Personally, I think the game is amazing. Though TEN was slightly better I think...

If you want to get it, get an emulator.

The only place I found frustrating was the "fight" with Leviathan in Warfang :I I've played it with my sister, and We were like "-We're dodging this way! -No, We're dodging this way!" and then we both got smacked in the ground xD

That was one of the most terribly-designed boss battles I've ever played. Co-op was actually restrictive too because you fail if you or your partner dies. I remember being so nervous that we would *bleep* up the quick time event at the end of the battle and have to go through the whole process again...

To address the topic: In my experience it's not worth picking up, but if you're desperate for Spyro, go for it. It's a pretty looking but overall lackluster video game from a design standpoint. A lot of people did enjoy it though, so maybe you would too.

I remember when Stormy and Paranoia played that part. It was hard to watch

Not as hard as it was to play. That was probably the most frustrating part as far as we got. The catapult repairing was pretty annoying, too, though.

For $20, I would say go for it. It's very uncommon to find DotD for that cheap since it's rare for some reason. I found the game to be pretty frustrating, but you might like it. A lot of people do. And if you don't, you can always try to resell it. (I'm still hanging on to mine and might give it another try one day...)

Its not really worth $20 imo, 10 at max. (OR go my route which for legal sakes I will not mention)

Yes, we all know Moneybags is selling bootleg versions, let's try to put that behind us...

Yeah, I'm getting this on XBLA so it's just $20 and it looks beautiful honestly. Maybe it's cause I'm a sucker for this type of style of art. I haven't played a new Spyro game since Hero's Tail and I'm in the mood to play one. I also checked and...yeesh this game IS expensive...why?!

Free-Flight is the biggest reason I'm getting this lol. The difficulty won't bother me. I watched the trailer and the thing I need to get used to is the more serious tone...and Hunter...is that Hunter?

Thanks for the advice everyone I'm still not sure yet, I rarely come across money so this is like a tough decision for me, it's either this, Nights Into Dreams HD, or Season Pass for Batman Arkham Origins...MY TINY WALLET!!!

Is the game long, and is there any sort of replay value?

all three games have a lot of combat, tons more than the classics, and are pretty linear, but DOTD isn't nearly as bad with that, the enemies are a LOT more varied and most of the levels are way more suited for exploring.

main problems are that "free flight" doesn't really live up to expectations considering the invisible walls, and some of the dialogue (especially Cynder's) is, shall we say, not up to standard. whether it's worth it depends on whether you'd be okay with not having true "free flight" as it was advertised. it's a fun game for what it is and i'd recommend it.

edit: since you've never played any of the TLOS games i should also point out this is a lot harder than the classic games, and even though it's comparatively less dark, the game still has a much more serious tone than the classics.

{ Removed. Nice try. }
