I hope at the begining of the game you still have all your elements! I hate having to get them all over again!

To Spyrothedragon: Can you please just STOP with the spam?

We all know that Spyro reminds you of you.

DotD hasn't even come out yet! STOP saying that you know the ending.

STOP saying that Cynder will die! The game is co-op and non-linear. How can you go back and replay the levels if Cynder dies?

None of us know what the next Spyro game is going to be called.

I know that you and SpyroDragon are having a conversation, but the comments page is not the place for that. Dark52 even asked you to continue your conversation somewhere else!

I know I could have probably said this in a nicer way, buy I'm really ticked off right now. Forgive me if I'm being mean.

To Spyro and anyone else who wants to download a gameplay vid: find the video online, copy the url, go to ZamZar.com, and follow the easy step by step guide lines on how to convert a video. It will ask for an e- mail address and it will e-mail the converted video to you.

Maybe Ripto might have a castle in the sky like the chunks of land but he and Malefor never meet and only atlk about eachover.

Yh. I agree hunter wont be scared! he's braver now!
