good features of this game = play 2 different characters girl or boy can play..cynder is dark i love dark things plus shes a girl...fly anytime....4 breaths...yew have to use the breaths to complete certain tasks in the game...2 player mode-this is brilliant bit.bad features=not chalenging enough..breaths get too powerful ...gets boring after played through a couple o times..cheats r helpful but make it way too easy...i dont like the way spyro looks when hes grown up..he looked cuter in older vertions of spyro games like a new begining-now that was a very very god game but it didnt have co-op play or fly anytime...game needs more chalenge is the summary-but its still a very good improvement in the spyro games
