Critics Consensus:Skylanders Swap Force

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Skylanders!

It was recently announced that Skylanders was now a billion dollar franchise. And the third game had not even come out yet. The magic of Activision ladies and gentlemen. Instead of churning out the same game like what happened with Skylanders last game Giants, this new Skylanders allows you to swap different parts for your Skylander. (Could be a little bit catchier)
Anyway let's find out if Skylanders is more than just a one trick pony.
One main thing that critics complained about for Swap Force (particularly IGN and AtomicGamer) is the plot. While the plot for a game like this will never be a strong suit the plot feels too repetitive compared to the last games. However Skylanders is still a great gimmick as it always is and if you have or are an 8 year old kid you'll have a blast.
Overall only buy this if you have kids. (It is a little bit expensive though)
Skylanders Swap Force is rated E10+
