Oh, I've just been watching the trailers, I didn't think the gameplay videos were already on YouTube or something.

Oh, that's fine! I understand what you mean and your reason for caution.
I have it, and I like it, but to make judgment yourself you should watch gameplay videos and see if it's something you'd like.

I just dont want to risk buying it before I know for sure if its a good game, not a waste, as I thought it would be

#9716 Gem-A-Knight 21:08:11 18/01/2012
I feel like I won't but many people have changed their opinion, by saying its actually a good game

Oh, whoops , lol sorry, i didn't mean it like a rip off actually, but thats what it sounded like, Pokemon. For those of who have it though, is it fun?

I agree with post below me... Unless, of course, you mean buying the figures sounds like capturing them...

#9713 LevanJess 11:31:57 18/01/2012
No it's not. You don't capture your enemies.
You should really look at Skylanders first before calling it a rip off of anything if you don't know anything about it.

Lol, it sounds like you have to capture enemys you fight in order to play as them in sky landers, its like a remake of pokemon all over again smilie
