Just going to pop in and say, the definition of "overrated" means something that is rated too highly/has too many fans it doesn't deserve. Therefore it is fully up to opinion whether something is overrated or not.

@cynders_awsome, you're pretty awesome for not flipping out at DragonDog for having a different opinion. I respect that.

This game is fully awesome! When I got it and played it for the first time, I got hooked to the minute to this cool game!
I was so relieved when I noticed this game has two players mode - finally I can play with someone else who likes dragons! I was always Spyro as my best friend wanted to play as Cynder.
I like the game's idea: nice, long levels where you'll have to figure out where to go and what to do next. The best thing is of course flying and having lots of combos and mana breaths. It's still kinda funny that Cynder has better breaths (they have special effects with enemies) than Spyro (Spyro's breaths are powerful in some cases). Anyway: this my favorite Spyro game ever and I'm never gonna let anybody have my DotD game! smilie
