Mediocre gameplay, an absolutely terrible excuse for a storyline, poor, shoddy waste of effort, with many overrated features like the two-player mode and dragon switching. Weak game.

And please, guys, don't use the comments system to chat. Make a topic on the Forum. It says it straight on top of the post box.

Yeah, te good thing with this game it appeals to girls alot more! I mean I loved spyro when it was just him but when I was watching the bit on youtube from ANB when Cynder rears up and knocks spyro over I was like:
"She's so amazing!"

Also, @TorchSheep the game is really good. I love the fact that I can fly and switch between Spyro and Cynder.

@TorchSheep Exactly. You're new here. So you don't know much, and don't have much room to make accusations. Feel free to look around on the forum, because for the last time, you are not suppose to be posting here. There's a forum for a reason.

@Cynderstar Because you always start it again. Also, you said it yourself that you don't want to drop it. That wasn't me talking. That was you.

Will you stop having a go at me, why is it always I have to drop it? If CAV was SO mature he would of dropped it long ago. For once, CAV, you have to apologise to me before I can apologise back.

@TorchSheep Ok, so Purple and Spyrorocks, the people that have been immature and started this entire thing by whining about me and Thunderdragon, are being the best people here, and instead, we're just being the dumb ones?

How does that work? I can obviously tell you're new here, since you obviously don't know anything about what's been going on.

@Spyrorocks I will repeat: Does it look like Cynderstar is dropping it?
