Finally, there is a Spyro game that is as fun as the original trilogy. When Spyro moved onto PS2, we saw the downfall with Enter the dragonfly and hero's tail (I hated a hero's tail). But this game is extremely fun, with great adventures, great voice cast. This game gets 5 stars from me!

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

I loved this game. It has a lot of action and it is sort of hard. It started of easy and it ended hard. I liked the story and the fury moves - those were awesome.

Spyro A New Beginning

When I first got this game, I was amazed, the graphics and sound are fabulous compared to the old Spyro games. Although this game is very short, it took me only a few hours to beat it, it is much better then the old Spyro games. In the old games, it only took one hit to kill every monster other then bosses and it was long and dull, in this game, staying alive is much more of a challenge.
Some things that Spyro fans may be pleased to know is that Spyro has four basic breath attacks of Fire, Ice, Lighting, and Earth. He also has missle attacks... and best yet, he can actually FLY. Unfortunatley, it doesn't allow Spyro to fly all the time.
Overall, I was dissapointed at the shortness of this game, but other then that it was great. It seems that whoever makes these games is making them shorter and shorter so that they don't have to put much effort into it. Seriously, look at the length of the Playstation One games, not just Spyro but other things like Digimon World 2... and now the new games are so short. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy game that came out is even shorter then this one.

Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning.........

I've been a fan of the little purple dragon that could ever since his very first adventure on the Playstation1. Practically collecting every last game at some point, I've seen the ups and downs of the series. My favorite games, of course, being the Gameboy Advance Spyro games by Digital Eclipse(aka Backbone Entertainment) for the matter that I just couldn't get into the 3-D games too much for some reason. Yet, I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised with Krome's take on Spyro(Krome, if any of you know platformers, are the creators of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger). It's great to see us doing something more than just going on a collect-a-thon with Spyro of some kind. I think Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is a great game. It looks, absolutely, gorgeous. Elijah Wood(Lord of the Rings Trilogy), David Spade(Joe Dirt), and Gary Oldman(Bram Stokers' Dracula) all do voices for Spyro, Sparx, and Ignitus in the game.

The only thing I see wrong with the game is that the game is a bit short. Krome may have made it that way so gamers wouldn't get bored with fighting wave after wave of baddies in a long drawn out game.

People will probably not like the game too much for the simple fact that it isn't like any of the previous games yet, sometimes, you got to shake things up a little to bring a series back to its' former glory.

At any rate, I still think Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning was worth it in the end. Hopefully, Vivendi & Sierra will keep Krome on as the new Developers for the series. In my opinion, I think the company has what it takes to bring the series back to greatness.

An OK Spyro Game

I have been playing Spyro since I was 5. Now that I'm 8,
I've been playing Spyro for a long time. The Legend of
Spyro A New Beginning is very fun, but one thing is that
it is a little hard for me. The part I am stuck on is when
you have to save the 4th elder and fight the train the 4th time.
My favorite part of the game is when you're in the Plains.
First I was stuck in the Ice place, when you had to knock
down the big tower and also fight all those dead fighters--"Yuck!"
Anyway, I couldn't get passed there without my friend. He's
really good! In the next Spyro game they make, I hope it will be
a little easer.

THIS IS FUN, DO RENT IT, BUT DON'T BUY IT!

My son has been playing Spyro games since he could hold a controller. He is 7 now. And we jumped up and down with excitement when Santa brought us this new game. We had fun when we started, and I loved watching the story and playing the little bit that I do....but by December 28th, he had completed it. What a disappointment! For the expense of the game, we would have rather asked for something that we could have played for at least a week. It is sort of a bummer for Christmas to be over so fast.
We loved it... but it is not, not, not worth buying.....go rent it.

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
