Worth Getting?

Is this game worth getting or not?

minredd · Nov 04, 2008 10:02 PM

Definitely. I had a lot of fun playing it, and I think the game is rather unique(in games you're always a human, that be no fun). Plus the gorgeous cut scenes, scenery and music definitely make it worth it.

shade105 · Nov 04, 2008 11:25 PM

definatly worth it... especially... if you are a SxC fan....

1337SauceDragon · Nov 04, 2008 11:42 PM

If you dont get it, you will regret it for the rest of eternity!!!!
Anyways,
It has awesome graphics, awesome storyline, awesome gameplay, and 1337 sceneries too.
OH and some.. nvm.. JUST PLAY THE GAMEEE!!
its my fav one out of all LoS

and now for a slightly less biassed view (from someone who hasnt even played it lol)

the major questions you need to ask yourself are:

have you played the previous 2 games?
did you enjoy them?

if you answered no to the first question, then id suggest you do so before playing the final game in a trilogy (much the same as most people wouldnt read the last book or watch the last movie in a series)

if you answered no to the second, then its hard to say, from what i hear, there are some extra features in the newer one that may appeal to you (free flight for example)

i personally would get it if i had played the previous games, if only to find out how it ends (im a compulsive collector)

Def worth getting if your a Spyro fan. Where you go from there depends on how you view video games.

Personally I loved it...no matter what the reviewers say....since were all pretty sure what they are gonna say anyways.

Flight isn't even that great, the controls are awkward and you're very limited with it. I wanted to bite my TV screen because I couldn't go higher even to places that I've been before. Definetly would have been better if you could go a lot higher, otherwise I see no point to it. Even in the old PS1 games you couldn't fly regularly and I found it a lot more pleasing to glide from high places.

I don't know if you liked the first two or not but this one is better than them. I still don't recommend buying it even if you like what little there is of it because it's so short. Try rental first.

RedDragonX · Nov 05, 2008 3:38 AM

I agree with you on the concept of flight. I was excited when they told us about the whole freeflight experience...but then you get that stupid platform right in front of you that you stretch those nice wings of yours to reach.....your just about to get it.....then awwwww man you go straight down like a rock. Nothing like an invisible forcefield to make your gaming experience.

I enjoyed the game except for all this minor issues..but if you say that a game is going to have free flight don't you think you should really apply yourself to the concept of "free" as in all over anywhere you want. Things like this are just critical when it comes down to the small details...but yea if you are a diehard fan (like me) you wont really care as long as you can enjoy the overall quality of the game....but I already know the reviewers are gonna have field day tearing it apart due to it's bad camera angles and mishaps when it comes to things like flight and the fighting mechanics..(against elites)

Buy the game if you are a diehard fan...and look forward to a great experience..but if your not then rent it first as before said just to try it before ya buy it. All I can say is that as a fan I found it more enjoyable then both ANB and TEN.

Kazoobie64 · Nov 05, 2008 3:46 AM

Well, critics are there to review games thoroughly from mechanics and technicality, not be like "well I enjoyed this game so it gets a 10 rating!!!"

RedDragonX · Nov 05, 2008 3:48 AM

That's what I meant lol....thank you for clarrifying...hence why this game is going to get trashed..by the big ones anyways.

TornWings · Nov 05, 2008 6:12 AM

It's a good game, there were things they could've done better (curse those adamantine orbs), but I'm satisfied with the final result. If TLOS has to end, I'd say this is good way to go out.

ratchet · Nov 05, 2008 9:37 AM

I havn't played that much to give a good decision, but for what i've played it's not bad, still not a good as the originals but alot better than ANB or TEN.

RedDragonX · Nov 05, 2008 1:36 PM

Well if your a fan of the originals I doubt this game will really do justice for you. If your a fan of the LOS series then it does...because it's def better then the previous two games.

The only thing that has annoyed me about all of them is the stupid camera angles...but other then that I can't really complain.

Wasn't short for me o_O

RedDragonX · Nov 05, 2008 6:11 PM

I guess it just depends on how quickly you play through games lol....

Kazoobie64 · Nov 05, 2008 8:29 PM

Short is also that there's so little levels, not enough connected environments.

RedDragonX · Nov 05, 2008 8:53 PM

Very true....I still think the area's in general were not very big...just seemed it...

SpyroFan2071 · Nov 06, 2008 12:41 AM

OMG you have to be STUPID to ask this question!!! LOL im kidding kidding!! but im serius. XD no im kidding.

anyways, its SOOOO worth getting!!! its alil easy though but thats just me. (passed it in like 3 days. wouldve been two but i had a friend over for the day) weird cause it took me 2-3 days to finnish ALL of the TLOS games. weird...

anyways, it is SOOO worth getting! even after you complete it 100% you would still wanna play! ive had it for over a week, and me and my sister play in the medow place, pretendin to talk and stuff. and its sooo cool!! GET THIS GAME ALREADY!!

RedDragonX · Nov 06, 2008 1:24 AM

I rest my case......:D....go get the game...

JasonLovesKelsey · Nov 08, 2008 3:04 AM

RedDragonX · Nov 08, 2008 3:08 AM
