Skylanders Giants

Skylanders: Giants is a 2012 video game in the Skylanders series, and a direct sequel to the 2011 game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. It was released on October 17, 2012 in Australia, on October 19, 2012 in Europe, and was released on October 21, 2012 in North America, and will be released on November 22, 2012 in South America, by Neoplay. 
The game will introduce over 40 new toy figures, some of which are more than twice the size of the original Skylanders cast in both physical and virtual form. The game involves connecting a physical toy to the video game console through a "Portal of Power"; whichever toy is used creates a respective character in the game, Toy figures from the first game are also forward compatible with Giants, although there also new versions, called "Series 2" versions, of all previous toys, which have more powerful attributes than the originals.

The game also has a new and improved "Battle Mode", for head-to-head play, featuring more areas and gameplay options.

The game's plot is centered around the backstory between how the ancient Skylanders, who are the "Giants", were separated from the rest of the normal sized Skylanders.
