But the review was incredibly harsh on previous Spyros, I don't think they were THAT bad.

Off topicness: Has anyone played Crash Twinsanity? Here's spyro in it, I'm not sure if you've seen it already.

I love that review. I'm buying this game. Thanks Mbags and Gnasty for that find! Now I'm waiting for all the internet to review this game, then I'll be satisfied.

I have played almost every spyro game there is. I own all the classics. every time I played a new game I wished to know about Spyros past. If anyone has the instructions booklet on the last page there is a dragon that looks like spyros father. I wonder if hell show up finally. one thing I am disapointed over is that spyro and ember didnt ever get into the anticapated scene where ember chases after spyro. But this games looks great!

Very nice, like I said before it's good to see a positive review for a new Spyro game at long last. smilie

I hope that Sparks spelling is just a typo though. smilie

Yo, Mbag4life, thankyou soooo much for pointing out the first review! smilie. I bought that issue of Play Magazine, and sure enough the review gave TLOSANB an 8.5 out of 10. Thats just awesome! The reviewers rly praised the fact that the game is a breath of fresh air for the franchise, and that it doesn't look like its aimed at toddlers anymore (AHT=too many bright colors XP). Now I just gotta see if ign, PSM and gamespot like it as much. Also, the review mentions that spyro has to rescue his imprisoned ancestors, so I guess Ignitus isn't the only dragon elder in the game smilie.

Still not convinced, read the article for yourself

smilie Like I said fearthehorns, it's interesting if it's true (I'm sure it probably is but I don't buy any magazines myself) and it's nice to know that the game got a positive review.

I posted a link to that comic for a reason but not to say you were lying, if you want to tell us about things then fine that's great, just don't pretend to be something you're not. Maybe this one is a little more appropriate (as the other one seems to suggest you made up a false review which isn't quite what I meant). But whatever.

But still, interesting if true.

OMG! I just got my issue of PLAY magazine in the mail and they reviewed Spyro...they gave it an 8.5 out of 10!!!

I don't have a scanner so I can't post it for you, but its a great review. It's 2 pages and super positive about the game. I can't wait until next month to play it. Does anyone else get PLAY magazine?
