Cynder_543, the only reason that spyro doesnt fall off the edge is because spyro can fiy now so y would he fall off the ledge when he could fly.

I don't like how you can't full off the ege. That is what made the Spyro games more off a challenge. It is now basicly imposible to die unless you get killed by enemys.....

No one isn't agains you Ale29. smilie

Anyway, I think the reason why most people love this game is because off the free flight and co-op (especily with Cynder). The co-op was awsome. I loved playing with my sister. But the flying could do with some improvments....

Free flight has to be the best. I remember playing the old spyro games and falling of the edge. Now i dont have to worry about that

I love it because you can do a lot more, like 2 player, play as Cynder, better graphics, fly whenever you want, the breaths are really cool, you can upgrade, you can collect armour, and you can reply any part you want!
