Thanks Phantom. I'll step on it when I can. I have a youtube account, though. You'll know me as "Billspool" and I'm almost always on Legend of Spyro videos.

TLoS is what got me into Spyro in the first place. Spyro is just like Zelda ("the legend of" not included), which is a good thing. I never played the games of the old series (I was at first, embarrassed to tell anyone this), but I'm a fan and that's all that matters.

My friend is getting tired of Spyro too, but I don't think she hates it. How can you hate Spyro?! How can anyone hate Spyro? I admit, not all his games were brilliance, but overall even if you're not a gamer or Spyro fan, Spyro games are still a lot of fun for everyone. Even my dad, who is more into strategy games, first person shooters, and RPGs says he can appreciate the entertainment value of Spyro.

Let me tell you something. At the sierra forums 4 years ago, Spyro was considered for a retirement. If it weren't for this reinvention, this beloved series would have died just like othr popular series like Battletoads, Double Dragon, and Final Fight.
