They did. smilie They made her look too skinny and her proportions were horrible.
As for Spyro, they reduced his colors to only purple, yellow and orange, when he should have been purple, yellow, gold, and melon-red, with light-purple spots on his back. He also looks too old and mature for only three years later. If he's eleven in TEN and fourteen in DotD...shouldn't he look the same, but TALLER? smilie

the music in the level where you have to get hunter out of the cave, Has the most beutiful music on it. That is also my favorite level because it is the most realistic!

I liked the game, I didn't love it like the last two...
I just thought they changed the way Spyro and Cynder looked too much, they looked way too mature for only three years later. How do you AGE in a frozen crystal anyway? And Cynder was too much of a Mary-Sue. It was annoying.

Gameplay wise, it was AWESOME. I loved pounding people to the ground and going insane on them. And playing co-op with my cousin was fun...we'd annoy each other the whole time. The graphics were really nice too.
7/10 smilie

Ive descovered a secret from the malefor battle.


If you fly up to him and hit his back gems will come out of his back and go to you. Another thing STAY behind him and use your lightning breath, that is the one that causes the most damage. after about a minute, you should have killed him.

Another thing switch between cynder and spyro to go to him if you dont, you wont have a good chance of staying alive long enough to kill him.

when you switch to cynder, use poison or the red soundwave thing. Those two breaths do the most damage.


Hope this helps you!!!
