I didn't see why he had to be reminded of it either, I guess it's just because of the people who only played DotD.

#9869 spyro_cynder88 21:32:46 05/02/2012

I agree. In the first 2 LoS games he did have those elements.

#9868 foxishsolitude 20:45:37 05/02/2012

which is strange for spyro cos youd think hed already.. like know. o.o

#9867 spyro_cynder88 16:44:08 05/02/2012

No that was in the Catacombs, and I think the Chronicler told them what their elements were.

#9866 camo19 09:56:51 05/02/2012

that is where initus tells spyro and cynder what elemental types they were?

#9865 Gem-A-Knight 08:47:17 05/02/2012

Yeah, I was amazed at the graphics for Dotd on ps2, especially in Alavar valley, the graphics were REALLY shiny then.

#9864 camo19 07:38:29 05/02/2012

very true

#9863 Clementina 07:14:05 05/02/2012

Love this game, if just for the fact that's it's a 2-player. I can share my favorite game series with a friend! <3 Thought the dialogue was a little corny (sometimes humorous), and whenever I see Sparx now, I think of Let's Make a Deal (lol) But who really cares? xD I love Sparx, and Wayne Bady's cool too. And I don't know why people are complaining about the graphics Spyro's come a long way since 1998...

#9862 foxishsolitude 04:10:27 05/02/2012

yeah ikr?? i <3 ps2

#9860 ZachHD 01:57:08 05/02/2012

I have a PlayStation 2 and when i play DOTD in my opionion, i think the graphics including the light bright/shining, is so fab, its outstanding quality of graphics

#9859 Trix Master 100 01:30:25 05/02/2012

@foxishsolitude What is exactly a guestbook?

#9858 camo19 21:59:04 04/02/2012

i certainly hadn't done so.i just hadn't been bothered

#9857 Gem-A-Knight 19:54:45 04/02/2012

I don't think I ever noticed his eyes were purple, lol

#9856 spyro_cynder88 19:47:20 04/02/2012

I was just playing the DS one today and it made me realize how much better the console version is. And in the DS version I realized that Spyro's eyes are blue, not purple.
