Well I couldn't even hear him!!! He was murmuring SOOOOOO LOW!!! So what was Cynder's secret? That she worked 4 Malefor or something? Seriously, I couldn't hear a woord from him! Well, unless he spoke up or yelled or somethin.

Hey TurtleLover0403. You said that on SKylanders and Giants as well. Seriously though. You either woke up early or stayed up late, thats only a big deal if your 10. Get over it... If you wanna say something pointless then say it on your guestbook, not on 3 simultaneous topics. People have things called clocks so they don't need you to tell them the time. *period*

This game was good but, it could have been much better. Still my 3rd favorite Spyro game though.

TEN was good but it wasn't on X-box so I dad to get it on Wii which was really annoying! DotD and ANB were brilliant! I think Malefor's easy on Console though! I just dodge and do fury on Spyro, constantly switching when one gets low health and then playing as you can't damage the other character when its an NPC but it heals up, so I had Cynder on Regain Health and she gave Spyro health when he didn't have it and gained it when he did.
