I have the PS2 version. I still find it almost breathtaking. The lighting makes Avalar seem almost God like.
I think that if they could swim would have been a cool feature to add...

I think I'm a PS2 gamer all the way. Though now they have released the PS3; which I can't afford, if any new games are released I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that they release it for wii; my only back up console. :'(
The valley of avalar was absolutley fantastic! I just loved the graphics and the music it made me feel so strange. I felt almost pride when Spyro and Cynder flew accross the valley.

Why did they get rid of the TLOS storyline for Skylander? It was so emotional and gave a lovely, involving story.
:') Loved this game. Spyro has literally influenced my entire childhood. I used to pretend and wish I was him. Still do now.... smilie

My favourite glitch is getting stuck in the big tree in Valley of Avalar, then watching Spyro do a 'superman'. I LOL every time :3333 (PM me if you want to know how to do it)

I don't think it's a glitch, I personally like it. Notice it goes with what hes saying? "I did all the work?"

@purple I did once. When sparx talks in one of the cutscenes (I think it was in the cave where you find Medow) his face had a glitch and his eyes were floating at the side of him... smilie It was funny though.
