The dragon city Warfang is a beautiful place. I agree that there should have been more to the level. They should have let us go through the entire city.

I wish we could've seen more of the Dragon City..
That level to me seems like it would be the most fun level to seriously explore and roam around in..

It's actually rare to find this game at GameStop. I've only seen it once there. eBay is where I bought my ps2-3 ones. However, the ps2 one is rare and can go up to $100. D: however, if you get it on eBay and if you find it at GS, you'll get it a lot cheaper.

I thought Activision's first Spyro game was Skylanders?
