Spoilers Spyro
Good graphics but the story can be confusing if you dont play the first 2 games. Spyro the dragon, I thought was better though because of the less complicated gameplay, a super long story. Though the ending is unique because Cinder falls in love with Spyro, but it leaves you hanging, did Spyro and Cinder die or not? I dont think they did but you dont know for sure, I like how Ignitus turnes into the chronocaler though

WATCH AFTER THE CREDITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't miss it! Nothing is as it seems. After every Legend of Spyro game, there's something after the credits. This time, it's the ending. Yes, you heard that right. Once you get to the credits, you can hit the start button and skip the cutscene if you want to hurry up and get to the ending clip. I've tested it, it works. You'll see the clip if you don't do that, this is just for impatient people, like me. ***END SPOILER*** At the end of the game, it's implied that Spyro died very heart-wrenchingly. But don't sell the game just yet! After the credits, it's shown that Spyro is alive, uninjured, flying happily in Avalar, in the world he has brought back to peace. There's other stuff after the credits but I won't spoil everything. I fell over onto the couch when I found out he was alive. I didn't faint, I just thought it would be funny. I got up and started crying tears of joy, which wasn't a joke. I cried at a video game. I've been a Spyro fan since the first game and I couldn't stand to see the little guy go. But he didn't! *sob, sob, cry* Please make another Spyro game. They're so stinking cool! Especially compared to the old games. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please!***SPOILER OVER*** This game is completely devoid of bad language. The same goes for the rest of the trilogy. Well, actually, in this game, Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx go to a dam and... well, they had to make a pun. There is no dirty stuff whatsoever and I like that about this game. The closest this game gets to anything mushy is one use of the phrase "I love you" which is the most romantical thing in the whole trilogy. No kisses or anything else gross. There's no blood but this game still scrapes by with its E10+ rating. The story alone can get so intense, I almost want to say it should have been rated T. The actual beating up of things is okay for an E10+ game but a few of the creatures you fight may look too scary for sensitive 10-year-olds. Of course, me being a teenager, my jaw dropped from how awesome the monsters looked. The gameplay is brilliant compared to the last two games. Are you kidding, EVERYTHING'S brilliant compared to the last two games! It's also much longer compared to the first two games. I like long games. There's a level select with about sixty-seven levels. It takes the average person sixty-seven days to beat one of them. But you can get help from a friend with the new co-op feature. I mean, if Cynder's going to follow Spyro for the whole trip, she should be a playable character, right? Why can't they make more games with a plot as great as this? Why can't they make more games with a plot? I like games with stories, as long as there aren't too many cutscenes but there's plenty of fighting. Anyway, this is one of the best games you'll ever play in your life, or at least it will be if you play it. I'm kinda glad they cancelled the movie, though. If they're going to base it off the exact plot of the game like they said they would, it's going to be... unimaginitive. Maybe they can make one with a different plot in a few years but I'm glad they didn't do what sounded like re-animating all the game's cutscenes and putting them on the bigscreen. It just wouldn't make the game seem as cool. But the game was AMAZING!!! The controls are simple, but the game's a little hard. It's funny, exciting and real cool-looking. It's my dream game.

Good game for all ages SORRY ABOUT MY SPELLING!
This is a good famile game. If you have kids (Or if your are a kid of a teed for that madder) who like video games this is a must have. So in short this is a must have for just about any one. I do have a few complints about this game thoe, the fighting (Which is most of the game) can get rather violent, but their is no blood or gore of any kind not even in the cut seens. Also their is a little mild languege, the main charectors are blowing up a dam and of corse some one had to make a pun, but thats all for the cussing. The bad guys may scare some younger ones all thoe my three year old lil bro plays this game with out a problom. Now on to the good stuff! The game has a positive morel, the heros are fighting to stop the fighting (Yes that may sound a little wird but you have to play it to under stand). The main hero (Spyro) is selfless and is willing to put others before him self. Spyro's brother (Sparx) forgives another cheactor (Cynder) after holding a grudge for most of the game (And all of the previos game). Now to get on to the gameplay, this is an avrege action game, if you like games such as Star Wars The Foce Unleashed you'll love this game. You have two melay atacks, a grab atack and two magic atacks (Not like Harry Potter but like Last Air Bender elemental magic) and each charector (Spyro and Cynder) have 4 elements they can use. The bigest down side is some of the levels are cind of confusing, I spent nearly two hours trying to find whare the heck to go in one of the levels. If you like a good story tied in to your games you will NOT be dissapoited this game's story is beader then most movies. The cheactors are well developed and their are a few big plot twists. Just be warned this is the third game in a trilagey and will make no since what so ever if you haven't played the first two ( A new biginning and The eternail night) And sadly Eternal night isn't as famile frendly as the other two are. But if you let your kid play legend of zelda it should be fine. Any ways I'm getting off topic. This is a grate game for any one as long as you can stand some violence and one case of d--n. Oh yea one more warning if you can't stand romace there is a little at the end. (SORRY ABOUT MY SPELLING!!!!!!)

THE LEGEND OF SPYRO: DAWN OF THE DRAGON - What parents need to know.
THE LEGEND OF SPYRO: DAWN OF THE DRAGON is one of the best Spyro games that I've played for the Playstation 3. The Legend Of Spyro Trilogy has a great plot and is just plain fun! There is no adult content. Younger players will enjoy the gameplay and experience, and older teens (14 and up) and adults will enjoy the story and voice talents by talented stars. Spyro is voiced by Elijah Wood. Cynder (in this game) is voiced by Christina Ricci. Sparx was voiced by David Spade, Billy West, and (in this game) Wayne Brady. Ignitus is voiced by Gary Oldman. Hunter is voiced by Blair Underwood. Malefor (AKA The Dark Master) is voiced by Mark Hamill. Kevin Michael Richardson as Terrador, Chief Prowlus, Hermit. Corey Burton as Volteer, Mason, Additional Voices. Jeff Bennett as Cyril, Additional Voices. Martin Jarvis as The Chronicler. Fred Tatasciore as Meadow, Additional Voices. Chris Wilson as Additional Voices. Michael Graham as Additional Voices. Spyro and Cynder do have a secret relationship. They both love each other, but never say it until the very end when Cynder whispers "I love you" to Spyro. Overall, I'd rate this game 9.5/10 and would be a good "Family Game".
