Skylanders Imaginators Starter Pack vs Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Pack

These are two different Skylanders games on two different consoles, so the console you own decides first. Imaginators is the later game (2016) and lets you build your own Skylanders from parts, which most families rate as the more creative and longer-lasting of the two. SuperChargers (2015) adds vehicles and racing on top of the usual figure collecting, and its starter pack includes a land, sea and air vehicle plus two figures. Both are solid co-op games for kids; Imaginators has the deeper character customization, SuperChargers has the racing mode.

• Choose the Imaginators Starter Pack if you own an Xbox One and want the newer game with custom character creation.
• Choose the SuperChargers Starter Pack if you own a PlayStation 4 and want vehicle racing alongside the figure collecting.
