Guys, this is SIMPLY the original game. There is NOTHING new or improved. It is ripped DIRECTLY from the most recent run of the game (Greatest Hits).

I was just about to email you this too...

What... The... Helll
What are they thinking when they're doing that?
Do they think they can borrow the sadness of having to wait so long for real news just reviving some "so beloved yet old" games they've alreadyforgot and put it in hands for "Classic Series" to people to download? Come on!

Dude.
WAY MORE PEOPLE LOVE THE OLD SPYRO'S MUCH MORE THAN THE NEW.
There probably won't be a new one for a while also due to the movie...

Nothing special whatsoever.

Now, when they fix the friggin' graphics, I'll buy it (and the other two), but otherwise, it's simply a waste of money.

Wow. I thought you liked those series and preferred it to TLOS. Well, most games have their differences, like some games have bad graphics, but the gameplay is good, and some games have good graphics, but gameplay, not so much on that. We should learn to accept these differences.

Hm. Nice but don't you think it would be even better if they made the original trilogy for say the PS2 and PS3 with original gameplay, voice actors, character models and so forth but new and improved graphics? That would get Spyro back on track, don't ya think?

Oh great there's a guy that loves games that are older than he is. I just thought it was awesome how kids nowadays love the Spyro series whom are younger than the original game itself. It proves that the Spyro game has come a very long way since it has first came out.

I've heard british people say it before. Like the marksman guy from "the league of extraordinary gentlemen" and I think eddsworld did at some point.
But that is besides my point. What about the whole "this is the best Spyro game ever" thing?

Thats actually one of those intereting topics. I've played Eternal night and I assumed it was alot like its predicessor (I don't know how to spell it but I mean that I have never played New Beginning for PS2 but instead for DS). Sure the games had elements like horn dive, gliding, charging, and fire breathing, But it lacked the platform, adventure, minigames etc, that made the previous games great. (But you have to admit, The story line of the TLoS games has caused an uprising in Fan dragons such as Violet, Gaiax, Shimmer, IceFlame, Stella, etc)

Yeah... I think it could have been Spyro's Lair that started that, with the whole create your own Dragon people were probabaly thinking they could go and make there own story with these Dragons that they made and stuff... But yeah, I get what you mean about the thing for TEN... Also, ANB and TEN are edsactly the same, the only difference in TEN is Dragon time...

I KNEW IT!... Whatever happened to Dragon time anyway?... You should bring that up in your abridged series!

Also I don't know if Lair has caused this. The fan dragons I listed are to complex for one website to cause. Violet for example is a hit among Fan dragon creators such as myself and even has become so widely known she has haters (Don't act like I don't know who you guys are, I've seen the forum here and hate deviations)

Dragon Time was removed for 2 reasons... One story wise, another development wise...

Story wise: The Chronicler only taught Dragon time to Spyro so he could save himself, Cynder and Sparx from the collapsing mountain (He can tell the future!) and when he used the Time Fury he lost all his Dragon time powers...

Development Wise: It wouldn't be fair on player 2 smilie
