Spyro's face in DOTD looks lame when he breathes fire. In ANB and TEN he looks REALLY evil!

There is something that Spyro can do in the original games and it was a great move and TLOS Spyro can't do it... D:

How is DOTD fanbased? If your telling me some Crazy spyroxCynder 10 year-old fan made this game,,


No, a SpyroxCynder fan did not make this game. smilie When I said that it was fanbased, I ment that the developers got most off the ideas from the Spyro fans. How do I know that DOTD is fanbased? Look here. smilie

But I still think DOTD is good. It's the best TLOS game by far. But there are just a couple of things that they need to work on. And one off them is to not change the body designs just to make the game look epic. If you get trapped in a crystal for a long time, your not suposed to change or get older. But Spyro and Cynder and Sparx did somehow grew up in the crystal. That coursed alot off comfusing to lots off people.... See how bad "trying to make games look epic" can be?

But like I said, DOTD still rules! The combat is good. The amount off fighting is great. It has alot less fighting then ANB and TEN! smilie It's my 5th fave Spyro game.

The thing I don't like about the flying is that Spyro can't fall of the edge anymore. Only gliding made the games more challenging. Now that you can't full off the edge, the game is less challenging. Spyro is suposed to suck at flying, now that he can fly, it ruined the joke. And I didn't like when Cynder said

I love you

That thing that she said, drove all the SxC fans crazy and made them more anoying then ever.... And the reason why she said that is because DOTD was fanbased smilie Hate me, throw garbige at me, I don't care what you do. But I'm just saying what I think.....
