Okay, so free flight, I read you can only do ten meters at a time. Is it kind of like the superfly powerup without having to walk through a gate, or is it unlimited? And if it is only 10 meters at a time, do they force you into down time afterward or what?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the co-op. Missed the last game because it didn't interest me as much as this one is right now. I'm so buying this! I hope there's more gameplay than cutscenes here, and a longer game in general.

Yeah, I'm now accepting the fact that Cynder should be playable. 2 players is something that Zelda doesn't have (you only play as Link). Still, I hope for another Spyro-only adventure as well.
