On the back of the case for DS it says "Soar through new flying levels." It means the short time you are flying to the Dragon City (you fly right over Avalar), and to kill the Destroyer and Malefor.

In my opinion the DS version was harder and they cut alot out of it, like the Valley of Avalar.

@Shadowskylander
The console version was much better, but in my opinion, the DS version was pretty good, and it had a lot of replay value.
