Huge production values with a few frustrating moments. Unlike Crash Bandicoot Spyro the Dragon's career […]

+ Super voice acting; + Co-op is a blast; + Combat is surprisingly deep

Slowdown plagues large conflicts; Sometimes resorts to a button masher; Frustrating camera

Spyro debuts in his first Xbox 360 outing, complete with a new co-op element, and as much as I hate to say it, hopefully this is his last time on the platform. Find out what I'm talking about in the full review.

Co-op can make the game better with a friend

It can be boring; and glitchy

The Legend of Spyro series has few connections to the original line of games and is a re-imagining that is focussed on fighting as opposed to jumping, and brings in a host of celebrities to voice the cast of characters.

Dawn of the Dragon departs from the earlier games in the series by letting you take flight at any time. A few presses of the jump button have you take to the air, but this new ability doesn't end up having much of an impact on the overall gameplay.

Gorgeous visuals and a thrilling score create a vivid fantasy world; Convenient local co-op lets second player drop in or out at any time; Good variety of elemental powers at your disposal

Combat is uninteresting and sometimes tedious; Unfocused level design can lead to aimless wandering; When playing solo; the AI-controlled teammate can sometimes get stuck; Control of the camera is too limited; Story borrows too much inspiration from elsewhere

Dating back to the PlayStation One days, Spyro the purple dragon has been with us for quite some time. Not being familiar with the series I was very curious to see what the action and adventure based game was all about.

Once again it's that time when we critics swarm down onto the latest release of a dying series, and tear what little life there once was from the rotting corpse of the franchise; we are the vultures and you are our family waiting to be fed.

Spyro has been around for quite some time now and since his incarnation on the PlayStation, our little dragon has come a long way. Although our colourful and fire breathing dragon has had a few ups and downs in his career, Spyro Dawn of the Dragon is the latest title of the franchise which not only...

As kids’ games go this is a step in the right direction but too many of the old problems raise their ugly head, not that the kids will notice mind you.

This game could have fared far worse, but it keeps itself sitting right on the mediocre line. Long-time Spyro fans should pick it up and enjoy it for what it is. The rest of us will find our platforming fun elsewhere.

Finally!! A good Spyro game. Granted its not as amazing as the very first one on the PS1, but it still is much better then the ones that came out for the PS2. The overall game is fun, witty, and easy (but not to easy) A great game for the family and Spyro lovers, it has a co-op mode (only offline, I...
