Too Difficult? No, I don't think so.

Well, IGN gave The Legend of Spyro: TEN a "3.5" because the game was too hard. Yes, too hard! It was too hard!

Excerpt from PS2 review:
"it's ridiculously difficult in certain areas"
"The Eternal Night eventually ends up being too difficult "
"The biggest problem with Eternal Night is just how da*n difficult it is."

Oh, oh, oh.... Difficult? Difficult! DIFFICULT!!! Those reviewers can do God of War, Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy but Spyro? Those critics can't handle Spyro! The critics are DEFECTIVE. Not the game.

This game is fine with me, it's so challenging. <_<

Post here for comments about the game's difficulty. smile

I found it hard, but not fun hard, irritating boring and annoying hard.

It sure is challenging, but I love challenges. And if its not challenging its rating would be much lower cause game would be too easy.
So its better that its challenging than too easy. I had hard times playing it especially in bosses. But still I finished them some day.

What IGN was saying is that TEN was hard in a way that is unfair, boring, annoying, repetitive, and just plain bad gameplay design. I happen to agree with them. Many other games are harder, but they are hard in a way that allows the player to learn on the way. With TEN, you get the stuffing beat out of you by a mob of apes and you can't do anything about it, and then you have to start over from the beginning. I enjoyed TEN, but even I was ready to snap the disc in half at least twice because of certain obnoxious battles.

the battles with the apes were easy in my opinion, it was just the bosses and a few extra parts that wanted me to flush the dic down the toilet

It got stuck on a few bits but it isn't too hard! I finished it in less then a month! Though I hated it when you had to start something all over again! Gee.. that annoyed me in so many ways.

Razz · Feb 29, 2008 12:35 PM

Except for Skabb, I didn't have too much trouble with the boss fights. It was hordes of apes/monsters that kept killing me with sheer force of numbers.

That....stupid...wave of dead ghouls and yaks.....killed me soo much I wanted to BASH UP MEH TV DIEEEEEEE STUPID GAME DIEEEEEEE.

Razz · Feb 29, 2008 6:54 PM

In the IGN review, when the guy said there was one point that he just stopped playing at, I KNOW it was that thing with the ghouls and yaks. That fight sucked! D:

Ugh, that wave fight with the ghoul swordmen and yaks on Malefor was annoying yes. I died about... 5 times from that before I figured out an alternative, hehe. On the platform that you jump off to get to the ground with all those waves, just do a double jump, use the electric orb, and make it explode to send the yaks into the air. Wait for the yaks to become 3d again, and keep repeating. There's a green gem behind it that gives infinite gems, so you can just keep recharging electric orb XD. Tip though: Avoid the ghoul's magic attacks (when they're in their armor), and you'll be fine.

I think the game difficulty really VARIES. It jumped up and down from too hard, to easy to hard, to easy. It was more how they LAID OUT the fights that bothered me.

Remember in ANB the enemies were easy to beat and never came back after being defeated? That, plus the fact that it's an unlimited lives game, made it easy to complete. I guess some people moaned it was too easy so Sierra took that part out for TEN - and then went to the oppositeend of the scale. All of a sudden dying from one dumb ape sent you back to the beginning of a really major challenge that took you ages to complete.

I notice that you're quite close to my age, so I guess with us being odler we just find the game a little easier than some.

Doppelgangergang · Mar 01, 2008 5:29 AM

For me, TEN is really hard. But for me it is "Fun" type of hard. But I could see not all peeps can handle the difficulty. My brother just quit because it was too hard. Yeah, even me take hours to complete a section. It's fun for me! (Yay! I DID it!)

Razz · Mar 01, 2008 2:33 PM

TEN was kind of fun but kind of not for me. I much prefer ANB out of the two so far. I've got a low frustration tolerance and TEN sets it off pretty quickly.

36ILikeSpyro36 · Mar 01, 2008 6:34 PM

TEN is really hard O_O
there was this one part in that forest near the beginning. i died like 10 times before i beat that one part >_<

ratchet · Mar 01, 2008 10:20 PM

as i've said before, TEN wasn't fun hard, but frustrating boring hard

I thought TEN was a little hard but it was fun to play, the end was teh hardest. (:)

ratchet · Mar 03, 2008 7:07 AM

"And you thought finding that d*** pencil was hard..." Yes i did, and in a fun way, unlike TEN

DragonFireOKN · Mar 04, 2008 1:17 AM

I thought that the game was challenging. Skabb gave me some serious trouble though. I nearly chucked my PS3 controller.

Voltier1 · Mar 04, 2008 1:33 AM

I like when you do all the challanges and are able to use dark spyro, it's sooo fun. (:) smile
