    It is better than enter the dragon fly but not by much. This game is glitchy and bland. There are some good qualities about this game but the cons are much more bigger than the pros.

    This game is decent. I couldn't care lesss about its story but the graphic design is very unique. There is a mystic, dark, fantasy vibe in every level. And the gameplay is also good except there is a bit too much fighting but finally a 3D platform game that is not easy (coming after Jak 3 and R&C GC).

    I enjoy the new story and new abilities. I truly love how the start starts off where the first game left off. The new enemies and Allies are a nice touch

    This one felt like it should've been DLC for the first one (if they had come out on PS3 and Xbox 360). This game isn't bad, it feels a lot like the first Legend game, but the first one had some pretty colorful levels, or at least better colors than this one. This one was mostly just filler. It did have some important elements to it, like you wouldn't get everything in the 3rd game, if youThis one felt like it should've been DLC for the first one (if they had come out on PS3 and Xbox 360).

    i like the combat, exploration, bosses and all that, the atmosphere is really dark and edgy which i didn't mind as this was my first introduction into something like that, i really enjoyed this game way back and i still like playing it, the game is hard and challenged me way back, and still somewhat now, it's a difficult game, but it's certainly doable and rewarding when you beat ai like the combat, exploration, bosses and all that, the atmosphere is really dark and edgy which i didn't mind as this was my first introduction into something like that, i really enjoyed this game way back and i still like playing it, the game is hard and challenged me way back, and still somewhat now, it's a difficult game, but it's certainly doable and rewarding when you beat a difficult boss. Voice acting is alright and i think the creature design is solid, the areas you visit i remember well, overall i would recomend this to people that don't like the darker aproach to spyro and want something on the more difficult side, though there are certainly better dark, difficult games out there like a certain game everyone wants to compare everything to. I think the music is great and fits the mood of every area, great ost for this one overall. I haven't played the first of the legend of spyro trilogy, but i have played some of the third, i dropped that after a bit but i plan to get back to that and i'll probably play the first one at some point, that one doesn't seem as dark, a bit more varied in light and dark tones seems like. I like this game.… Expand

    Spyro's gameplay works just like it's suppose to--just like it has in every other game in the last decade, so it feels like the development team just phoned this one in. [Nov 2007, p.142]

    A solid platformer with some nice visuals and simple but enjoyable gameplay. It doesn't have any huge, glaring deficiencies to speak of, but at the same time, it's simply not cut from the sort of stock that makes a classic.

    What Insomniac began Krome have now made completely their own, taking Spyro from a lighthearted adventure to a hardcore dark platformer. [Nov 2007, p.56]
