This version of the game is intended for those that already had the Original Skylanders. The pack contains some paperwork cards,stickers the game disc and your first Giant Skylander Tree Rex. Despite the game title its hard even as an adult to not think.."wow he really is giant". It is also impossible not to be impressed when placing him on the Portal causes his eyes and photosynthesis cannon light up. Essentially, it's a really nice model and your Skylander fan kids will be suitably impressed.
The game itself has a familiar feel about it, many elements of the storyline and missions will make you feel right at home without leaving you feeling like you've done it all before. There are some great 'in-game' games to play in addition to the story chapters. Possibly the most exciting being 'Arena mode' which is activated after completing one of the early chapters. Skystones is also a good addition helping your younglings to learn how to think strategically.
One small but nice touch is giving you something to do with the 'legendary treasures' you find along the way. In way similar to Skylanders Online, where you change the appearance of your Skylands, you can customise your 'base of operations' (don't want to give away too much).
There are a few things to be aware before diving in:
1)You can use series 1 Skylanders but they won't increase in level or add their heroic challenges. You can, however, spend the oodles of money they might have accumulated previously in this game..very useful. EDIT: 13/11/2012 Actually the series 1 Skylanders DO level up to 15!
2)To upgrade you Skylanders stats to the max. You will have to purchase the Series 2 skylanders and Giants to make stat improving Heroic challenges available.... Read more ›

I ordered this for my 9 year old. He absolutely loves it. The figures for the original Skylanders are compatible and the new Skylanders look very impressive, lit up on the portal of power. His favourite is hotdog. I would recommend this , albeit expensive, new game .

My boys 1st got Skylanders aged 5 and 4 and immediately loved it. This Christmas they got the upgrade pack and are having as much fun on it as they did the original (which they still enjoyed playing 18 months on)
The game involves a degree of problem solving and team work I would much rather they get involved and play on this together than veg out in front of the TV. Although I do recommend re-chargeable batteries which not only cost a lot less in the long run but sometime give a much needed break when they run out!

I have given Skylanders Giants Booster Pack 4 stars as it gives everything as stated on it's packaging. Amazon were the only retailer to have it in stock and the price was a pound or two below others. Overall Amazon have supplied exactly what I needed at a good price and delivered it very quickly. I could not give 5 stars as like other parents I know this ongoing and developing product range has trapped us. My sons enjoy playing the game, but it is a shame that the initial game now needs a purchased booster pack to enable additional adventures. Well done to the creators of Skylanders for a marketing dream that will continue to eat pocket, birthday and Christmas money for the forseeable future!

Perfect addition to the normal Skylanders game. My son loves the new giants and is always on the look out for new releases. The game gives you added extras to normal skylanders too, or so my son tells me!
