Finally!! A good Spyro game. Granted its not as amazing as the very first one on the PS1, but it still is much better then the ones that came out for the PS2. The overall game is fun, witty, and easy (but not to easy) A great game for the family and Spyro lovers, it has a co-op mode (only offline, I know it sucks) but non the less still fun as both players help each other in different situations. The graphic in the game are decent for a game like this, controls are easy to use after a bit, and not to mention that the price of the game is great. If you are looking for easy Achievements, yes this game has them too, not all are easy some will that a few tries. Most are just going through the game and getting an X amount of kills and upgrades. I give the game 4 stars because it has everything I wanted in a Spyro game (except online co-op, maybe next time)

Surprisingly very good game. You'll need a walkthrough as there are parts of the game you won't figure out, but there's a number of good guides online to help you (the one on Gamefaqs by "dark52" is pretty good).

Visually there are some stunning moments in the game. The graphics engine isn't on par with the AAA titles of this generation, but it makes very good use of lots of vibrant bright colours to liven the world up. Graphics-wise it reminds me a LOT of Kameo.

Some of the achievements are a bit tedious, though most you will get by just playing through the campaign.

Some stellar V/O work with the likes of Elijah Wood and Christina Ricci providing voice-work for the main characters.

Co-op is a lot of fun, and really adds to the experience. The absence of XBL co-op is a bit puzzling though.

All-in-all a very good game that'll keep you entertained for a few days. Reminds me a lot of a combination of Kameo and the Lord of the Rings movies. 8/10 for me.
