I think everything sucks about it except the graphics and the fact that you can fly & have two players without a split screen. That's it. XD

Yet the fact that they've grown is itself a paradox, a temporal paradox. If they're frozen in time in that crystal, how could the physically age? It's like being cryogenically frozen.

i had never actually taken into consideration what the game would be like if Krome had made it. it's cool to think about. but disappointing. the game itself was awesome, the GENERAL plot, the gameplay, the levels/graphics, but as said about 1,000,000 times before: there were a lot of holes in the plots, which probably wouldn't have happened if Krome had done it. and Malefor, another negative aspect that's been mentioned 1,000,000 times. he was so easy. i was expecting this really hard boss, from what i was hearing in ANB and TEN, and then it's that? it was so easy for me. he probably would have been harder.

though, i actually like DOTD's character designs [excepting Ignitus's constant smiling] and how they're bigger than in ANB/TEN. imo it shows more how they've all grown since then.

Krome should have made it. It's not fair that they got it snatched. Is it me or was the game going to be called 'The Darkest Hour' when Krome were making it? I swear it was.

And yes, about 75% pf the Spyro fanbase are people who have never played the other Spyro games, only DotD.

Yes they should have let Krome complete the games, I hate it when development studios switch over..It's like the Mummy Movies....you get a certain feeling from the first two because the director and actors gave them a certain vibe...but as soon as things change in that regard...it just isn't the same.

Well... I just had the feeling krome was gonna take the story SO much further!!! Well in the 2nd game they were talking about "the shattered vail"
and a bunch of other stuff... I feel like we missed out dude. :'(

Well EL didn't have much of a window to make the game. Krome was already pretty far into making the game when they got canned, unfortunately. So it's as if EL had to start over from scratch with a shorter time-frame due to Krome being dismissed. Had they stuck with Krome there might have been fewer glitches, plotholes, etc. since Krome had what they already worked on, plus the time that EL was given.

Yes... if only they had put more time and effort into it, it could have been far better!

I also some wat expected quests not mission objectives in mini missions. i really wanted an "Full world map" kinda like WOW or something and maybe with an online feature to team up with other players. such as one plays spyro and one Cynder kinda like RE5.

That's certainly how they should have done it, but of course...being them...they had to rush everything to get it out for the anniversary or whatever. Such a shame really...the game had great potential had they fully grasped how to present it.

*sigh*
It's an ok game...not great or awesome...
Free fly is pretty awesome though. FINALLY! But the plotholes...
Music is cool. I liked it so much I downloaded almost all the soundtracks...execpt The Destroyer cause I can't find it anywhere!

I know things aren't always what you expect but...the trailers just made the game seem so awesome but the game itself was so different..
I mean when I first saw the pictures in The Valley of Avalar and the info about free roaming I thought it was going to be more of a long adventure game like the other two. THEY where...DoTD just...failed. Too short, places weren't that big....I could go on...

DoTD: A fun game! Two player co-op: Awesome!
4/10

*shrug* I don't know...just gonna have to wait and see about the other games and what they're going to do...

Krome's prolly wouldn't have looked as good but the story would have been more solid I'm pretty sure. Who knows, doesn't matter now.

I think that Krome was adding up for somthing way cooler but at the end they got sold out and the new guys just finished up and took all the glory for kromes original plot... I think the only reasone they did as well as they did is that they finnally added long wanted elements like free flight.
We or at least I , have wanted to see free flight sice Spyro the dragon #1
If krome had finished itself I think It would have been way differen't! wether it would have been better or worse .... I don't think we will ever know!
