A wonderful game, and I believe that it is a lot better than the second.  In the second the graphics are solid, but the bad guys aren't the greatest bad guys and plus the levels look alike.  Anyways, in this game you'll jump off prehistoric glaciers, face giant enemies, glide across cliffs and free enslaved Dragons, and collect gems and treasure.  Sure, some parts of this game is a little frustrating, and sure, the camera angles are a bit awkward, but you get used to it and get the hang of it. It's a lot like RP games, where the first time you play it, it is incredibly hard, but once you beat it, you'll play it hundreds of times.  I must have beat this game atleast thirty times.  Probably forty.  Anyways, buy it.  It's worth your money.  The graphics are fluid and spectacular, and at times this game can have some humor in it. It's worth the money, believe me.
