I think it is better on Wii then DS but I only have it for those 2 things. I don't have an X Box so it could be better on that.

I liked Cynder's Shadow best (Fear was great too) and Spyro's Fire best (his Ice wasn't bad either).

All the elements are really fun though (:

In the DS version of DotD Spyro's eyes are blue... I was just playing it today on my DS and it is way better on console.
