Gamespot gave it a good review whilst IGN's was poor.
I ended up agreeing with IGN. The game sucked. <.<

It was obvious they put a lot of effort into it. Considerably long, lots of collectables, playable characters other than Spyro, minigames, extras, great graphics, puzzles...
Music wasn't all that great though.
well lets be honist they don't rate games down for its music now do we? XD
anyway i think its a sence of "ITS SPYRO EWW LETS KILL IT CXAZ EVERY1HATES IT!!!" type crap.

Kinda like X-Play's review of Shadow Legacy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSDZKRzT9wA

They made fun of it, but they didn't lie much...

Some of them have valid points. I don't really like to throw $60 down the toilet, so I always check to see what kind of reviews games get. I make sure to check multiple sites to get a wider picture, but usually when a large group of people from different sites agree that something is bad, they're right.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Cree Summer's voice was the only thing I liked about Cynder. Christina Ricci just...no. I'm sure she's a fine actor, but I wanted to jam a pen in my ears every time Cynder talked in DotD. I feel bad that they wasted so much money paying just for her name in the credits.

THANK you.

LoS wasn't the best, certainly. And the voice acting wasn't stellar, but it wasn't as bad as the voice acting in A Hero's Tail. I don't have any complaints about Gary Oldman. Kevin Michael Richardson is an experienced voice actor, so he was decent. Corey Burton and Jeff Bennett are also seasoned voice actors so, again, no complaints. David Spade was alright.
Elijah Wood definitely could've been better. Wayne Brady... no. Blair Underwood was alright. Christina Ricci was horrid.
Cree Summer was probably the best VA for Cynder, all said and done. Mae Whitman was alright.

The Elders were great, I thought. So was Cree Summer. The rest of them...eh. But Christina Ricci was the worst.

I never said these ratings were a good representation. I wanted to make the contrast between the players' reviews vs. gamer mags' reviews. Kind of a "part 2" from the best spyro games poll topic.
