I long awaited this coveted game but I am dissapointed by the frustrating gameplay. The camera is all over the place and you cannot move the camera to where you want so you can actually see where you are going, half the time so far this game has behaved like a side scroll mario adventure...only entirely frustrating. They don't give you very good instructions either on how to do special moves. Esp that pendulum thing, they never said "you should hold down X" (PS2). So now im stuck trying to get this stupid door open that you have to collect 4 crystals for and im on the fourth one and I keep falling in this death hole where a wall of spikes squishes me with no explanation however on how to survive it. Ive been at this for 3 hours!!! FRUSTRATING! If it werent for the fact this was a Spyro game I would have resold this stupid game!

I CAN'T get Spyro/Cynder to swing up to catch the vines when Hunters says, "I'll wait for you up on the hill". Any advice on swinging? I already got Spyro's big Red crystal on the right
