To Spyro Luva,

Yes that scene is in the Wii version. Is it not on the PS2 version? If not, then that's just plain strange? You might want to get the Wii version after all.

To MIles tails: I don't think that the dark master is on the cover. He is a purple dragon and the creature on the cover is not even purple or looks like a dragon.

You're right, I can't get on either as a newer or old dragon. (old being before the changes to the generator). Hopefully they are upgrading the site. Were you able to get onto the site when they changed the dragon generator?

And yet I wonder... HEY!! maybe thats the dark master on the cover!!! I know he may have been a dragon but maybe all those years in the darkness may have even changed his own look!! not only is hee on the cover but I also see him as the only boss shown on the lair and so that pretty much sums it up!
