Skylanders Swap Force: "Exclusive" information?

Hello Portal Masters,

in a german video
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Skylanders-Spyros-Adventure-PC-236980/Videos/Skylanders-Swap-Force-Preview-zum-neuen-Skylanders-Spiel-1047468/

there have been some information from a German Event, that were not in any other video.

According to the video, while using the left movement cross thing, you can change the facial expression of your skylanders. Also, they mention some of the movement



climp, stealth, rocket, speed, teleport, 

And on oneof swords I found digging as a movement. 

So we know 6 of 8 movements already.

And they said that two players can fly side by side in the swap zone. I wonder if you need both flying characters for that but probably not :)


Will keep you updated!

Skylanders Giants: Wave 2

Dear Portal Masters,

Today I will review wave 2 of the giants, since I got asked about that a lot.

So let me first say who was in the wave:

Giant: Hot Head

New Skylanders: Sprocket, Flashwing

Series 2: Bash, Drill Sergeant, Flame Slinger, Hex, Stump Smash, Sonic Boom, Gill Grunt, Double Trouble

Light Core: Jet-Vac

This time I did not get all the figures, just the new ones in the tripple packs
(Sprocket, Sonic Boom, Stump Smash) and (Flashwing, Gill Grunt, Double Trouble)
as well as Hex and Hot Head

I will share my opinion about the new ones:

Sprocket:
She is a lot of fun and very different from all the other Skylanders. I think she is a little trickier than some others, so maybe smaller kids will have troube getting the best of her.
But I think she is great.

Flashwing:
Suprised me as being pretty powerful. She is quick and can do a lot of things. I think her gameplay is not the most fun, since it is not as versatile as I like my Skylanders, but I still like her and she is better than I expected.

Hot Head:
A real power house. One of my favourite Giants so far playwise (I still don't like the figure that much, but ok). I do think that his motorcycle ability is absolutely useless, but ok. The other abilities are really strong.

I woud definetely recommend Hot Head! He is strong and a cool Fire Skylander. Probably my favourite of the Giants playwise (from series one and two). Sprocket and Flashwing are both very nice. I would consider Flashwing for younger players and Sprocket for players who want a more strategicly chalenging character.

Hope this helps some (although you all might already have all the characters ;))

Talk to you soon!

Skylanders Swap Force: First Gameplay Video

Hello Portal Masters,

there is a new video of Swap Force on FGTV (I am so jealous..:)) where he shows the introduction of Skylanders Swap Force and we get to see gameplay.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V2hXs70T-A

Just the look of Eruptor got me really exited! He looks SOOOO much better and more detailed, I can't wait to see the rest of the old ones!

And the jumping and level design and new gimmicks look promising. I cannot wait to play myself!

What do you think? Will you give "Swap Force" a chance or is it all over after Giants for you?

Let me know and enjoy!


Charon

PS: Some other videos he posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUW3J2KeRFs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kwlVUO_H-A

Skylanders Swap Force: Characters 2

Hello Portal Masters,

so the new trailer shower us some more Swap Force Characters.

We can add

Stink Bomb (Life Skylander)


Freeze Blade (I am pretty sure it should be a Water Skylander)



Night Shift (Undead Skylander)



These make me like the new swap option a lot, since I really like the bottom of Night Shift, but do not enjoy his top half that much.

But I will get to my opinions another time!

CU!

Charon
