Spyro112233, if you meant me then I'm a girl. Anyway I hope Sierra makes more TLOS games...but if they go back to the original games then I guess that is okay.
He is right. This is only the first trilogy...
This is NOT the end of Spyro!!! Just because the trilogy is over dosnt mean that nobody will make more Spyro games! I love Spyro!!!
The legend of Spyro - Dawn of The Dragon is the Grand finale of all the Spyro games among all consoles. There are different play modes but, because I own a PS3, i will tell you guys about LOS on PS3. It has two game modes - Single Player and Co-Op. Single Player mode allows you to switch between Spyro and Cynder, controlling both Dragons for different uses. Co-Op mode is where two players (you and another) play as different dragons, Player 1 being Spyro, wheras Player 2 being Cynder. I tend to find the Single Player mode easier to play, as you don't have your companion trying to fly in the opposite direction as you =-P. Both dragons have their uses in the game and both have Strengths and Weaknesses due to the differential armours they both have. While Spyro's Armour focuses on defence and Melee, Cynder's armour focuses on Attack and Combo Magic-to-Melee attacks. There are over 6 Maps to play, all of which are Free-Roaming platformers, which most enjoy, however, for the few that don't, just wander around the map to see if anything pops out at you. I personally enjoy free roaming platformers as a pose to non Free roamers, as it gives you more freedom to explore, and also makes the game a more challenging, longer lasting game that you aren't going to complete in about 5 minutes. I myself have owned the game for more than 4 days now and have yet to reach the halfway point in the game. You fight many monsters and encounter other dragons during gameplay. The most annoying monster that I have yet to get past is the Golem. It just pops up on almost every level that I have played, and will kill you in but a few hits if you fail to avoid it. I must say, the ending of the Series of Spyro is a bittersweet end. While I will be glad to finally complete Spyro, it is sad to see the game series I so cherished for 10 years come to an abrupt end. I just hope the game makers see that Spyro fans are unhappy at the ending of the series and carry it on.
bella, you do remember when a big building fell in front of Spyro and Cynder right? Well.... there is a hill (I think) where the building fell. It will take you to a new area and I'm sure you can take it from there! I hope that helps you! I had the same problem at first!
what do you do after destroying all the siege towers? it shows you a cutscene of hunter and a monster who broke through the door, however then it goes back to you without telling you what to do..i have been wandering around the ramparts and nothing has happened but scary music and exploding noises
Hi everyone!!!! DOTD rules! But on the ps2 the controls are sooooo different from ANB and TEN! When I first got the game ( 2 months ago) I didn't know what I was doing even know I read the rule book!!! But the game is still the best game so far!
Cynderluvie there's nothing wrong with the armor and pink would ruin 
style

love the game, hate the armor style. They should've made the brown fury armor of Cynder pink, and Spyro's dark blue. 
I got the game on 25 too the game is so cool!
me too igot it on the 25 i'm happy about the co-op play because it's the first spyro game ever with that and when i get some one who has a wii remote to play with me we will be unstoppeble.
I don't think all of us make mistakes and I just got the the game
Dec. 25. And guess what I'm glad that it has coo'p and that cynder and spyro can fly.
