\u201cEveryone at Activision and Toys for Bob has poured a tremendous amount of passion, imagination and love into creating Skylanders Spyro\u2019s Adventure<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. \u201cAnd while it\u2019s certainly gratifying to receive recognition from the likes of Toy Insider<\/em> and Time to Play<\/em>, we are most excited to share Skylanders Spyro\u2019s Adventure<\/em><\/strong> with the most important audience of all, young gamers everywhere.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Skylanders Spyro\u2019s Adventure<\/em><\/strong> is the first game to deliver a cross-platform experience that allows kids to bring toys to life in a magical world via the Portal of Power<\/em><\/strong>. And because the toys remember their experiences, they can travel seamlessly\u2014from your house to a friend\u2019s and from one platform to another, including the Nintendo Wii\u2122, Nintendo 3DS\u2122, the Xbox 360\u2122 game and entertainment system, the PlayStation\u00ae3 Computer entertainment system, PCs and Macs, as well as on the web with Skylanders Spyro\u2019s Universe<\/em><\/strong>SM<\/sup>. Skylanders Spyro\u2019s Adventure<\/em><\/strong>\u2019s boundless multi-modal, cross-platform play is a watershed for both the toy and videogame industries, and for young gamers seeking genuinely innovative and exciting digital adventure. 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.\u00a0 But they are very much alive on the inside and only young gamers can free them by placing them on the Portal of Power<\/em><\/strong> so they can return to the Skylands and defeat Kaos.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
