I wish the controls were similar to the first 2.
When I play this and then one of those two and vise versa I always mix the controls up. xP

I don't think he's that bad either in Skylanders. Nothing to get all "SPYRO'S RUIIIIIIIIIIINED!!!!!! BAWWWW" about.

I play for the game too. His design isn't that bad in any of the games IMO but the gameplay is why I like it.. :l

Just in my opinion he looks better in all of LoS then Skylanders, but I mostly play for the game.
