Dotd.... Good sequel or a tad disappointing?

It's been more than 3 months since the game was released worldwide, so it's common that a lot of us have it now... Ummm, of course when I say 'a lot' I don't mean that I have it...yet.

So, what do you guys think? The best in the trilogy, the worst, or do you just hate the 'new' series?

OK...

i enjoyed it a lot...

I chose the first option.

When a game leaves me in awe after seeing the amount of detail put into the environment's designs, then it automatically gets on my favorites list, no questions asked.

After seeing my two favorite stages, Valley of Avalar and Floating Islands, there was no doubt the developers took the time to put effort into making the stages as great as they can be. Only a few other games have left me with this feeling (Okami, Donkey Kong Country 2, SMW 2: Yoshi's Island, and Silent Hill).

I also voted for the first option.

Once I saw the game in the previews, I thought it was amazing just from the graphics and worlds. But when I played it, I definitely saw how well put together this game was. Like Eddy said, the Valley of Avalar and the Floating Islands were awesomely put together too. I thought how the last level of Malefor's Fight was awesome too.

[spoiler] And then, with the ending, I really had no idea of what was going to happen, from Ignitus' death from the real world, to the conclusion to the game, it felt me speechless for the better part of the entire scene. It was like watching the climax of a movie unfold in the theaters! [/spoiler] SOADjoe19

*sigh*

Please, PLEASE put 'spoilers' when you are about to explain a story line event.... Thanks for ruining the story for me quite a lot :(

ooo.... its ok dude, there is still plenty more suprises to be had when you play the game! ;)

Did you ever get DOTD? cuz i dont remember seeing you play it on Live.

^ He still hasn't played it yet, I think...

As for the spoilers: *grabs a newspaper and smacks Joe's nose*

Bad Joe! BAD!

Don't worry, I fixed it to avoid others spoiling it for themselves. Sorry GANGSTANSA. Also you guys might want to avoid quoting potential spoilers. I had to edit it two more times after Joe's post, but it's okay.

Aw, GANGSTASAN. I'm so sorry dude. :cry: I didn't even think about putting the spoiler up there. *Uses time warp machine and pushes you in*

Ha! You know nothing now!!! hahaha
But seriously, sorry about that. :roll:
Its greta to see ya sputnick!!!!

 Warning contains spoilers!!!!!!!!

Well even though I chose the first one I do have two things that I want to criticise since I am STILL planning on getting a camera...maybe I will ask to get one today. Anyway the first thing was the downward wind gusts that pervented you from flying higher. First off how could downward winds be possible and for that matter that strong to keep a powerful dragon from flying? Secondly it gave me a sort of invisable maze in some sections of the game especially during the destroyer level where some objects on certain ledges could only be collected by a certain path. Also if anyone remembers getting to the top of the destroyer was kind of annoying since the wind gusts were in awkward positions.

The second thing that I want to criticise was the fact that the final boss battle didn't give me the epic feel I was looking for. During my fight with Malefor I remember that I dodged a couple of fireball, attacked him constantly while circleing around him, and watched out for his really powerful breath attack and basically I just repeated. Also I'm not sure you if anyone but me noticed this but the fight reminded me of another final boss battle. Compare the two:

Zone of enders 2 - anubis

Also I was kind of dissappointed by the fact that you had to use the normal fury to defeat Malefor while in the other two games you got a convexity breath (which was awsome when we first witnessed it you have to admit) and dark Spyro for the second game. I kind of didn't like the fact that I used the same thing which I used for really tough enemies before.

Please note that this is my opinion only so don't take it for fact and also I am looking at this from different points of view. And also besides those two points the game is entirly awsome and deserves a 9.5 from me. 

yeah... the winds did annoy me a bit :? i also aggree that the Malefore battle was a bit too easy.... but i love the parts in videogames where it slows into an almost-cutscene, and you have to press a certain button to make them do some cool actiony-stuff, which they did a lot in DOTD, so i was very satisfied. :P

Yeah, not that bad really. I've experienced things in games that made me want to either break the disc in half or throw the tv out the window. O___o

I'm glad I just break the disc in half....the game really wasn't worth it anyway. :lol:SOADjoe19

I do that in Rock Band sometimes when I play drums. If I fail a song, I feel like throwing my drum sticks at the TV.

I think "break so easily" might be an understatement:D. The other day mine decided to break itself; one minute i'm throwing enemies about the place, then the next, "controller disconnected", fix that only to find out my character is rapidly spinning on the spot like a complete spaz :x

XD

Yea, thank God that Sony made their PS2 controllers so durrible. I swear i must have thrown the controller (at least 7 times) at my concrete floor (while playing the Eternal Night) and it still works flawlesly. ;) if only the 360 was as strong as the PS2 controllers :roll:sputnick2006

PS2 Controllers durable?

Hell, I try to keep my best at taking care of them... And I got about 3 broken. Lol
