The ps2 is the exact same with those shiny graphics, although I don't think I ever noticed spyro looked pink... In caves anyway, spyro looks more pink during the night as far as I saw.

I have it for Wii and it is really bright. Mostly in Avalar Spyro and Cynder are so shiny and Spyro almost looks pink in the caves.

Same.
This game is for quite a few consoles, I heard mixed reviews for all of them.

I played a little of the DS version on a ROM, it's not that bad but I do agree so far I like the console better.

Ya the DS version was short. You don't even get to go to Avalar or fight the Golem. Well you get to fight a different earth golem but I like the console better.

Really? It must have been really short then.
