Skylander Swap Force Review Including Video!

 Skylander Swap Force Figure and Game Review!

Including 5 Skylander Questions, answered by Jake!

Jake has made a video detailing the Warnado figure for Skylanders Swap Force. Jake is a massive fan as you can see from the pictures below, which have been taken from within his skylander themed bedroom.

The video itself details the differences between the previous Warnado and the Light-Core Swap-Force Edition. In this video Jake not only shows you the details on each figure but also how they work in the game and the improvements which have been made to Warnado.

Jake was so pleased to receive this figurine from Skylanders as he got to play with it before Christmas day because this was already on his list (Along with pretty much every other Skylander).

Just before you watch the video just has come up with a few answers to some burning questions.

What is Skylanders Swap-Force actually Like?

One Word “AMAZING” this game is in a league of it’s own and in my opinion is far better than other games in the same category!

What is so different about Skylanders Swap-Force compared to the original games?

The usual host of characters have mostly changed except for a beloved few. Also the graphics have been truly enhanced on all levels making this game not only a must for the older consoles but for the next generation consoles too. The gameplay is Slick and I really am shocked by how this game improved especially being a big fan of the original instalment. The buttons in the game have been reconfigured to include the Jump Button, his was not a feature in the first 2 games but it was on the Wii Versions because Jump would have made you be able to complete the puzzles far to easily.

Why do you love Warnado Swap-Force light-core?

I have explained in depth in the video, however this character is certainly one of my favorites due to the fact its a turtle (one of my favorite animals) and this character is amazingly defensive and it has awesome maneuverability however his slow speed is painful but the third ability makes up for increased  speed.

Whats your Favourite Character in the whole Swap-Force so far, and Why?

 Grim-creeper is certainly my favorite, the reason for this is the character is able to attack multiple enemies at once and has amazing scythe combo’s allow you to throw enemies in the air and then smash them into the ground.

Last Question!

What’s your favorite Swap-Force Character-Combo So far?

“Fireloop” (Jake Shouts excitedly)

Top Half is Fire Kraken and the bottom half is Hoot Loop! These two characters combined make a fierce opponent to play with in battle mode, although I have not tried all the combos yet! I really can’t wait to collect them all.

      It is a shame that it seems to be boys that are playing Skylanders, There is quite a few figures that definitely would appeal to girls,

    What a lot of Skylanders figures. 😀
    Mind you, my nephew has loads, so may well have as many. Guess I just think it looks a lot as my daughter really isn’t into Skylanders.
    Oh, and – great review – at least now I can pretend that I’ve a half idea what my nephew is talking about. lol.

    My nephew is totally into Skylanders. He loves Warnado! He doesn’t have as many as your son, so he would be jealous. Great video!
