First look at... Skylanders Trap Team
11 years ago
General
Ok, So after I picked it up this morning at 10am, thank you Ebgames for opening early. I finally got Skylanders trap team. ^.^ Gotta love opening up a new game in it's box, looking at the new portal pad, which is a great improvement since the first one. If you wish to see what it looks like, look it up. Oh yeah, if you gotten the new skylanders or if you have more than 1 portal pad, go to an ebgames and trade it in for a special limited Pop Fizz character. ^.^ Yeah I got one.
So, playing only the first 2 levels, and 10 waves of the arena, I have learned some interesting things and seen how the game is played. So if you liked the first game with the fairy who upgrades your skylanders, she is back, and so are the mini fairies to bring down the cost. A lot of the NPC's from the first game are back, which is nice to see, cept Flynn, he's always there, and still voiced by Patrick Warburton. I love it.
As for the game play, it has the original feel, with the upgrades, like the ability to jump which was a nice improvement. Also has the same feature using the old skylanders with their levels back and ready to go. All the skylanders have new openings, saying the same opening sentence. Gameplay is fun, as always, easily can get overpowered by mobs, but nothing if you are leveled properly. Now when you rank up your portal master level, you get gifts, which are money, exp, even items. I do love the new skylander trap masters, they are amazing to use, I can hardly wait for more to come out so I can get them. I like that you have enemies you can catch now too and swap out to use them. So you can like run 2 characters and swap out in a second.
There are disadvantages as well, like so far, you need trap masters of the elements to go through elemental doors, which I think is kinda cheap. In swap force, if you wanted to go through a 2 elemental door, you can play 2 players to go through it. The other gripe is the trap enemies.. or more so the traps you need to use to catch them. Two things more or less, one, you need a trap of the element to put the monster inside of it once you defeated him, and two, you need have the trap element to catch them, and at $7.99 per trap... that's costly, though getting 3 of them is $16.99 so.. it's much better to buy 3 in a pack. That being said, if you dont catch one in a trap, you can do it later in the main town, so, no worries if, Oh shoot I dont have a trap to catch them... you can do it later.
So far, I am loving the game,and it's a lot of fun, I defently recommend picking it up if you love RPG's and multiple characters to play as, or even if you loved the original games, it's a nice addition. ^.^
