what happened to malefor was kinda weird, ya know the purple dragon ghosts taking him? well it said on Hex's profile that she went to battle him in the underworld. does that mean malefor was dead at the end of this game or when Hex beat him? i dont think you can die twice.

So many people love this game, too.
From what I've seen, more people love this game than hate it.

guys this was THE END of TLoS series but the original series might have another game due to how well skylander's is selling! I want all the spyro games the first one I played (the only one I currently have) is TLoS TEN I got addicted fast and completed the main story fast too then I searched random google stuff (IIRC) on spyro and found this site and now I'm here typing this

I really like how you openly expressed your opinion on this game on the page which has tons of fans of it.
No, that's not sarcastic, I really do think that's a cool thing to do.

And this is my least favorite Spyro game as well, but it's still okay, in my opinion, but certainly not the best.

I can't express how bad this game was. It was nothing but a bad god of war ripoff. With the "epicness", the leveling up and gems, the combat, the button sequences, and the level design. Not to mention the characters have no real personalities. Spyro: emo teen dragon. Cynder: emo teen dragon. Sparx: annoying useless fairy that does nothing but annoy people. Hunter: that THING is not Hunter. What do people see in this game? The combat system is garbage, the storyline is corny, and the gameplay is boring and repetitive. The first two LOS games were bad, but they look like year of the dragon compared to this.
