Skylanders ro's Adventure is an Action-Adventure game spin-off
from the ro series designed for younger players that unlocks a
whole new game universe while incorporating a unique gameplay
mechanic utilizing more than 30 physical action figures that
synch with consoles, creating a controllable in-game
representation of that figure. The first release in the Skylander
series, Skylanders ro's Adventure Starter Pack contains three
action figures, an exclusive game peripheral as well as other
items. Action figures are compatible with all versions of the
game. The game features co-op and competitive multiplayer,

The Skylanders Story
--------------------
For generations, the Skylanders -- a diverse group of mythical
creatures, each with their own powers, personality and tendencies
-- have used their magical powers, weapons and levelable battle
skills to protect their homeland, the Skylands. But now, an evil
tyrant with the powers of a portal master has frozen and banished
them to Earth. Only you, a portal master yourself, can physically
put Skylanders on the Portal of Power -- a conduit between this
world and theirs -- and bring them back to life in their world
where they can battle to save Skylands forever.
Action Figures with Brains
--------------------------
Skylanders are special physical action figures that come to life
in-game. Just take a Skylander, place it on the included Portal
of Power, which is synched to your game console and a
representation of your chosen Skylander will come to life in the
video game and do your bidding. There are over 30 Skylanders in
total - each with unique abilities and powers (three are included
in your starter pack). Skylander action figures remember their
in-game experiences and upgrades as they explore the mysterious
world of Skylands, battle menacing creatures and collect
treasures. Conveniently, it doesn't matter what gaming system
your friends have at their house, the Skylanders work on and
across all major video game systems. That means that you can take
your Skylanders over to your friend's house, drop them on their
Portal of Power and your Skylanders will come to life in the
game.
