The Arkeyan Conquertron carries Glumshanks and Kaos out of the collapsing city and to the safety of an island before shutting down completely. Master Eon congratulates the new Portal Master, but hints that the journey with their Skylanders, and Giants, are only just beginning.
After the credits, Kaos returns to his castle where he revealed to Glumshanks that he has at least 37 more plans to take over Skylands. The evil Portal Master laughed evilly, only to be confronted by his mother moments later. Master Eon greets the Portal Master and introduces them to the world of Skylands that is protected by the Skylanders.
He then informed them of an evil villain from the distant past, Captain Frightbeard, a giant pirate fiend who was known to have had plundered and terrorized Skylands until the Arkeyans banished him and his pirate fleet within the Chest of Exile. Master Eon tasked the Portal Master to defeat Captain Frightbeard and save Skylands with the Skylanders and the Giant they have uncovered before wishing them luck on their adventure.
They immediately embark on a quest to find the clues that would lead to the chest in hopes of stopping Frightbeard from releasing his pirate fleet to continue his terror on Skylands. Along the way, they ask for Cali's help, and soon gain unlikely allies in the form of Information and the a giant Tiki Idol.
However, while the Skylanders were treking through the Overgrowth of the Rust Marsh , they encountered one of the Frightbeard's lietenants, Rustbeard , who revealed that while the Skylanders were looking for the next clue, the pirates ravaged the Dread Yacht and stole the clues they had gained. The Skylanders soon bested Rustbeard and returned to the Dread Yacht. Not losing hope, the Skylanders and their friends journeyed to Frightbeard's stronghold to reclaim the clues and were able to take them back.
With the clues back in hand, the heroes were able to locate where the Chest of Exile laid, but arrived too late as Captain Frightbeard got to it first, determined to finish what he had started: to plunder all of Skylands with his massive pirate fleet. The Skylanders quickly made their way through the malestrom generated by the Chest and reach Captain Frightbeard onboard The Phantom Tide.
After a grueling battle, the heroes defeated Frightbeard and his sword struck into the Chest of Exile, causing the maelstrom to suck Frightbeard and his entire pirate fleet back within, with his sword serving once again as the chest's lock.
The heroes celebrated their victory, with Flynn trying to take credit on the Skylanders' hard work. Suddenly, a cookbook for the world's most 'awesome pirate pasteries' was thrown at Flynn, and upon its discovery, the Mabu pilot became eager for some "grocery shopping" and urges his friends to set sail for the Dessert Island. Master Eon congrulates the Portal Master on their victory over Captain Frightbeard, but reveals that there are more adventures and that the journey with their Skylanders, and Giants, were only just beginning This game was received with mostly positive reviews.
The game was praised for the ability to use all previous Skylander character toys from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure to be used onto the game, three new difficulty settings with a fourth one being unlocked, and with a new pack of characters added into this installment to show a good addition to the sequel with a successful expansion to the series from it's original game, and with difficulty settings adding some extra appeal.

Some also criticized the game for only making characters and worlds available if players had purchased extra figures. Skylanders Giants is a substantial update to what is becoming a fast-growing franchise for Activision.
While some thought this might simply be more figures with some added DLC, it is in fact an out-and-out sequel. Gameplay is largely similar and offers a new shared-screen multiplayer story but the real interest is in the way Skylanders Giants, no doubt controversially for some, extends the range of toys that accompany the experience:. Interestingly, the figures I got my hands on at the event all had orange rather than green base plates.
This may well reflect the need to distinguish between original and new sets of Skylanders figures at retail.
This color coding system will help ensure players buy figures appropriate for their version of the game. The new game offers considerable value for those who have invested in a collection of Skylanders already.
