Dawn Of the Dragon? Sucks Sucks Sucks >_<. I KNEW they'll make the name something like that. Dawn of the Dragon Sounds like the first game, the game where he was born or atleast when he first discovers his powers. THe Darkest hour sounds much better, MUCH MUCH BETTER. AS for the cast, i agree, changing the voices sucks but like others i think i'll get used to it.

Mark's been trying to escape from Luke's shadow for well nigh 35 years. So he tries other things that will make fans forget the hero of the classic series. Hence the Joker part. Same reason why Elijah played a pyscho in Sin Ciity, he didn't want to be typecast as Frodo for the rest of his life. unfortunately, like Mark, Elijah will never escape that defining role completely. He'll have Frodo etched on his gravestone.

Mark Hamill also voiced Luke Skywalker, which was a shocker for me. He went from hero to villain.

Mark Hamill makes this game made of epic win. All my money belongs to Vivendi, especially, if Mark Hamill uses his Joker-voice.

'The Darkest Hour' was more fitting, but I don't have anything against 'Dawn of the Dragon' either.
I want more info!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and I have to wait till 10 pm to get it.

LOL! BOOM! BWUURK! HAHAHAHAHAHA. FIRST IMAGE ROFL?!

Actually, it's logical to merge both titles:

"Dawn of the Darkest Hour".

Whoaaa. Be cautious when you search Christina Ricci in google images ... Wow ...
Anyways, I think Wayne Brady will be great for Sparx(?). Funny man.
Blair Underwood seems so familiar. I just can't pick out where I recognize him from ...
And I agree that "The Darkest Hour" was more fitting than "Dawn of the Dragon." Oh well.

Edit: Oh. Found out that Christina Ricci had a role in the movie Speed Racer. Found a vid of her talking on youtube. I don't like it.

Christina Ricci is an actress who has apperared in such films as the Addams Family (She played Wednesday) and casper. She's actually a very good actress, although I don't know if she's done much voice-over work before. It will be very interesting to see how she does thev role of Cynder. I imagine they couldn't get Mae to reprise her role.. she must have had commitments that prevented her from doing the role again..

So it was true all along. I suspect ToTheGame just got the information sooner than they were supposed to, and were asked to take it down shortly after. See, not everything you read on the internet is false. XD

I'm also rather disappointed about the changes. The Darkest Hour was catchy and fitting, while Dawn of the Dragon just confuses me; I'm not sure what they're going for with that.

As for the voices, I loved Mae Whitman as Cynder, and Billy West as Sparx had really grown on me, so of course I'm disappointed. I'm not at all familiar with Christina Ricci, and I only know Wayne Brady from Whose Line Is It Anyway?; I reserve judgment until I've heard them in-character, but I can't imagine Sparx with Wayne's voice. It's too deep, for one thing.

Oh well...change is nothing new for Spyro. I know I'll adapt easily. And to me, having Mark Hamill as the Dark Master is plenty of consolation. XD

I also preferred The Darkest Hour. I'm a little disappointed they changed it to Dawn of the Dragon. He's facing the 'Dark Master', after all.

And IMHO The Darkest Hour would have fit in the series better - A New Beginning | The Eternal Night | The Darkest Hour. But, that's just me.

I know what you mean. The Darkest Hour is better name.
