Mom in the City Best Kids Summer Toys:
Skylanders Wii Spyro’s Adventure Starter Pack (with Giveaway)

Congrats to the winner Mary Cloud

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure Starter Pack is a game that kids will enjoy and parents will be happy to see them play. My kids are eagerly anticipating when Skylanders Giants launches this fall, but meanwhile they are enjoying the original.

The starter pack comes with a copy of the game, 3 Skylanders, the ‘Portal of Power’ peripheral and other miscellaneous items. My kids like to battle together in the game as a team, but there is also the opportunity to battle in the arena as an individual player. Skylanders was the hottest game for the 2011 holiday season and its popularity doesn’t show any signs of letting up. With a combination of the virtual video game and the collectible “real-world” toy figures, it’s a win-win. It actually has the potential to be a win-win-win if you allow your kids to continue the game in the online web portion of the play world. My oldest (8 year old) son likes to play online at the Skylanders Spyro’s Universe web world http://universe.skylanders.com/, and I’m fine with it now since I have found it to be a safe (monitored!) virtual community for kids.

Skylanders is available for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC and 3DS gaming systems. (The review and giveaway copies that I received are for the Wii.) In the game, players go on a journey to save the world so to enter to win the Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure Starter Pack, simply let me know where you would like to take a fun (or adventurous) journey with your family in the “Comments” section below. (My answer would be “Paris”!) I will randomly pick a winner* Wednesday (July 18th) at noon. Good luck!
