I can only get it on Wii.
I know the graphics or a little bit worse on ps2, but I wouyld personally get it on that (i do have the game on that platform) because the controls are easy and reliable compared to the wii...
And also I'm getting it shiped.
I only have a PS2, a Wii, a DS, and a GBA.
Plus, it's the second easiset to get scratched, trust me I have it for wii and ps2, the two worst versions. SuperSpyroFan was right about the controls, beleive me, it takes you moderatley longer to play and complete levbels then on other systems, its quite dissapointing...
@AMW1998: That is probably the worst system that you could get it for, I've heard that it's the worst for the controls in that version, apparently, they are very unreliable.
I'm getting this game for wii. 
@A7XSparx: I am so sorry, waht I put there was so mean! I love your drawings and your really good. I am good and drawing them in proper style but I didnt mean for it too come across so harshly. And no, I do not have an art account... :'(
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i probably wouldent like this game as much as i do if i hadent been such a baka and played DOTD before completing ANB or TEN I had gotten stuck on them so i skiped to DOTD
@Cynderstar12
I guess so. And no, I'm not offended. 
My art is meant to be comical, and I do love to draw them funny looking. But I CAN draw Spyro and Cynder the way they properly look, I just choose not to, because I like how I designed them myself. Do you have an art account? If so I'd like to see how you draw for myself. 
@LevanJess
Oh yes, I've seen that picture before. Even there, you can see peple hating on her just because she likes Ember more than Cynder. Ember wasn't a deep character, but if they would have went more into her character, I'm sure they would've come up with a good backstory. Peple say they can "relate" to Cynder's past. HOW?? You're saying that once, YOU were possessed and turned into a giant evil dragon that basically set the world on fire?? Uh nope.

A7XSparx: Im not gonna start a rant, but I think Chrisitne Ricci is good for Cynder, shes better then any of the others who had done her voice previously. I don't want to be harsh, you style of drawing is really good for that style of drawing, and if its mean't to be comical then great, but in all honesty, I don't really like it to much, I think I can draw proer Cynder and Spyro MUCH better......
@A7XSparx
my god, that is awesome. xD i like your art :D
ThisCrispyKat? i never heard of them. i'll have to look them up though! :P
here's the link to that one picture: WAHPAH
reciting words of hitler? "if you don't think cynder can beat ember, then it seems like some people need to die in this world"? HAHA HOLD ON LAUGHING FOREVER . but seriously though, you're right, that IS WAY over the top. i'm going to check out their art gallery now xP

@Cynderstar12
Elijah Wood did want to folow the series through.
LOL I hate how Christina Ricci voiced Cynder, she was over-reacting the whole time. I did reseach on her and it doesn't seem like she's the "amazing" type. But hey, it's your opinion, so I won't get all over you for that.
@LevanJess
Here's the pic I drew (hopefully it works here) http://browse.deviantart.com/?...set=24#/d3cyf9r I have many more, but I won't give the links to all. You can just search them up.
There you were talking about ThisCrispyKat, and she always loves bashing Cynder.
I liked the pic, but some people got so mad they started reciting words of Hitler, and that was just going WAY over the top. "If you don't think Cynder can beat Ember, then it feels like some people need to die in this world". That is SO over the top!! I couldn't believe what they were saying!

@A7XSparx: You don't know if Elijah Wood likes doing the voice of Spyro.. it could be for the money he gets paid, or the fact you could be right and he wanted to see it through.
Out of all the people who have voiced Cynder, my favourite is Christina Ricci. She is an amazing actress and she suits Cynder perfectly.
