I love this game, because you get to actually play another dragon besides Spyro, Cynder. Shes alot prettier in this game too, because shes older, and Spyro is pretty handsome...for Dragon standards I suppose smilie I haven't beat it yet, I have a hard time beating the giant Golem beasties...but this game is pretty easy to get sucked into once you start playing, and get the hang of it. The music is fabulous too...I'm under the impression that the developers tried a little too hard to make the Legend of Spyro trilogy too much like Lord of the Rings though...not that thats a bad thing, its just a little strange...
