Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

The game is set around Spyro and his Skylander friends who have to defeat Kaos, the evil Portal Master. The game is played as a third-person action game and each character has different abilities. The characters are divided into eight groups (classes) tied to the eight elements that are in the game: air, water, earth, tech, undead, magic, fire, and life, with four characters in each element.

The game's storyline revolves around defeating Kaos and his minions, while also exploring various levels set across different worlds. Each character has two primary attacks, both of which can be upgraded by using coins collected in the game. Experience also leads to new abilities, unlocked by discovering certain hats, and eventually a tertiary attack.

Any upgrades, coins, or hats are not saved in the game but directly to the toy via the Portal of Power. Furthermore, the toys are cross-platform; all information saved onto a toy can be played on any device that runs the game. The Portal of Power is not interchangeable between consoles and PC for all versions, but for some.

When a character dies, the level needs to be restarted or a new character needs to be introduced, or the player has to wait about twenty minutes before it is revived. A second player can join the game to play cooperatively by placing an additional toy on the Portal of Power. The game features the main adventure, which can be played with a single player or co-op. In addition, Skylanders features a player-versus-player mode, where players can battle against each other in arenas filled with traps, weapons, and obstacles.

The game was released for the PlayStation 3 on October 14th, 2011. It is an action & adventure game.
