LoS means the Legend of Spyro series. So far DotD is my favorite from LoS.

I agree with you..
I tihkn one reason people dislike it is because it's not LoS, which is not a valid reason to hate a game.

I like using cynders shadow to hit enemy's in the air then grab them, and start spinning them around while clawing them in air, and finally cynder throws the enemy on the ground and slams them! So fun!! smilie
