xxxspyroxxx, I think you didn't fight baddies very much, because if you did, then it is impossible to beat the game in one hour.

Me, I got this on Xbox 360, and I got 1000 gamer points. Not joking. Meaning I beat the whole thing. All health gems, breath gems, spirit gems, armor, and all of Spyro's and Cynder's breaths have been upgraded! I am not kidding.

This is my fav out of all the Spyro games, in fact, after beating it 100% on the Wii, I went and got it for the Xbox360, and Im currently 98% on that (cant fined 1 stinken blue crystal on the Floating Island level, and I don't want to defeat Mal***or until I fined It!).
