Skylanders Trap Team: Trap 8 Pack

Product Information

Each Skylander toy comes equipped with an RFID card inside. This stores a small amount of information in the toy instead of the system's memory, allowing you to use the same Skylander toy at your friend's house, across different platforms, and on previous Skylanders games! The information that is saved includes the following: Greening, Chris (April 25, 2014). "Lorne Balfe to return for Skylanders: Trap Team". Game Music Online . Retrieved April 25, 2014. All trap exclusive Villains, such as Riot Shield Shredder and Outlaw Brawl & Chain, remain in their original color schemes even when they are evolved.

The villains are everywhere--usually two or three per stage. The result is a Skylanders game with the most playable characters, but the fewest actual Skylanders figures since the original. Given the annual release schedule, I had to wonder if the emphasis on trapping villains was meant to alleviate the burden of putting so many figures into full production on such a tight schedule.As in previous games, the player controls a variety of characters by placing toy figures representing the characters onto a near field communication-enabled interface device known as the Traptanium Portal, which activates the character in the game. Veloria, Lorenzo (October 7, 2014). "Skylanders Trap Team review". GamesRadar+ . Retrieved March 25, 2022.

In Skylanders: SuperChargers, when placed in the portal, your Vehicle will receive an elemental power based on the trap's element and a special Skystone for Skystones Overdrive depending on which villain is trapped inside. In the Wii version of SuperChargers Racing, when placed in the portal, your Vehicle will receive a stat boost depending on the trap's element. Skylanders Trap Team is compatible with all Skylanders toys from the previous games. However, the new Skylander characters will not be compatible with the previous Skylander games unless it's a new version of a returning character. Cowan, Danny (October 1, 2014).

There are two ways to play Skylanders Trap Team: use a Skylander hero, or trap one of Skylands’ most wanted and bring them over to your cause. When you ensnare an enemy in a Trap, they’re transported into the real world via the Traptanium Portal. A built-in speaker in the Traptanium Portal allows you to hear the voices of captured villains, bringing the adventure right into the room – or you can return them to Skylands and play as them! Switch between playing as a hero or a villain at any time and put together your ultimate Trap Team to defeat Kaos!

Rating

Graphically, Skylanders Trap Team is truly spectacular. The game only works on certain devices, but when it does, it offers visuals worthy of even the latest-generation consoles. The Shrub Shrieker, Blazing Belch, and Beam Scream were only commercially released in regions of Australia. They did not see an North American, nor a European release, making them incredibly difficult to get a hold of and are now some of the most expensive Skylander figures on the aftermarket to date.
