Re: It's all good...

Praised for it's "appeal to children", I think that its great that Activision have kept to the "light-hearted" Spyro that everybofy loved back in the first 3 games, if this game is anything like them, I would be more than tempted to buy. (Comparing a peerfect 5 to some of the reviews the LOS Series had.)

Re: It's all good...

I agree with Stormy 100% on this one. What I meant about the hat thing is that if I pay money for a toy, it's the toy I'm buying, and it shouldn't include content that the game should already be featuring. At the very most, if it MUST have some sort of in game bonus, make it something that won't make me mad for not already being in the game for free. Stormy's other point was the other aspect of what I was saying. If I see a game for over $60, it had better be a collector's edition, not the most basic edition, because $60 is expensive enough.

I don't mind giving them extra money. The Spyro franchise needs it to survive at the momment.

Re: It's all good...

While I do agree it would be better if you could play as 30 characters by just buying the game, Activision seems to be hoping for this game to be its #1 moneymaker for now, so, as we all know, that's not really about to happen. (Unless someone makes some kind of cheat device to access characters without the Portal toy, if that's even possible.)

So long as the idea of "You MUST buy a new toy to access this part of the level!" doesn't become too intrusive, and the gameplay is fun independent of which toy you're using, I don't think it's a huge problem. (Unless it causes the game to be too expensive for the casual player, come to think of it. But if it's a good game hopefully it'll be worth the price.)

Anyways, that's my two cents on the toy gimmick.
