better than tthey say, but only while it lasts...
Pros-
-Wide variety of moves
-Brilliant cutscenes, very xbox 360-like
-When you start to meet more and more new enemies, it's exciting
-Frequent save points allow you to dip in and out
-Obviously it's for DS, so you can take it anywhere
-Although simple and slightly dumb, the storyline is engrossing
-Shows that when you take most of the gameplay elements of a game back to basics, it's very fun
-A great, fresh type of gameplay
-Brilliant-boss-batlles
Cons-
-Short
-Just as Gamespot predict, boss rush mode would have been great
-Constant enemy bashing gets tiring
-Mirror puzzles are f*****g annoying and feel like they get in the way of the actual, proper gameplay
-Sparx is stupid in this installment, although he used to be awesome
Overall the pros outweigh the cons, so I'd say for spyro fans a difinate purchase, same goes for action fans. Most other people might like it but I would advise them to rent or borrow it before buying, just incase they feel it's a waste of money.
