Gamepro seems to really like Skylanders

If I could show my ten-year-old self the “magic moment” of putting a Skylanders figurine on the portal and watching it come to life on the screen, I think mini-me would be floored. Toys for Bob are truly doing some incredible things with the tech behind Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, and it’s a pretty clear indication of what the future holds for toy/game hybrids. Even beyond the fact that the game is aimed at a younger demographic, I can’t imagine gamers of all ages being unimpressed with the cool hybrid tech the Skylanders devs have created here.

It’s a good quote, but they also seem to get the core concept better than most of the other sites.
