Replaying Giants on WiiU-Wow! Its fun!

Just a quick note....
I picked up Skylanders Giants WiiU version for $0.99 at our local Gamestop (We have it for the standard Wii). So this was a good prompt to pull out our Giant Skylander collection and play it again. I gotta say:
I forgot how fun a basic, good Skylander game could be! Straight forward but an enjoyable, quirky romp...Can anybody say: Zombie Dance party?!?!?...lol.
And it reminded me....HEROIC CHALLENGES!!! Boy, I miss those. It gave you a really concrete way to improve your own Skylander collection...make it a personal achievement with real gameplay benefit.
Don't remember...? Try walking around with EyeBrawl without the speed improvements gained by knocking out all the Speed Boost challenges. He's like molasses in a cooler...in a refrigerator...outdoors in Antartica. He's excellent but slooooooow. But as you work him thru the Challenges, he warms up fast! And its very rewarding to get YOUR EyeBrawl up to speed.
They could be a bit of a grind but overall, really fun!!! And it did represent serious replay value.
Also...Giants looks wonderfully vivid in the WiiU revamp...Strangely enough, from Swap Force on the better computing power seemed to encourage levels that are a bit too cluttered and "busy" feeling at times. Giants gives pretty landscapes and crisp graphics...its a nice touch.
Its certainly worth it if you can find it at a reasonable cost.
I recommend it!!!!
