Gameplay
Skylanders: Giants builds upon the fundamentals of the first game, which merges a line of physical toy figures with a video game world.[11] The game will introduce over 40 new toy figures, some of which are more than twice the size of the original Skylanderscast in both physical and virtual form.[12] The game involves connecting a physical toy to the video game console through a "Portal of Power"; whichever toy is used creates a respective character in the game.[12] Toy figures from the first game are also forward compatible with Giants,[12] although there are also new versions, called "Series 2", which have more powerful attributes than the originals."Light core" which glows up when put on Portal of Power.[13] The game also has a new and improved "Battle Mode", for head-to-head play, featuring more areas and gameplay options.
Plot
The plot of this game is focused on how the history of Skylands comes alive again in the present. The main villain from the last game, Kaos, finds himself in a toy store. Becoming unfrozen, he found a Portal of Power, and goes back to Skylands. He finds an ancient Arkeyan robot, and goes on the search for the Lost City of Arkus. The player is sent out on a quest to rebuild Flynn's ship, and get to the Lost City before Kaos. Multiple new characters show up throughout the levels, and many join the player on their adventure. However, Kaos eventually finds the Lost City of Arkus. When Kaos enters a powerful, robotic fist, he transforms into a giant robotic version of himself. The player must now find their way into the place where Kaos is, and defeat him. In the last level, the player must run down a long path, avoiding punches from Kaos. In the last part of the level, two characters from previous levels return to help the player defeat Kaos. During the battle, the player must avoid dangerous magic, smaller enemies, robotic Kaos, and all the while attempting to destroy the robotic fist that transformed Kaos. The giants have 300-400 lives when the game begins.
After the level is completed, Kaos is rescued by Glumshakes as the Arkeyan robots start to tumble down from losing their power source. However, the two escaped in an Arkeyan robot (which too is losing power). The robot slowly loses power, and then crashes into a nearby floating island.
In the end, Kaos and Glumshanks are shown entering Kaos' Kastle. There they run into Kaos's mother, who's shadow is only shown; suggesting that a third game, would possibly be involving Kaos' family members. Skylanders have to compete all the goals in order to win.
