Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I think you've being very biased because you didn't enjoy the game.

Not really, the gameplay has became as dull as grey. Besides, i cant even call these fans "Spyro fans" Because TLOS has NOTHING TO DO WITH Spyro. REboot wasn't needed, AT ALL.

O_o ...Calm down.

It's very unfair to say that the New "Legend" Trilogy players are "not Spyro fans" just because they haven't experienced the original games, you know. And I enjoy <i>both</i> series, as do many other prolific members of this forum who have been around a lot longer than I have, so what does that make us?

I think it has a lot to do with Spyro. The new spyro isn't the same guy, but he has things in common with the original - he's still courageous, still good natured, and still *bleep* (...wow, that's swearing? Sorry  :-[ )fun to bash things with. He doesn't have as "spunky" a personality as the original one (which is a shame, because he might be able to come up with better comebacks to sparx's qwuips if he did tongue) , but that doesn't mean he's badly done. I prefer the new relationship with sparx being more of a sibling one to the "living health monitor" he was originally, and while I'll always prefer the orginal games, I'm not gonna bite Sierra's head off just because they made a few (understandable - it ain't easy making a good video game you know) mistakes and screwed with their gameplay a bit and because he doesn't "match" the original Spyro.

Sierra did a decent-to-good job, IMO, and they're working on ironing out the bugs. Take it from an animation student - They put a LOT of effort into the games construction, recreated a mythos that was entirely their own rather than trying (and failing) to imitate the original the way "Enter the Dragonfly did" - not as good as the ORIGINAL spyro but hey - whatever IS gonna be as good as the original? They have made Spyro their own, just as so many of us do through, say, fanfiction for example.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I dont just Hate TLOS because of its awful gameplay, or the fact that its changed so much, i hate it because it chooses to forget about OLd Spyro, just shove him out in the gutter to dry. After Krome have finished with Spyro, another developer will get him, and what games will they try out to see the purple dragon in action? the most recent ones of cource. So then they will take their ideas off TLOS, and then lol and behold, Old Spyro once again has been blown to oblivian. What i am saying is that the old Spyro i knew and loved is gone after this Reboot, and i cant do anything about it...

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I guess we both see it in different ways, then.

What i am saying is that the old Spyro i knew and loved is gone after this Reboot, and i cant do anything about it...

Ah. And that's the reason you're so upset - the exact same reason I get upset myself sometimes. I had a feeling...

I'm a bit older than you so I guess it's different, but for me, losing the original spyro in this way was kind of like... losing my childhood. Spyro was a bit part of my early teenage years for many reaosns - it's even at least in part, the reason why I'm now studying animation - because I was so surprised by just how complx and beautiful games could be (hey, it LOOKED complex and cool back then).

On the other hand, I also liked the new spyro for the same reasons - I HAVE grown up just a little since the first games. While I adore the rogiinal games now after so many years, I don't think I'd nessecarily enjoy them so much if I started playing now. The Legend series gave me more of a challenge, and a storyline I could sink my jaws into


That's the way fandom works - we fans don't like change, because we get attached to the original characters. Then sometimes they vanish for no reason. Th show Knightrider (sorry I have some weird tastes tongue) lost one helluva lot of ratings when they replaced a character in season two - so much so that they brought her BACK in season three, and ratings picked right up again.

But change happens. And you're right - there's not really anything we can do about it. If Spyro as a franchise was to survive, then that change was nessecary. It just happened a little soon for you.

I won't ever forget the original Spyro. I do think it's a shame that some people won't nessecarily get to experience the originals, but is it honestly fair to hate on the new guy, just because you liked (and miss) the old one?

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

That is true, but not really the full of it. As i've said many times, i like change, but only if its neccesary and not to the extreme. But TLOS, well you cant mess with TLOS, they chaged paractically EVERYTHING just because they thought Spyro's platforming days were wrong.
I understand that dfranchises need to change to survive, but its pretty much a whole new franchise anyway. Besides, i think the change was for the worse, looking that the games ratings and the fact that the sales are no where near Insomniac's mark.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

Well I've had twenty one years to develop an opinion on what constitutes "nessecary" change, so... I dunno. I guess I'm a little more world-weary about the whole thing. The fact is for survival it WAS nessecary.

