Skylanders: Trap Team for Xbox 360 is an action-adventure game with a unique toys-to-life twist. Players use physical toy figures, placing them on a special 'Traptanium Portal' to bring characters into the game. The game expands the Skylanders universe, introducing 'Traps' which allow players to capture and play as villains from the Skylanders world. It combines platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat, as players switch between Skylanders and captured foes to stop the notorious Kaos. The game is family-friendly and encourages collecting and strategic character selection.
