Not a real Spyro game

This game was horrible. The only good thing I can say is the graphics were ok- despite several problems with camera angles

The voices of Elijah Woods and David Spade couldn't be more annoying- is there a reason after all the spyro games they felt the need to give them voices?

The game has several gliches (I would die in the middle of a fight and then suddenly appear in the next scene and would never have to finish the original fight.)

However the most annoying part was the lack of imagination from the creators. Come on guys- you had a great template to work from, the original games had a variety of characters, minigames, secret locations, tons of things to collect- this game has no imagination. Its the same thing over and over, even the bad guys are the same (despite the occasional change of clothing). Instead of spending time coming up with silly names for EVERY single one of the bad guys, it would have been nice for the programmers to have familiarized themselves with the original games and build on an already great template. Its too short, unimaginative and feels like its unfinished. My suggestion would be to spend less money on celebrity voice overs and more on developing a good game.

I'm sorry, but where is the old Spyro where you collect gems? The only thing I really liked was the graphics, and I didn't like that it plays like an RPG. If you like playing RPG's then I would play this, but if you like the old Spyro's do not!

boring and easy

im a big spyro fan this spyro game is the 2nd worst spyro its easy the reason why its easy is because they did not put much in this spyro game when i first got this game i did not understood it because spyro was so stupid he thought he was a dragonfly and the previous games he knew he was a dragon not a dragonfly this was sapost to be the story how he became a hero boy was that a stupid idea this is just like star wars revenge of the sith and it was too serious just like revenge of the sith but sparx was ignoying he was making me mad with his big mouth and suddenly they was talking about the dark master and he started this war what war

I agree with you!

Those Dumb metiors keep on comming and they totally kill you.
I also agree with you about Tall Plains The best level of the game!

You Know what's even cool I beat Cynder everytime I play the game!

The secret is you need to know which element to use and the type of breath

The biggest Spyro Fan

Good game but stupid gameplay

This game is fun , no side games [what a releif!] and there is dumb gameplay like for example

1. The moves are so way off the hook [like the horn dive for instance it looks stupid and it feels weird to press "X-X-R1" instead of "X-X-O" and the tail strike should be renamed the tail dive]

2. you have to go through training [instead of going to visit an elder in "a hero's tail"] some moves i can't do very good like the stupid " Knock the big guy into the little guys" move

3. The bosses take FOREVER to kill

Then here are some things I like about this game

1.Ember from "a hero's tail" and "Shadow Legacy" is gone [OMG SHE WAS STUPID!]

2. NO MINIGAMES!

3. Super sinchy

4. great music

so if you read a review that they say this game is stupid or boring
they

A. are mental B. never played a damn good game like this

Boring!! Rent don't Buy!!

I made the mistake of asking my husband to buy this game for me for Christmas. I did no research because I was basing my Spyro "wants" on previous games but I wish I had now. I beat this game in less than 7 hours and it was the same thing over and over. There was too many dragons talking, too many movie clips (which you can't get out of) and was just plain boring. I kept playing in the hopes that it would get better and more difficult, but was very disappointed when I beat Cynder the first time I tried. I wish it was like the first Spyro's in that there were many worlds (not 5) and there were other side activities to play. This one was the same all the way through. Beat the bad guys, collect NO gems or dragonflies, and once in a while get a new breath which you had training for.

This is a really fun game. But nothing beats the original Spyro game.

Okay...

This is an okay game, but WAY too easy and it takes way too much from the old Spyros. I mean, what happened to the days when Spyro was a simple character in a simple fantasy world with a loose plot? The first one was fantastic, and the other four were pretty good, too. This one was interesting, but if you're planning on playing it, rent it. It's really easy to beat.

Major Letdown but Pretty to Look At

It's interesting that this game depicts Spyro's beginnings because with THESE beginnings you'd expect Sypro to have been some kind of Jedi Knight by the time he made it to A Hero's Tale (or perhaps in therapy). In "Legend" Spyro is more like a ninja than the cool, sassy fun dragon whose biggest enemies are Gnorks and an Evil Neptune in drag. I gave up on the game after the second round of training for moves that would make the most dexterously agile 12 year old need AsperCream for his thumbs. Anyway, this is a really neat idea with beautiful graphics, but the whimsy-with-challenge charm that Spyro has previously had (super early games excepted because I haven't played them, so I don't know) is lost to a very dark and somewhat violent game that is dominated by the player being under basically constant and copious attack. It's really too bad, because it had a lot of promise, and I enjoyed the start of it the game.

It had ptential

this game had so much potential. excellent graphics, good sound, decent level environments, easy controls, new moves, interesting 'breaths'. but it was very short and very repetitive: the main enemies were one character throughout the entire game, they just changed costumes in each level [only about 6 levels, no portals], these main characters also made the same sounds throughout [a few different rivals are added due to the level you are in].
there are constant film sequences interrupting game play, some in which you can not skip.
and there is little to no reply value like the first 3 games in the series [for Playstation] and the level where you learn your new powers can not be passed by, this would be nice to skip if you have already beaten the game once.

>> note: no more portals here. if you want classic Spyro, your looking in the wrong place. this game was disappointing. fun for the first run through. [] suggested rent, before purchase. []
