Skylanders Superchargers offers some high-speed fun but hits a few speed bumps

The Skylanders are back, and this time they’re tearing up land, sea, and sky in supercharged vehicles. And yes, this is as fun as it sounds.

Skylanders Superchargers, out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, is the fifth entry in the annual series that really kicked off the multibillion dollar toys-to-life genre back in 2011. This time around, developer Vicarious Visions returns to the helm and offers up some much-needed diversity and innovation to the franchise. I played the Xbox One version for this review.
