Dragon City was a massive pain in the arse, yeah.
Burned Lands was the hardest level for me.

This one is my favorite game out of them all. The Skylanders are kewlio and all, but they're just too...different. They created too many new characters and mostly left out Spyro and Cynder. I kinda think its a little stupid.

Okay, thanks. I was referring to the original series to the legend series. I was kind of hoping there would be a story, but oh well... Thanks for the information! smilie

@rfishi
If you mean from the Classics to the TLOS series then no because it was a complete reboot of the Spyro name. However if you're talking about the TLOS series itself then he aged considerably between The Eternal Night and Dawn of the Dragon. smilie

Is there a story behind how spyro became an adult, or did it just happen in A New Beginning?

Isn't it also a bit strange that these later games were for the PS2?
