Advantages: Get to be a dragon, slow motion

Disadvantages: Slow motion at the wrong places, much more

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 an important item because of it, and really does not help your quest at all!

I don't really get the whole idea of the game anyway. For instance one minute your on your quest battling and fighting some moments, the next your knocked out or sleeping, in some sort of fighting ring. It really is so confusing, I think the makers of this game rushed the game too much to be honest.

The attack moves really aren't good enough to satisfy the game play. I mean the main move is some usual headbutt which gets some real annoying moments sometimes. And as in other games when you lose you usually get it right the next time. But in this game, oh no, you can never get it right by your self, you actually need to ask for help on the internet. And its proved as loads of other people asked the same question aswell. So its really sort of an impossible game, and with out help you probably would not get anywhere!

The worst things of the game are the glitches, these are extremely annoying, you try and try to get to a particular place and when you do be able to get there you find out that there's nothing up there and just simply slide back down, and that what I call a glitch. So it would be much better if you had a game guide with you to do the right stuff and moves.

Overall I do think it is a game that had a bit of a rush to the making of it, I will have to admit that it would be so much better if the creators had put more time into the game, as it is not at all that much of an enjoyable game. Not really a game to be happy about. I give it 3 stars.

Summary: Not at all a great game