I guess yeah - it is pretty much a "new" franchise with little in common with the old spyro but to me... it's still a Spyro, you know?

if it bothers you so much ,then just avoid this area of the forum. Stick with the spyro you know and love. He may never return, but he'll always be remembered.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

Its good to share my opinions on these games and not just ignore them..... My main thing with Spyro is that i want to improve him, and TLOS really hasn't so that is practicaly why i am here.... But i'm pretty sick of arueing anyway.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I guess everyone must be tired of it by now.

Please try and understand - it is impossible for a videogame (or anything for that matter) to please EVERYONE. The things you think will improve the game (or the things I think will improve it) might not be what the rest of the world thinks. What about the yougner players who have never TOUCHED the original games and probably never will? What about them? In the end, the game makers just have to do what they think is best, hope the game goes down well and see where it takes them.

We can't go back to the past, but it's up to us what we do with the present, right?

I don't agree with CrashPro, or you, Ratchet, i'm sick of arguments and you probably know why i don't agree with you so i'm not gonna go into it.


Everyone is entitled to their opinions...I just don't want to hear them. (kidding).

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I give this game a 9.99999999999999999 because the only thing I found wrong with it was that it was too short.(I beat the game in 8 or so hours)  Although the enemies were extremely difficult at times, that's what makes it fun.(In my opinion.)  I don't like games where you walk two feet and beat the game. <_< (big exaggeration)  I prefer The Legend of Spyro more than the other games because they're challenging, I like the action, the amazing storyline and the awesome characters. (Guess I can't slash the original games because I've never played them before)  Surely I'm not the only one that hates those cheap knockoffs A Hero's Tail, Season of Ice, Attack of The Rynocs, and Season of Fire, right?  Terrible games.  Not that I very much enjoy Gamebuy Advance games(TOO SMALL! BAD GRAPHICS!)  If I had one of those gameboy player things whatever they are that would solve the size problem. Wait, since a wii plays gamecube games, does that mean it can use a gameboy player designed for the gamecube?(for those that have no idea what i'm talking about, a gameboy player is this thing that works with a gamecube to enable your gamecube to play gameboy advance games, wonder where I can get one? It would be nice if it fixed the graphic problem. <_< )

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I actually didn't mind SOF, AOR or SOI, yet they are still no match for the originals in my opinion. AHT had some "problems" which made it annoying but it isn't too bad. Difficult/frustating games i am not very fond of, mainly because i get a headache and frustration easily. But there are some games which i wish were harder and i like the hardness, as long as it is not unfair hard. ANB was a real sinch, TEN was hard, so i hope TDH will be medium.

I give this game a 5.7

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

Do you guys even know what it is like at the end of the game. I agree with those who say that it is steep to call it the worst game for it is the story that you miss when you get so picky at the things you get to do.
mad
The moral that comes from it is the best part by my opinion. It is people like the ones who created this post are the ones who destroy the meaning behind it and it is sad to think about what critics are saying. the critics are indeed the ones who give them a public opinion but it is vary shallow that people like you who think you can say things like this and get by without a complaint.

nothing will satisfy you if you are picky like this and mock my words you will loose interest in good games like this and become a sorry person who only enjoys the graphics for it is people like them who loose the whole moral.

What is adventure without hardship. indeed it is a new concept not getting to do things that you use to in the earlier games but why make such a scene out of the change. You get to fight with fists if that is not enough for you critics than you can leave this game behind and find a new. The game industry does not deserve to be mocked at for its new game. It is people like you who make it hard for creative people to bring the impressive.

the game Spyro the new beginning is perfect and no one can say otherwise because you have not played the whole game and therefore have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  mad


Fell in love with Spyro when I was little. I played it with my friends. They went different ways over time and I refused to let this go. I am seventeen and still enjoy playing the old games as well as the new. Game makers are of their own and I have no reason to disagree because they made it perfect

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I think the game is pretty good, despite the fact that when you attack in the air, after your done w/ combo's you basically float above the enemy and are completely open for attacks...and when you DO get attacked, (and this I really dislike) is when he takes forever to recover, its like they had to over exaggerate the fact that you got hit so you must role backwards and sit in a daze for 5 hours. >_> Another thing is when you use dragon time, it hurts my eyes pretty much when I use it (and for certain bosses you NEED to use it A LOT!) and its just that everything is way too blue (but even THAT doesnt bother me much) its just the whole flashing sequence that takes place that bothers me.

