    This was also my first ever skylander game, the graphics are so good, the gimmick is so creative, and the experience was so fun. Definitely #1 on the spot

    My favourite thing about swap force is how the elemental gates open when skylanders go next to them, I love the animation on the side of the elemental gates, though I wish there were more duel elemental gates over single elemental gates

  • @AlexMartinez-gv7hy

    So I feel that Swap Force was a great step forward, had a better gimmick than giants, a better game engine, had you use your current collection, still had core skylanders be good, and full of content. I'm glad that the legendary treasures give a boost instead if just money. Just wished Giants had a bit more to do instead of having the Giants chests, like maybe have mid bosses that take more damage from them. Anyways it's a great step forward where the next one is a few steps back.

    Swap Force isn't only the most nostalgic and my favorite Skylander game, I consider it as the best game in the Skylanders series. Swap Force definitely is the massive improvement over the previous games and left an deniable impact on the entire series. Swap Force skylanders are hands down the best gimmick skylanders ever.
    Though Swap Force isn't really a perfect game thanks to Rufus and Spin zones. And I did play the Wii version of Swap Force which is the weakest version but I still had fun with it. If I want to own Swap Force for myself and replay it over and over again, I must buy PS3 for myself first.
    Just like with the previous videos, I praise you for including the 3DS version of Swap Force on this video. The 3DS version of Swap Force is the best Skylanders game on 3DS in my opinion. Just like console version, the 3DS version is the massive improvement over the previous 3DS games. Count Moneybone is my favorite villain in the entire series. Swap zones are much better in the 3DS version. For those people who aren't happy about Hugo and Cali not being in the console version, they are in the 3DS version.

      Honestly man, I agree with you! Swap Force gets too much hate just for the longer levels. They may be long on your first run of the game but if you were to replay the levels then you wouldn't need to explore as much if you managed to find all the items.

    5:40 to 5:53. Oh man, I completely forgot about the Lightcore and repainted figures. These only make the cost problem even bigger. Jesus dude, how much did you pay to get all of these? I sure hope you go over this increase of more and more figures and costs as the games come by with yearly releases, especially on Trap Team!
    Seriously though, I have clue what the point of the Lightcore's were besides being extra cash for toys for bob. All they did was light up when placed on the portal and be slightly brighter ingame. They could've putted this concept on all the normal figures and called it a day. Its no wonder Lightcores were cancelled after swap force after only 2 games of appearing.
    Also forgive me for the lengthy comment, I always tend to make long comments lmao.
    9:42. Thank goodness these 14 levels are long, having about half the amount of levels of Spyro's Adventure would be a huge disappointment otherwise.
    12:56 well alot of people were affected by this change lmao. Seeing as how Chompies quickly went back to their old appearance for the rest of the series and only appeared as their comical appearance again in the 3ds games of Trap Team and Supercharge. Ironically, the chompies appeared as their realistic versions in the 3ds version of Swap Force.
    13:11 Agreed, This minigame is also more fun and interesting than the lock puzzles.
    14:35 I feel like this game glaringly shows off the problems arena mode can have. Since some of these new skylanders are so overpowered with certain upgrades, that they are practically unbeatable. Looking at you Bumble Blast and your Bee Keeper path....
    19:42 Someone who would want to get into the Skylander series? Hoowee I feel sorry for that lad then, since they will have to pay alot more money then when the game figures were sold in stores lol. That, or they play on emulation, which is a huge saver on their wallet.
    10:04 I'm posting this point last because I feel its the most important. The Sky Diamond. Its easily the most overpowered Magic Item in the game. You can use this Item on the dummies in Woodburrow and practically gain infinite amount of money to upgrade every single skylander you have. Including newly bought Skylanders. You can also possibly upgrade newer figures that come from Trap Team and up to upgrade them quickly. Did you not know this or did you purposelly chose not to go over this? Because this exploit is huge!
    ....I do wish I never showed more brother this exploit back in the day, because afterword he refused to play the story anymore and only wanted to play Arena now because the Story was "too childish".
