To me Sparx was a little bit annoying in this game because he just flies around complaining and mumbling about whatever. That is just my opinion.

I prefer old Hunter too, I just like his personality better... This Hunter needs to lighten up a bit.
This Hunter's okay, though, I wish we saw more of him.

As for Sparx, I liked him in LoS, but I do agree that he can be annoying sometimes and unfunny.

I personally didn't find Sparx real funny, I thought he was just plain annoying (I still like him, though). But that's just my opinion.
I think Hunter's better as the comedy relief, not the extremely boring and serious dude.

When Spyro gets a message in TLoS 2 from Hunter, I was like: "OMG, that's Hunter! " And then after the Credits I was again like "OMG, that's Hunter!"
And then in this games start I was again like "OMG, that's Hunter!" smilie

In my opinion Hunter is better in this game. It's better when Hunter is wise and serious and Sparx is the funny guy. smilie

That's true about the it suits LoS better thing.
I kind of just prefer older Hunter, he was funnier, This Hunter's okay. In my opinion of course.

No i like the new Hunter, hes more Older/Responsible, not thinkin everythinks a joke n it suites TLOS cause the series is serious and with a jokey Hunter, it will clash in a way,,, and random message but do you knw at the begining of DOFD dont you think when Sparx takes the mickey out of him saying "Your making too much noise", i fort that was ded funny, didnt u smilie
