@purple
I did that! smilie I made a parody of 'walking through the air' for Spyro. I think glitches make the game cooler! That way you can explore the game from a different angle. smilie

I hate it when you are carrying an orb up somewhere and then an enemy hits you and it makes you drop it.

I personaly like this spyro design the best.

#9393 LevanJess 00:59:37 30/11/2011
Oh, you mean his design?
Spyro's DotD design is quite different from ANB-TEN and Classics, isn't it?
I personally didn't like it much, though.

i just noticed that spyros face is totally different. i know it was three years and all but its like, ummm, really different, ya know?

#9391 LevanJess 00:33:09 29/11/2011
LoS was alright, in my opinion. It was decently fun, and the elements and combos you could make in the gameplay made it better (I liked ANB and TEN more). It's a nice time waster. c:

Don't care much for it in other aspects besides gameplay.
