So, you've seen the announcement of the new Skylanders Trap Team game from last night, but you're probably wondering what exactly "trapping" is at it relates to the game.
Well, it's pretty simple, as we saw during our hands-off demo time last night. The usual "boss battles" in the game will now allow you to capture the villains that you've just bested - and that will include Kaos by the end of the game.
Once you've gone through the boss fight and beaten your enemy, a prompt will come up to place the requisite crystal in your Portal of Power's new traptanium crystal slot. All of the villains are type-coded just like the Skylanders - they will be either fire, water, air, life, earth, tech, undead or magic type.
When your crystal is in the portal, the villain will be transported to the crystal. The cool part is, the villain will start off talking on your screen and end up talking from the portal itself via a built-in speaker once you've captured it.
