Spyro was able to do fury in anb and ten, so yeah, he shouldn't need armour to do it in dotd. smilie If anything, now that he's older he should be better at uing fury. Anyway, I really enjoyed playing it on ps2!!! smilie I really like those warrior dragons, the ones with blue bodies and red heads.
smilie Spyyyyyyyyyroooooo!!! smilie Yay!!

It is growing on me. But only because the elements are cool and the levels are pretty. The script is... awful.
