\/ The Wii Version did a weird glitch on me one time

I landed on a piece of debris that floats up past the arena and it cared me up to a point where i was stuck and couldn't descend, but malodor was still active below me and his shots could still reach me. if it wasn't for that I would've had to reset the game oh god.

I've heard bad things about the PS2 version. I do like the Wii version but to me it's the weakest in he trilogy for several reasons.

V I had something like that happen to me too. It actually kept bringing health back to Malefor for some reason. Something similar happened with the Golem attack, I would go to hit him and Spyro and Cynder would disappear for a few seconds. Maybe it's supposed to do it, I have no idea.

V I got the ps2 version first (since I didnt have a 3 at the time) but when I got the 3 I got the PS3 version. And seriously, you can see huge differences between the two.
Hey, does any one else's PS3 version do a weird thing during the malefor battle? When spyro and Cynder fly into the clouds for a good five seconds?

V The graphics were great on the PS3, all the details that weren't in the PS2 are there. I feel like it's the best version to have, which is why I waited so long for an affordable price online.

Actually, graphics wise this game was amazing on PS3. Especially since it was also released on PS2

#11515 PhotonTH 02:46:35 25/01/2016

my least favorite of the LOS trilogy. It could have been flushed out so much more. Seriously i mad that volteer only gets one line in this whole game. He's supposed to be a chatter box!!

I did like the open world and free flying stuff and the music was nice and graphics were pretty satisfactory.

Wish it could've been expanded upon and wish that it had gotten a sequel rather than getting followed up by Skylanders.

Spyro is dead after this game and chances of him coming back in his old glory are very slim.

This game is beyond beautiful graphics and an amazing storyline

V I agree with everything you said

If Spyro was ever to return to the old games, Activision would have to sell him and stop including Spyro in Skylanders.

Just decided to replay this series. Missed these games. I remember when I was following this site so closely for updates on the Legend of Spyro Trilogy. I remember buying the games immediately. The third one was definitely my favorite out of the three for the story line, game play, and character designs. That was the reason I got an account here to begin with, but haven't really been on here since the third game's release.
I sorta miss this Spyro. I know nothing will ever replace the original 3 games which I have on my PS3 now and love them even after all of this time. With that in mind, this is where the Spyro franchise ended for me. Skylanders seems like an amazing game franchise on its own with great new concepts in gaming, but as a Spyro game, I find it distasteful since Spyro isn't really focused in it even with the first one having his name in the title. Also just kinda think his new character design is ugly, but that's just me. For those who love him and the game series than that's cool with me.
Overall I just hope someday they might bring back Spyro to where he all began with a new game series that brings back what made the original trilogy and even this one so good.

I have it for PS2. I really liked it, but it was very difficult to complete without a second player.

#11510 Spyro Lover122 00:35:28 14/10/2015

This is the last game that fully featured Spyro.
In Skylanders he isn't actually a big part of the game, I wish we could see something a actually starring him and being some part of story. Only place you can find that now is the Skylander comics.

@Alydol Stop talking dope about skylanders. How would you like it that you a game designer and I say your game sucks and this one is freaking better! This one seems as old as beeping dinosaurs lol!
