I did not know there was more than one of these games.
I use to play this whenever I went to my friend's house. We never finished it but I remember it being a cool idea but not executed the best

peak skylanders
The swapping mechanic is so mesmerizing it easily elevated the franchise's ambition to new heights. The stylistic change isn't my favorite but it still works really well. Tons of post game content make this one of if not the lengthiest game in the series in a good way.
This was fun when it came out
This is 100% an autism thing, but mixing up the toys long term really fucking bugged me in the same way mixing up Beyblade parts long term would. Also I remember it talked your ear off. One of the first times I can recall outgrowing an interest that wasn't obviously a childrens' show.
This one was a lot of fun actually! A big step-up in the tech department makes for a very pretty game, combined with the usual mindless co-op brawler fun that the series has iterated on with each entry.
Usual dull for babies story with all the foreseeable twists and turns you'd expect, and some levels can drag a bit, but otherwise a surprise hit. Not exactly gonna win game of the century, but was a fun couple of sessions nonetheless.

they were getting more creative with the toys but the hype was dying down. i was still a diehard though so I couldn't complain
This game is my favourite skylanders game. The swap mechanic was fresh and new and the game was plenty long. The combat is just as good as the previous games. Some of the characters are a bit forgettable though.
Best Skylanders game.
The last Skylanders I ever played.
It introduced stink bomb whos my favourite skylander so...
I say this as someone who played all of the skylanders games religiously back when the franchise was relevant
I'm pretty content with this being the only one I regularly go back to nowadays

I wish I could go back to a simpler time.
Best one in the series to me. Most polished by far, with enough new and interesting features.
Absolutely goated
The swap mechanic is probably the most genuinely inspired new toy gimmick they made for this series. The last truly good Skylanders game in my opinion
For a game from 2013 the graphics are really fucking nice. Even on my Xbox 360.
Swap Force is definitely one of the stronger entries in the series with hours of content,beautiful locations,fun boss fights,an incredible gimmick and the best roster of skylanders in the series only thing marking it down is WELCOME BACK TO WOODBURROW HERO OF CLOUDBREAK ISLANDS is engraved in my brain please help me i want to be free of this pain
Skylander: Swap Force might be the best Skylanders to date thanks to its 'swap' mechanic, something that 10 year old me had an absolute blast with it for how fun it was to mess with a characters appearance.
Nice.
Really fun concept but looking back, having to buy all of those figurines to get the full enjoyment of the game is kind of scummy. Gameplay is pretty alright.
While it's not necessarily a very good game and you have to spend exorbitant amounts of money on action figures, this is still a very nostalgic game for me.
My favorite Skylanders game ever made. It added the ability to jump and introduced Swap Force Skylanders; figures you can mix and match with other figures.
Everyone says this is the best one and they're wrong. The visuals in this one are technically better than the first game, but I will die on the hill that the older textures gave the old games real atmosphere. Things look too clean here. As for gameplay, I remember disliking the minigame distractions you could find along the main path. Puzzle and combat rooms were replaced with minigames that correspond to the bottom half of your swap dude, and they all kinda suck. Overall, meh.
Best and first skylanders game for me. Swap mechanic was very smart. Best level design and characters.
This game was the game that made me finally quit on skylanders... I spent way too much money trying to get the characters from giants that I only went for the new guys in this one when I was buying the figures, and I think that was a good call. The game actually added a jump button and is a huge graphical leap above the first two games, which were developed for the wii hardware in mind first and foremost. However, I also think that by this part of the series, the skylanders IP was finding most of its audience with younger children, mostly the like 4-6 year old crowd or so, and because of that this game feels really toned down and "babyish" (?) than the previous games. Like more of a Nick Jr. cartoon instead of a regular Nickelodeon cartoon, ya know? I also noticed that a lot of skylanders-based content was more designed for younger audiences than I was, and it only seemed like those taking the series somewhat seriously were fringe groups on spyro forums. For those reasons I realized I might be too old to really be getting into it any further and dipped. Maybe in the future I might play the remaining 3 games in the series just to see what I missed, but as of now, this game was what made me stop.
definitely could tell things were starting to decline in the quality department as these games released yearly and i got older but the toy gimmick is cool for this game, shit still costs a good bit of money lol
I lost a good amount of the halves
This game was a complete scam.
However it was the most fun scam I have ever participated in.

I love the part where Glumshanks says "It's swapping time" and everyone swaps
