It's good, you just have to ignore the graphics

User Rating: 7.5 | Spyro: Shadow Legacy DS
This review is going to be short and sweet.

Right, I'm not a fantastic reviewer, but let's just forget about the graphics. It's a DS game! Of course it wasn't going to look fantastic, even though most DS games are better looking. To start, the gameplay is good and includes using the touch screen to create spells (which can save your life at times!). There is an element of RPG in the game as well, which is good because it gives some extra value to it.

The music is average, but that shouldn't distract you from the game! I mean, if you hated it, you could just turn the volume down. The same goes for the sound effects.

Right, I'm going to talk about the graphics now. If the graphics were better, would this game have gotten better reviews? Probably yes, because the ancient looking graphics (for the DS that is) cause most of the problems and glitches people are moaning about. Most of the items are in 2D, unlike the GBA games, so that was a disappointment for me. But look, I ignored those graphics and thought it was a great and fun game.

Overall, the game is good and addictive if you can ignore the graphics and the story is quite good aswell. It is basically a portable version of 'A Hero's Tail' because of the style and it has interesting bosses. Not exactly the boss fights, but the bosses look good. So I'm giving this a 7.5 becuase of how fun it is if you ignore the glitches and graphics.

End of review! :)
