I cant believe gamespot gave this game a 5.0, I wouldve given it at least a 6.5 or something. I mean, the reviewer talks about the levels being so unthoughtful...what? How? I thought they were fine to me. They were meant to be vast, and you were meant to explore. And I have the PS2 version, thats not the version w/ all the pretty graphics either. But I DO agree that the level where you fly around the golem thing was pretty frustrating, even w/ 2 player but still, I found it quite an enjoyable game. (my favorite level is dragon city, and I beat the game in all the languages it offers) And he talks about the plot being so similar to this and this....so? There are so many movies and games and shows that are so similar to eachother and leach off one another, who cares anymore? Its really hard to find something w/ an original plot nowadays you know? (and I mean REALLY original, not something kinda similar to something else) I could care less at this point if it supported online play or not, the fact that another player can join in still surprised me and its better than nothing. oh theres so much I want to say omg! This game is awesome though and definitely worth the money! If only it was longer though. :/

Dudes,
since it shoes Spyro & Cynder in the end flying around. R they in heaven with God or did they escape the explosion and live. If they're with God they will be on the new earth that he makes. (PS:A legend is someone of something that dies as or hero, or they want us to think he's dead, (hopefully the 2nd one)
