E3 2014: ‘Skylanders Trap Team’ Let’s You Capture Enemies!

Skylanders Trap Team is the newest Skylander game and, don’t worry, your old figures are compatible with the new game. The new game comes with a portal (it lights up!), two figures and two crystals. There are other figures and crystals sold separately.

The cool thing with this new game is that you can capture enemy characters, put them into the crystals (that fit into the portal), and use them to fight for you! There are over 50 new Skylanders and 40 playable enemies. In this new game, you can tag team with the enemy characters and use their techniques to your advantage. For example: with Chill Bill, you can freeze something then switch back to smash it or with Broccoli Guy you can leave healthy food and you can heal yourself when you switch back.

Not only does the portal light up, but the crystal traps do too! The crystals are placed into the portal in a section that looks like a dungeon. There is a speaker in there and the villians talk to you while imprisoned. They will let you know if they are ready or not ready (you can only use them for a certain amount of time), they can drop hints on what you are supposed to do and they can congratulate you when you do well.

This looks like a fun game that kids and adults can enjoy! Having actual figures outside the game that are playable is a super cool feature of this game. Make sure to check it out.
