Malefor0001... u r entitled 2 ur opinion. But charging was never really a good attack. you could hardly turn when u charged. im not saying that i didnt like it. Besides they still have the horn dive. That was pretty awsoem.

I guess now I should say it here because I do Not Want a Flame War.
I didn't like this game. I don't want arguments here, butr my Opinion is that it's not good enough. Good Graphics, yes. But the flying wasn't too impressive and I perfered the Glding ability, also charging was ridden of.
THis is just my opinion. No arguments please!

The Krome formula was better, but Dawn of the Dragon is okay, nonetheless. It's just way too lose and the enemies take way too many hits to kill. Hopefully Spyro continues with this universe.

I agree with Fasuhn. People seem to love this game only because Cynder is a main character. They will like any Spyro games as long as Cynder is a main character. Everything is now, "Spyro and Cynder", not just "Spyro" or "Spyro and Sparx". It's so annoying, because Cynder is slowly taking over, and brainwashing the younger kids. She's already replaced Sparx, in DOTD. It won't be long before she has her own game. >.<

They also like it only because of the free flight, which wasn't even all that good. I mean, what's so great about flying a couple of inches above the ground!? You should be able to fly up so high you can see the whole world when you look down, like in the first three Spyro games, and you shouldn't have anything that drags you down. Also, Spyro should fall too his death if you fly too low, because it adds difficulty to the game.
