The Legend Of Spyro: The Eternal Night (PS2)

The Eternal Night proves to be a most prophetic name for what is undoubtedly Spyro's darkest gaming hour. Fans accept the series hasn't hit the same highs in recent years as the original trilogy managed on the PSOne, but Spyro's fall, even since 2004's decent A Hero's Tail, is simply cosmic. A New Beginning (the first Legend Of Spyro venture) was decidedly lacking in content but still showcased a few encouraging new concepts that, if built upon, could revitalise the series... ...But as it turns out, developers Krome have actually taken a large step backwards from their lukewarm starter. The Eternal Night is poorly programmed, severely repetitive and at times ...  Read the complete review

Another edition to the failing Spyro series has just manged to possibly puit the final nail in the coffin. Every since the hugly sucessful first Spyro game, the series has been getting progressively worse and I'm sad to report that this one follows suit. The storyline is unoriginal as Spryo (before reuniting with Cynder) has to first save the world once again. Things begin to get fairly onimous and eventually you discover the Ape King has set out to free the Dark Master and so another advernture begins. For gaming sake - and Laziness on the designers part - conviniently Spyro has lost his dragon breath and has to get it back. This makes the gameplay very poor ...  Read the complete review

This Spyro game, the 2nd of the series, really does not at all push its limit to the maximum. There are some really cool features of the game from the special slow motion features and slow motion attack, where Spyro stops time, and the tunes really are brilliant. But on the other hand the controls are like the most hardest controls that I have ever known! For instance just to get up one simple tree you need to press about 4 or 5 buttons, all at once and in a sequence for 2 or 3 times. And that, believe it or not is extremely frustrating. And also the slow-motion thing makes it impossible to complete at times, and is so unappropriate, you usually will have to get rid of ...  Read the complete review

Genre: Platform Game/Action Game Creator: Insomniac Games Developer: Krome Studios Spyro the dragon is a great game for family and friends to play and this is the second game of the trilogy. Elijah Wood and Gar Oldman's vocals are used to cover the voices of Spyro and Ignitus. This game was first released on October 2007 for the PS2 and developed by Krome Studios. The main aim of this sequel is to go through each stage and then defeat the boss at the end - the same as many other games really. Spyro goes through the game picking up new breathes which he obtains through dreams. Another skill Spyro obtains is the ability ...  Read the complete review

I was a huge, massive fan of the old PS1 Spyro games. Spyro the Dragon, Gateway to Glimmer and Year of the Dragon were three great games, each one being original, highly enjoyable and very memorable. But since Spyro has entered the world of the PS2, things haven't quite been the same. The game itself follows the same sort of pattern as its previous games, but it lacks the highly fun sparkle of the old games. It takes a while to get into and once you're into it it's not the best either. The graphics are good quality but they're nothing special either. The game suffers from repetition and eventually becomes boring. It feels harsh for me to be ...  Read the complete review
