Title: Major Letdown but Pretty to Look At
Product review: It's interesting that this game depicts Spyro's beginnings because with THESE beginnings you'd expect Sypro to have been some kind of Jedi Knight by the time he made it to A Hero's Tale (or perhaps in therapy). In "Legend" Spyro is more like a ninja than the cool, sassy fun dragon whose biggest enemies are Gnorks and an Evil Neptune in drag. I gave up on the game after the second round of training for moves that would make the most dexterously agile 12 year old need AsperCream for his thumbs. Anyway, this is a really neat idea with beautiful graphics, but the whimsy-with-challenge charm that Spyro has previously had (super early games excepted because I haven't played them, so I don't know) is lost to a very dark and somewhat violent game that is dominated by the player being under basically constant and copious attack. It's really too bad, because it had a lot of promise, and I enjoyed the start of it the game.
