Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Hits Nintendo Wii and 3DS

Buoyed by glowing endorsements from the Toy Talk awards, Activision has announced that Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure is now available across Europe. The Starter Pack includes the game, three Skylanders action figures, the Portal of Power peripheral, a poster and trading cards - everything consumers need to experience the highly anticipated mingling of digital and physical play that only Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure can deliver.

Everyone at Activision and Toys for Bob has poured a tremendous amount of passion, imagination and love into creating Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure. And while it’s certainly gratifying to receive recognition from the likes of Toy Insider and Time to Play, we are most excited to share Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure with the most important audience of all, young gamers everywhere.
- Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.

Kids can collect more than 30 characters, each with their own powers and personality; and each expands the gameplay experience. The sinister Portal Master Kaos has cast them out of the Skylands and banished them to earth, where they are frozen and appear to look like toys. But they are very much alive on the inside and only young gamers can free them by placing them on the Portal of Power so they can return to the Skylands and defeat Kaos. The adventure-driven story was penned by Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen, two of the Academy Award-nominated writers of the original Toy Story movie, Academy Award-winning composer, Hans Zimmer, created the game’s theme song and Lorne Balfe composed the score.

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure includes a vast single player adventure, co-op gameplay, battle modes, puzzle solving and treasure hunts. The result is a line of highly collectible characters, an engaging story and an unparalleled interactive entertainment experience. Cubed3's recent preview of the game can be read here.
