Each copy of the video game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure game bundles three Skylanders figures and a "Portal of Power," two elements which combine to make it unique. Once the portal is plugged into a game console or PC via USB, the figure that's placed on the surface becomes the playable character in the game, which combines RPG elements with puzzle-solving, treasure collecting, and hack 'em, slash 'em gameplay. Predictably, each figure and its accompanying game character have different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, but the toys also physically store in-game level-ups, achievements, and currency. This means young gamers can bring their favorite figures to a friend's house and retain anything they earn, even on other consoles — Skylanders is available for the PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, 3DS, Windows, and Mac.
