And I thought The Legend of Spyro was bad. This one makes Enter The Dragonfly look like one of Spyro's best games ever.
Spyro's entire roll in this game:
Okay, WTF? What is that thing, WTF? Anyway... that is not Spyro. I'm not saying it to be offensive, it really isn't Spyro. It is the furthest thing away from Spyro and if anything, it is a copy cat. Back in the day when Spyro and Crash were Playstation's mascots Spyro was a wise-cracking little purple dragon with a cool voice and his character design was 100% better than this and he was always ready to kick some Rhynoc butt. Where's that Spyro? This is just some extremely ugly mutated Vampire bat lizard that hisses and roars and in fact, it looks like one of Spyro's enemies. If I wanted to see a scary character that hisses and roars, I would go watch Godzilla. In The Legend of Spyro, he was changed in a way Spyro fans weren't happy about (including me) and the entire franchise was rebooted and the Spyro fanbase lost faith....then that was beaten to death when this game came out since it's ANOTHER REBOOT! Come on, we know Activision wanted this to be for kiddies who never saw Spyro but they could have AT LEAST put the real Spyro design for this game so us Spyro fans would also be much more interested in this game. Besides, where's Hunter, Sparx, Zoe, Moneybags, The Blue Egg Thieves, Gnorcs, Bianca, Rhynocs, Portals, Gems, The Magic Whirlwinds and everyone/thing else Spyro related? We haven't seen those in ages. Activision went way too far this time. Spyro should have never been changed in the first place.
The second reboot in the Spyro franchise:
Like I mentioned before (read the previous paragraph), this is the second time Spyro gets rebooted. Honestly, these companies are trying way too hard to get Spyro to the next level. They really need to Stop rebooting the franchise and make a dang return of the classic Spyro. I doubt Insomniac would buy Spyro back because they care more about Ratchet & Clank and Resistance than Spyro, which was what really got them their fame. But that would be the best thing ever if that happened. Anyway, there was no reason to hide old Spyro's identity so the kids of this generation can't ever know who Spyro really is, there are a number of video game franchises that never got rebooted and evern kids of this generation like them *cough*Mario*cough*.
No more Cynder please:
Seriously. She's an overrated character and one of the reasons I despise TLOS. Why would they put her in the game and Not Hunter or Sparx or Bianca?
Overall, another bad Activision games and an abomination to the first three games. Don't buy it unless you are a diehard fan of Activision (unlike me).
