Should I get this game?

I've never played ANY of the Legend of Spyro games, but I'm thinking about getting this one, is their anything I should know about before I play this? I don't care about story spoilers, I just want to know if this is worth the $20...Thanks...

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...)

nine normal levels, and one final boss. which makes it sound like ETD, but with all the combat and all the different things they tend to have you doing (you'd be surprised how much you can accomplish in one giant field), the gameplay is definitely more involved than ETD could hope to be. also with the collectibles and elite enemies, that gives you something to do, too. i personally think this has tons of replay value, it's one of the only games i bother replaying anymore. tongue

Never ask what I'd do for a klondike bar. No one wants to go down that road.

Re: Should I get this game?

I saw "rare." Maybe I can help you guys on why this game I "rare." You know how Vivendi got sued for an epilepsy issue in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly? I believe that was sometime after TEN's release, because it eventually triggered a warning message for all mothers in the world to not get the game for their kids. One day, I picked up a copy of DotD, and my mom said to put it back, since it'll cause a seizure. She then pointed to the orange oval that read "pressure sensitive," telling me that this is a warning for the to very likely cause me a seizure. That's not what it means, but the message must have subconsciously got to her from an employee. When also placing in how parents heard their kids saying that TEN was "too hard," and some other evidence I'd rather not mention, it makes sense that this game would sell like a box of blank movie films - the authentic ones - would sell nowadays.

If you want to get it, get an emulator.

Re: Should I get this game?

The Wii version lacks a lot of visual effect. If you have an xbox 360/ps3, I suggest you get one of those.

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

I haven't had the opportunity to play Dawn Of The Dragon, but I have played A New Beginning.  But I found A New Beginning hard!  But my mother's friend is letting me borrow her Dawn Of The Dragon, so I'll see what it's like then. smile
