Difficulty:: Very Hard
Time Spent:: 10 to 20 Hours
The Bottom Line:: "Broken"

I disliked this game for a few reasons. For one it is waaaaay too difficult, and I'm getting sick of these repetitive boring attacks and pointless new abilities. The setting in the game is too dark, would it have killed them to put in at least one bright level? The gameplay is too linear and there is not enough platforming. The boss fights are boring and in general the whole game is frustrating, I mean it's supposed to be a kids game for pete's sake! And I don't think that kids will be too into this one. The graphics are pretty good, the cutscenes are well put together, and the acting is well done, but an ok presentation won't make up for the tedious and annoying gameplay from ruining the game.

The diehard Spyro fans won't like it and neither will you even if you did like "A New Beginning". I just want them to have a Spyro game as good as the original three, is that so much to ask for? Don't buy this game, don't even rent it. Just complain, complain, complain, and maybe then Sierra Entertainment and Krome Studios will get it right. I just hope that "Dawn Of The Dragon" is better than this piece of garbage.
