Speaking of which, the vehicle segments of this level with the Copter are actually not half bad. And even though levels like Autogyro Adventure get on my nerves with the sheer amount of enemies I need to slaughter just to progress, I play a round of Skystones with the Weapon Master and I feel refreshed!. When one gameplay style starts to get boring you can switch to other to mix things up. Like Dragon Quest 8, having both classic RPG mechanics and popular RPG mechanics can create a sense a freedom for the player. You can beat opponents in seconds by collecting stones from the best players hidden within levels, you can buy powerful Skystones at Auric shop to take down formidable players like Quigley in Rumble Town, and some opponents will give you extra challenge with elemental tiles that can only be used by certain types of monsters, adding extra strategy to the game. I still consider it to be the best side game in the series.

Excluding the receptive Arkeyan levels, I remember returning to Giants all the time just to replay another round of Sky Stones. But here in Giants, its actually pretty enjoyable. Most annoying of all is that developers program enemies to jump scare the player while they're working on them. Block puzzles, prism puzzles, cannon puzzles, switch puzzles, and my personal least favorite.rolling bomb puzzles! That junk always puts levels to a halt. Some elemental zones contain some the slowest moving platforms in gaming history. The turret sections only make appearances in the begging and around the end of the game combined out-of-no where robot vehicle level. I predict that people mainly hate the original Spyro's Adventure game mainly because the mini games hurt the experience. Skylanders Giants however, I think does its extra game mechanics pretty well.

Other times they can feel like chores, interfering with the main gameplay style. Preventing potential boredom found within receptive level formats. Alternate gameplay styles can help the overall experience feel fresh. You know, video game side content has been a mixed bag over the years. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