The gameplay however, is pretty good over all. Combo's are fun, slomo's can get pretty out-of-hand but its not too big of a deal. Its just using the fury takes so long, that while Spyro's using his fury attack I could take a bath, get dressed, and go to McDonalds to get some fries and a burger and be back in time to see him finally finish the move. (although I rarely use the fury attack anyway, but I'm just saying that it's just a bit TOO slow, they could have sped it up a tad bit) Melee attacks in the air (when it goes to slow motion) doesnt bother me at all, I kind of enjoy it, as it helps me see whats actually going on around me for a few seconds. XD
The charge attack is pretty useless in this game I might say, its too hard to control (better yet spyro hardly moves left/right while charging)
I used to use the charge a lot to get to places faster, and in this game sometimes its a pretty good thing to have but since its too hard to control him...I dont know what to say other than it can get pretty annoying.
I remember while I was in Spyro's first dream, I died because, well, the gliding is pretty uncomfortable to use, and I slipped off the edge somehow (I was fully on the rock thing where you fight those rock soldiers) but still I "floated" and fell right off. It was pretty dumb. And I wouldnt really call it a glitch since it happens WAY too often EVERYWHERE no matter what.

But anyway, the difficulty is good, I like it, you HAVE to use your brain and plan out strategic moves and such. The only things that kill it sometimes are the floating and dragon time (well for me, because you sometimes have to use it a lot and it can really be a pain in the eyes)
But I like the difficulty of it all. smile

This is all I really have for now. XD

I overall give this game...hm...6.8/10...or 7/10.
I enjoy the old spyro a lot because of the different worlds (and it felt cool too) and how sparx was your "life" thing...and how killing sheep and frogs and chickens and such would release a butterfly that sparx would eat and you could..yablablablabla.
Sparx in this game only guides you, sometimes, he goes places that I cant even tell WHERE he is...but oh well.
I really wish though that they didnt make him grin so much...its pretty creepy sometimes. >_< And the game is so dark, I understand "the eternal night" but seriously...sometimes I cant even tell if I'm walking on the floor or not.

and wow that was a long review. XD

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

Well I quite like TEN, although there were quite a lot of things about it I didn't like. As in ANB the "levels" are very long and there aren't very many of the, so overall the game is very short, (easy to complete within a day) yet sometimes the levels can get annoying because of their length. It would be better with many more levels which are shorter. The bosses should be much harder, they were not much of a challenge at all (Gaul had many stages, but he was pretty pathetic  hmm ). The gameplay was alright and the collectibles along with the dragon challenges were interesting. The storyline was was good, but rather simple. I would give it a 7/10.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

4/10: I am not a big fan of this game. I'm actually returning it today because I found that it was a waste of money. The combat fighting got even worse since the first game, and the boss battles were terrible. Don't yell at me or argue, it's just my opinion. It's just not my kind of game.

I agree, TEN defiently isn't the worst game of all time, the worst Spyro game? no! I think orange, ANB, SSL, ETD were all worse, but especially ETD and ANB (i havn't played much of SSL or Orange, but i've heard some real bad things about orange). And even though the story's good (I gave it 8.5, i took marks off for various reasons) it doesn't make up for other things, so thats why i gave it a 5.7.

I dont think Crashrpo hates the story at all either, he seems to gladly accept it into his Spyro timeline, and did I hear a bad word about it?

The moral that comes from it is the best part by my opinion. It is people like the ones who created this post are the ones who destroy the meaning behind it and it is sad to think about what critics are saying. the critics are indeed the ones who give them a public opinion but it is vary shallow that people like you who think you can say things like this and get by without a complaint.

I dont think that Crashpro thought that everyone would agree with him.

nothing will satisfy you if you are picky like this and mock my words you will loose interest in good games like this and become a sorry person who only enjoys the graphics for it is people like them who loose the whole moral.

I dont think Crashpro said anything about graphics. if he did, a game like orange would indeed be his worst spyro game, and TEN being his best, seeing TEN has the best graphics out of all the Spyro games (Maybe ETD's a bit better, i cant eally tell, but i suggest by TEN being the newest spyro game, the graphics were better).

And you seem to really only woirying about Story, how about the ummmm other things? You dont expect people to give a game review a 9 just because it has an awesome story.

