Very Buggy. Very simple. Camera is a Nightmare

User Rating: 5.5 | The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon PS3
Spyro makes his appearance on the PS3 and you know what....it could have been a lot better.

First let's start off with the storyline. I'm lost as to what happened on the previous game, so for me, I was a little confused as to what was going on. You find yourself trapped in some castle and you get rescued by a wold dude called Hunter. You fight your way through a few levels to reach the Big Dragon dude at the end.

The Story isn't really anything new. The Graphics was actually quite good. Very colorful and vibrant. The only thing is, sometimes, it can get a little too colorful. You loose track of where you are on the stage and you suddenly find yourself fighting nothing but air when the plasma smoke goes away.

The Camera is another thing that is totally a let down on this game. You are extremely restricted in terms of camera movement, sometimes being stuck with a 3 degree angle at which you can change it. Very Frustrating especially if you want to find all those power crystals and things.

The acting isn't actually to bad with voices from actors like Elijah Wood, how can it go wrong?

There are a lot of bugs in the game. Like you would suddenly not be able to walk because of a pixel big grass strand in your way. The stages seem to go on for ever, but you find yourself flying into an invisible wall. Sometimes you would die and the game would just go on. Flying isn't the most awesome thing either. Clearly a pre-set path has been set up. So you don't really have the freedom to fly where you want to.

Spyro was a bit of a let down for me. With the price of the game, I would expect more stages and better development. Guess this is just one for the fans.
