Thank you for this Yahoo! There are not much infos out there for the Wii Version. I really enjoy reading it. So far it was possible! xD
And i think itÂ´s the third Version of this Game i buy in November. smile

And AGAIN, somebody said Spyro and Cynder were encased in crytsal for ten years. It's THREE years, for pete's sake.

dark52 · Sep 01, 2008 4:14 PM

Wow, nice preview. It certainly seems positive.

PYROX · Sep 01, 2008 4:39 PM

good work Yahoo!!
...I wish I could buy that same magazine:( they don't sell 'em here-_-

Stormy · Sep 01, 2008 4:39 PM

Again, I resent them calling the original games "kiddish". T__T AHT was kiddish, sure, but the first three weren't in my opinion.

Getting past that, it looks like it's going to be pretty cool. As long as it's better than ANB and TEN, which it looks like it will be, I might not mind it. Good find, Yahoo. big_smile

RSpanner · Sep 01, 2008 4:45 PM

the magazine rack is just by the exit and as soon as i saw spyro and turn the cart around and went straight over to it

It also sounds a bit odd coming from you know, a Nintendo-based magazine. They're probably going around reviewing things like Animal Crossing, the cartoon Zeldas, (IE. Wind Waker, Minish Cap, Four Swords, etc.) Mario... So what kind of a contradiction is this?

I reckon comparing a game like this to the old ones and pointing out a superiority in the tone difference with the newer version is just a basic marketing strategy to attract the older audience. My friend and I watched that interview with Elijah Woods together, and as soon as he said "the old games sort of fell into the realm of being a kid's game for a while" or something along those lines, my friend wondered aloud: "Gee Eli, I wonder how much you got paid to say that."

Neotyguy40 · Sep 01, 2008 9:24 PM

Woot! They are going to use a system similiar to ATLAS from TGEA!

What that means is this:

All the levels are merged into 1, when the player is far away, the objects and terrain are stored in the hardrive, but getting closer brings them out into the RAM.

So that means that the levels are going to be HUGE!!!

And it is 3 years!!!

[sub]Yeah, I think you're probably right. Doesn't make it any less annoying, though. T_T

And I didn't notice the irony in the fact that Nintendo is writing the review, heh. [/sub]

My fave video game company revewing it so cool.

TheManiacOnWheels · Sep 02, 2008 9:30 AM

Sounds good, and I'm glad that the game seems to be being received pretty warmly so far.

CynderRules · Sep 02, 2008 10:40 AM

yay! Can't wait for it too come out, when exactly is that anyways?

Spyro_Fan_Forever · Sep 02, 2008 3:17 PM

October 28th. big_smile
It's getting closer and closer!

minredd · Sep 02, 2008 7:26 PM

October 28th is just a rumor, remember that ;D We don't actually know the *official* date. Sierra hasn't revealed it(or at least, I don't think).

Aura24 · Sep 02, 2008 8:06 PM

Nope, they haven't revealed the real release date yet.

John Man 1234 · Sep 02, 2008 8:11 PM

It might come out after Crash Mind Over Mutant on the 8th isn't that what happend last year.

Spyro_Fan_Forever · Sep 02, 2008 8:22 PM

What? This whole time I thought it was the 28th. hmm
Well I hope it's sooner then the 28th then.

Actually, TEN came out on the 2nd of October before Crash of the Titans. I hope it will be released around October 1st.

John Man 1234 · Sep 02, 2008 8:27 PM

Well the sooner the better.

Flamme · Sep 02, 2008 8:46 PM

Thank you Yahoo smile

"might be better on other console..."

This is a silly point.

DragonLadyArts · Sep 03, 2008 12:59 AM