What is adventure without hardship. indeed it is a new concept not getting to do things that you use to in the earlier games but why make such a scene out of the change.

The "scene of the change" is because the franchise is supposed to be the same franchise, meaning they are supposed to be similar and not rebooted.

You get to fight with fists if that is not enough for you critics than you can leave this game behind and find a new.

You can "fight with fists" in real life too you know, And Spyro doesn't seem like hes fighting with fists anyway. Reguardless, your point is irrelevent

The game industry does not deserve to be mocked at for its new game.

Its ok to share opinion and tell others what they think. THey might find people who agree with you.
Crashpro's also alowed to vent his anger, obviously he didn't like the game

It is people like you who make it hard for creative people to bring the impressive.

Nice insult! sad

the game Spyro the new beginning is perfect and no one can say otherwise because you have not played the whole game and therefore have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.  mad

He is talking about The Eternal night.
And practically the whole game is the same button mashing anyway, the same stuff, so he can judge it.
Do not tell him that he is wtong, we all have our own opinions

I think the game is pretty good, despite the fact that when you attack in the air, after your done w/ combo's you basically float above the enemy and are completely open for attacks...and when you DO get attacked, (and this I really dislike) is when he takes forever to recover, its like they had to over exaggerate the fact that you got hit so you must role backwards and sit in a daze for 5 hours. >_> Another thing is when you use dragon time, it hurts my eyes pretty much when I use it (and for certain bosses you NEED to use it A LOT!) and its just that everything is way too blue (but even THAT doesnt bother me much) its just the whole flashing sequence that takes place that bothers me.

I agree

The gameplay however, is pretty good over all. Combo's are fun, slomo's can get pretty out-of-hand but its not too big of a deal.

Quite true, but i found it got a bit repetative after a while.

Its just using the fury takes so long, that while Spyro's using his fury attack I could take a bath, get dressed, and go to McDonalds to get some fries and a burger and be back in time to see him finally finish the move. (although I rarely use the fury attack anyway, but I'm just saying that it's just a bit TOO slow, they could have sped it up a tad bit)

This didn't bother me too much, but yeah they could of made it so you could skip Spyro's little Scene

Melee attacks in the air (when it goes to slow motion) doesnt bother me at all, I kind of enjoy it, as it helps me see whats actually going on around me for a few seconds. XD

Yeah, its cool

The charge attack is pretty useless in this game I might say, its too hard to control (better yet spyro hardly moves left/right while charging)

The charge attack doesn't work too well, i agree. But i still use it a bit.

I remember while I was in Spyro's first dream, I died because, well, the gliding is pretty uncomfortable to use, and I slipped off the edge somehow (I was fully on the rock thing where you fight those rock soldiers) but still I "floated" and fell right off. It was pretty dumb. And I wouldnt really call it a glitch since it happens WAY too often EVERYWHERE no matter what.

No idea what your talking about, but i did find the platforming a bit awkward

But anyway, the difficulty is good, I like it, you HAVE to use your brain and plan out strategic moves and such. The only things that kill it sometimes are the floating and dragon time (well for me, because you sometimes have to use it a lot and it can really be a pain in the eyes)
But I like the difficulty of it all.

I would've rathered a difficulty setting, and some parts the game is just mean!

I overall give this game...hm...6.8/10...or 7/10.

I give the game a 5 or a 6

Sparx in this game only guides you, sometimes, he goes places that I cant even tell WHERE he is...but oh well.
I really wish though that they didnt make him grin so much...its pretty creepy sometimes.  And the game is so dark, I understand "the eternal night" but seriously...sometimes I cant even tell if I'm walking on the floor or not.

Yeah, i kinda had to use Sparx as a flashlight at times lol

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

Funny, I see alot of people complain about the Fighting, its fun. I figure I'll give my two cents before I get yelled at tongue

Game Play 8 out of 10

Ok so fighting a big group of amped up Monkey or Apes is a challenge and I spent most of my time knocking one set away of me so I can go after the stranglers But other then that I like it, you don't just mash buttons and hope too when Like ANB and I used the Dragon Time alot to save myself from Dieing many times. As for the Platforming I saw no problems other then the ending Deadly waterfall that you have to jump just right to get too the top and the Feathers are great for looking at the art It took me a week too find them all.

