Skylanders Giants

 SkyLanders Giants is the a sequel to SkyLanders: Spyros’ Adventure, Giants includes many new feature includong a whole new variety of differant characters, they are known as Giants. this game was released on October 17^th 2012 in Australia, October 19^th in Europe and on the 21^st October it was released in North America, and in November it will be released in South America. i believe this shows us the scale of popularity of this series as it is available and popular world wide. The popularity of this game can also be recognised as ACTIVISION sold over 31 million toys from the prequel Skylander:Spyros' Adventure. Skylanders Giants will be available on all the big platforms on release which is the Nintendo 3DS, Play station 3, the Wii, Xbox 360 and It is also going to be available for the new Wii U.

Skylander: Giants is available on Amazon for order. The Price of a starter Pack or booster pack which includes the game and one giant figure for the Wii it cost’s [£36.99], for the Xbox 360 [£39.99], on Play station 3, [£39.99]. For the price of one figure alone they are in the price range of [£17.00].

The most creative and inovative feature of Skylanders: Giants is the ability to purchase any character of their choice, place it on the 'portal of power' and watch it appear on the screen ready to play.

Skylanders Giants is advertised on the televison, youtube, games websites such as IGN, and the social networking sites ie Twitter. it is very cleverly marketed as certain aspects of the game are only accessible with a specific type of character which means that the consumer will have to go out and purchase another character for £17.00 if they want to access that part of the game. I belive that that aspect of the game is what is going to bring in the laargest amount of revenue as even if some one does not hav e the game they may still want to buy the figure.
