jellyspyro · Dec 16, 2008 5:57 PM

yes,i think it is worth playing. Well i havent played it but im getting it for x-mas. but i think it is because nick(a t.v channel) is sponsering dawn of the dragon and the new crash bandicoot. they are doing a compertition on there website too to see who wins a console with both games. it so awsome. Well i think its going to be a great game. give it a try!

Spyro_Fan_Forever · Dec 16, 2008 10:49 PM

I think it's worth it. ^_^ I've already finished it but I have so much fun flying around I can't stop playing! xD

Jackson117 · Dec 16, 2008 10:53 PM

i dislike the wii's (wave your *bleep* controller around the room like a soccer mum for 18 hours thing)

ratchet · Dec 17, 2008 9:58 AM

Eh, It's ok, It's better than ANB and TEN but No where as good as the originals. Worth Trying!

u can use the wii remote and nun-chuck
or plug the classic controller into tha wii remote
if u have one cuz i beat enternal night 2 or 3 times cant remember
but i used the nunchuck and classic controller

shadowsfall · Dec 17, 2008 9:15 PM

i have beaten dotd on the wii. i have it. it is king of hard but for the record it is worth getting. but your arms will get sore.

Cynder's Friend · Dec 18, 2008 1:36 PM

oh boy i cant wait

Cooleosis · Dec 30, 2008 2:47 AM

i dunno if i regret getting it or if i loved getting it...
it was fun, challenging, but mostly i got it for the story
but if u do get it, i suggest not finishing it

Cynder's Friend · Jan 02, 2009 10:51 PM

man that bites

YES! It's definately worth playing. View a walkthrough of Dawn of the Dragon If you still don't know smile

depaul · Apr 14, 2009 4:33 PM

how does the nunchuk work in this game? i'm not really a huge fan of the wiiwaggling thing, but i'm kind of curious about how it works with spyro.

Spinner the Faun · Apr 14, 2009 4:34 PM

DotD is worth geteting if you like Spyro. It's also the first one you can fly in, making the game feel very open. I don't know anything about the wii, i have it on the 360 but it is a very good game.

depaul · Apr 14, 2009 4:58 PM

thanks, i was thinking of getting it because my brother was big into the wii, and then really didn't get a lot of games for it.

Spyro Volcanix · Apr 18, 2009 1:42 AM

YES! It is worth getting, so get it, AND PLAY!!!!

Taco Godess · Apr 18, 2009 6:12 PM

Mehn, Dawn of the Dragon is all right. But it was a huge disappointment. It's hard to fly while playing two-player, the lighting is awful, the voice acting is just horrible, the gameplay can get repetitive... really, the most enjoyment I got out of it was when my friend put in the cheat code for unlimited breath and we started messing around with the attacks. Eventually I did get to a point where I was just sick of it. While it is better than the previous Legend of Spyros, I suggest you rent it first.

Yeppers, but, I don't know about the Wii version, you can play the chapters again... At least on the PS2, anyway.
Oh, yeah, you want to know if it's worth getting. XD
I'd say definitely. Here's my review on the PS2 version, which is meant to be basically the same as the Wii, only different controls, obviously.

*****
Although the previous two games in the "The Legend of Spyro" series have been somewhat disappointing and repetitive, you might find that Dawn of the Dragon is a happy change, for the better. Spyro, Cynder and Sparx have matured whilst being in the crystal, which is one of many plot holes in the game, since Krome studios isn't making Spyro now.
Sparx actually has an enthusiastic person voicing him, without a voice that makes you want to die *cough*Billy West*cough cough*(XD It's true!).
You can play two-player, too. Controller 1 is Spyro and Controller 2 is Cynder.
Solve some challenges and puzzles, and collect... collectables.
You will particularly like this game if you want less fighting, improved graphics and more puzzles.
It may also help your view of the game if you like, or can stand, the pairing Cynder and Spyro.

I hope this helped. This is just my view on the game, you may not agree with it, but you can always take it into consideration. =P

Yeah, but making Spyro and Cynder teenagers was a bad move by Sierra, thinking it would draw in a audience that's growing up with Spyro. And they thought it would be a good idea to update Spyro and Cynder's design for the new consoles, but the only thing that got updated more was the scenery.

T3h0v4llu · Apr 18, 2009 11:36 PM

Does "worth getting" mean you have to pay for it?

Anyway, a strict no.

The camera was just horrible and this game isnt meant to be played with wii.

Spyro Volcanix · Apr 19, 2009 5:38 AM

Also, the cinematics could have been better, they were terrible in some parts. The camera could get annoying sometimes, and that Pi$$ed me off. But, overall, the game was good, (gameplay-wise), and had a good plot-line, but some characters needed more lines *Cough*Guardians*Cough*.

Aura24 · Apr 19, 2009 5:45 AM

It's because they rushed the game that the Guardians didn't have any other lines.

Anyways, the Wii has the same graphics as the PS2 version of DotD, and it's a little hard to move Spyro and Cynder with the nunchuck for me.

Spyro Volcanix · Apr 19, 2009 5:47 AM

I have the PS3 Version, and the graphics are much better. I know they rushed the game and am dissapointed, if they had taken their time with the game, Cyril would have more words to say other than "look out!' (for that is all he says, sadly true.)

Aura24 · Apr 19, 2009 6:40 AM

I have the 360 version, and I like the controls better than the Wii version of DotD.

They had to make DotD from scratch with EL, because Sierra pulled the project from Krome as they were already working on the game, which is mainly cause for Spyro and Cynder suddenly becoming teenagers and new character designs as an attempt to draw in an audience that is growing up with Spyro. The only thing they updated more was the scenery.

PYROX · Apr 22, 2009 9:02 AM

In the first place I bought Dotd for Wii, but later I also bought it for 360.
But really...I don't see THAT much differences between the graphics..
the 360 has only some things more..For example, in the Valley of Avalar, there are some more flowers, bugs, trees, etc. ...But that's all.
They did a great job on the Wii!
So in my opinion it's worth buying;)

spyroNcynder · Apr 22, 2009 2:41 PM

I will never have a Wii therefore I will never get DOTD for the Wii becauses Wiis suck in my opinion.
