I loved this game, but the quality was really poor on my TV, we are getting a new one, though.

... But of course, let's not forget the good points. I don't want to seem negative and rude.

The combat system is pretty good, though CAN be repetitive, depending on the player.
The elements. The elements are very good and fun.
The graphics are cool, for those who care about them.
There's always the characters, for people who like the characters, design and such wise.
There's the fun parts in the levels, and challenge and good cheats.
Aaaaaand there's fairly easy controls.

Probably forgetting something...

I agree that it was predictable but I still loved the ending. (The creators probably just wanted to end it)

That's what I gathered too, the most simple way to put it.
... So predictable...

I think with the ending, Spyro and Cynder saved the world, and after they did that, they had no chains on em and they live happily in love in The Valley Of Avalar smilie
