though I thought this game was good I thought it lacked character, they were all to serious, in the other games their would be a few jokes, but saying that I still want the legend series back as skylanders I wouldnt really call a spyro game

The legend series (in my opinion) seems a bit darker, if you knew want I'm saying. There's a lot more fighting, more love (ew) , and a lot scarier villain

Actually the story did have quite a few plotholes in it.

Cynder getting her bracelets on when trapped in crystal?
Spyro and Cynder growing up when trapped in crystal?
Malefor not killing Spyro when he had the chance?
Cynder turning a different color?

etc

Though the storyline has Terrible plot holes.