Sounds 7.5 out of 10

So I played this game alot and found a few sound bugs, not bad though just repeats such as the ship exploding sound going forever, had to reset my game too stop it but other then that its good, the voice acting are good and none of them sound unrealistic.

Graphics 9 out of 10

What can I say that has not been said, Spyro had a face lift and looks better then then his younger days on the PS1 I love his look and believe it too be a great change although sparks looks more like a fairy then a dragon fly in my opinion as for the other dragons and Apes, I love their look They look real and Shows that even a old game can survive in this modern world of ours

Story 9 out of 10

I love the story, you follow spyro though thick and thin as he tries too say a ever changing world, Yes Cynder does seem to get capture alot but remember that your following Spyoro story and not Cynder'sfor all we know Cynder could have been following a different path and happen to get capture but saves herself, you never know. the story makes you think what he must have felt when his world was coming too the end and the Ending was yes predictable but that because we all knew its a 3 parter

Music: 10 out of 10

I love the music, turn the SFX off and lesson the the music, it follows the plot so well and isn't thrown in there just for fun. I love this Broken Soul the most and made me want too get the DOTD more because of it

Replay 7-8 out of 10

Ok so you just spent the better day playing the game and your burnt out, Now its time too get all the items too finish Spyro's art collection. Like I said before I love the art and spent alot of time collecting it. but other then that its just like the first one and they is not multiple endings or plot twist that I found sad

Overall 8.4 out of 10

A good addition too your collection if your a fan but for people who does not know spyro might not like it, their lost and our gain because I will finish the collection big_smile

Its just using the fury takes so long, that while Spyro's using his fury attack I could take a bath, get dressed, and go to McDonalds to get some fries and a burger and be back in time to see him finally finish the move. (although I rarely use the fury attack anyway, but I'm just saying that it's just a bit TOO slow, they could have sped it up a tad bit) Melee attacks in the air (when it goes to slow motion) doesnt bother me at all, I kind of enjoy it, as it helps me see whats actually going on around me for a few seconds. XD
The charge attack is pretty useless in this game I might say, its too hard to control (better yet spyro hardly moves left/right while charging)
I used to use the charge a lot to get to places faster, and in this game sometimes its a pretty good thing to have but since its too hard to control him...I dont know what to say other than it can get pretty annoying.
I remember while I was in Spyro's first dream, I died because, well, the gliding is pretty uncomfortable to use, and I slipped off the edge somehow (I was fully on the rock thing where you fight those rock soldiers) but still I "floated" and fell right off. It was pretty dumb. And I wouldnt really call it a glitch since it happens WAY too often EVERYWHERE no matter what.

But anyway, the difficulty is good, I like it, you HAVE to use your brain and plan out strategic moves and such. The only things that kill it sometimes are the floating and dragon time (well for me, because you sometimes have to use it a lot and it can really be a pain in the eyes)
But I like the difficulty of it all. smile

This is all I really have for now. XD

I overall give this game...hm...6.8/10...or 7/10.
I enjoy the old spyro a lot because of the different worlds (and it felt cool too) and how sparx was your "life" thing...and how killing sheep and frogs and chickens and such would release a butterfly that sparx would eat and you could..yablablablabla.
Sparx in this game only guides you, sometimes, he goes places that I cant even tell WHERE he is...but oh well.
I really wish though that they didnt make him grin so much...its pretty creepy sometimes. >_< And the game is so dark, I understand "the eternal night" but seriously...sometimes I cant even tell if I'm walking on the floor or not.

and wow that was a long review. XD

I never noticed the floating. What system do you have it on?

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

I didnt really think TEN was bad at all. I even think the story line was a little better than ANB. but thats my own opinion.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

Some of the enemies were a pain (the dogs and the blundertails in particular), but otherwise I liked the game.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

The game was horribly hard until I got Dark Spyro, and I hate going along the outside of Malefor...they made it way too dark to see the floating platforms without using Dragon Time's little highlighting to see them, and a few times they'll switch direction way to quickly...and I hate those Jellyfish things, especially the electric ones.

Re: My Review of The Eternal Night (The worst Spyro game ever)

On a previous page I rated it a 4/10. I'm going to re-rate it now.

6.5/10

It got funner after you get used to the new attacks, breaths etc. There were some annoying glitches where you couldn't stand on certain things because they weren't flat, and you would just slide off the edge. I still am not a fan of that style, but the story was what kept me playing.
