I LOVE this game. The PS2 version is fun. Even though I've already beat it twice, the game NEVER gets old.

@cynder fan47,
I unfortunately don't have one one. But my friend does, although I a, sure you are getting confused with PS because PS2 games never work on PS3, but all PS games do.

I loved the first game, as it was a simple plot line, which kind of reminded me of spyro the dragon (original game) as you had to free the dragons in that game as well. the level designs were HUGE which I really liked. The second game I didn't enjoy as much as the first, but the cut scene where the chronicler explained malefor's story was marvelous and the Ending was spectacular. I liked this game, but I was hoping for something very different.
