I love the free fly in the game soooo awesome the best game ever done in spyro but why dont they keep the story going or something that could have been a really nice long story whats with Skylanders it makes absolutely no sense in the totally wrong direction for a spyro game by the way Cyder is the best and always will be i love cyder!

I really liked this game, I liked the 2-player theme and the gameplay was really good. Storyline wise, it was kind of weird but I liked it, even though I found Cynder annoying and whiney smilie If her powers weren't so helpful I would have smashed into the screen and choked her smilie But hehe, that's just me.
All in all, I really liked the game. A good conclusion to the Spyro trilogy smilie
