“The variety of platforming and kart-based gameplay holds charm for gamers of all ages, and while you’ll need to buy more vehicles to access the game’s full spectrum of content, there’s more value to be had in both the toys and the game this time around.”
“The main story is fun and incorporates vehicle play in intriguing ways, with fewer types of gated areas that offer more unique experiences. The vehicle toys are just really fun to play with.”
“Vehicles add a new twist to the gameplay, featuring brilliant, imaginative level design, fun racing and co-op modes, making it the most spectacular Skylanders yet.”

Race for the prize–Skylanders SuperChargers review
Skylanders SuperChargers is hands-down one of the best kid-friendly games on the market, and the most complete realization of the “toys to life” genre to date. The variety of platforming and kart-based gameplay holds charm for gamers of all ages, and while you’ll need to buy more vehicles to access the game’s full spectrum of content, there’s more value to be had in both the toys and the game this time around.

Skylanders Superchargers is a competent sequel, but it lacks some of the charm of its predecessors by focusing too much on its collection of vehicles.

Now, the tricky matter of a conclusion. This, when you boil it right down, is another Skylanders game with the good and bad points that entails. When the game gets it right, it's a genuinely enjoyable romp, with good characterisation in the NPCs and a decent story to keep things ticking along. Then, along comes a vehicle arena combat based level, and suddenly it isn't so much fun. It's no exaggeration to say that the list of things we'd rather do than play the vehicular arena areas include laundry, gardening and root canal work. This one style of play spoils a lot of the good work that's done here, sitting in the mix of levels like an wasp's nest at a picnic. Skylanders Superchargers could have been a contender, but the enforced arena vehicle sections mean that it only sputters along in the middle of the pack.
