Fun fact: Ignitus in that cutscene where he fights the apes is technically using YOUR moveset. I was as fully upgraded in newgame plus and saw him using that cascadung firebomb upgrade, then talk to spyro as the fireballs were still going off after the upgraded fury attack was used.

I especially loved the third one, because you can finally fly freely. I also quite loved that you could switch between Spyro & Cynder - or play with a friend! Sparx having his own personality was wonderful (I thought, anyways), went really nice with this new Spyro. There’s a large part of my that wants a Spyro game that takes place while he’s an adult, but I have absolutely no clue how that would even begin.

I thought it was fun. Repetitive like you said, but fun. I even played it a couple more times at later dates. However, when I got a PS2, the main thing I wanted to get to was the Sly Cooper games (all three were out by this point). I beat 1 and 3 in three days and 2 in two days. I'll tell you right now, Eternal Night can be a little frustrating, especially the final boss. But it's worth going through for the story. Sadly, I've never gotten to play Dawn of the Dragon and had to settle for watching cutscenes on KZread. PS2 is the only platform system I have. Definitely watch the credits for the great songs too.

Most people who played Spyro growing up started with the original trilogy...I had this game, A Hero's Tail, and Enter the Dragonfly on my gamecube. This one in particular I spent countless hours beating up apes and throwing them over cliffs using the electric breath with my sister, lol. Lots of great memories attached to this janky game for me💜

Don't know why this was in my recommended but I'm glad it was. I remember loving this game as a kid and the entire trilogy. Hoping the game wasn't clouded in nostalgia I played this one again and I'm so glad I did. I still love the game. Yes the combat can be repetitive but I have a high tolerance for repetition. I was really surprised how well the visuals and the voice acting held up over the years. Story is Dark but never goes into edgelord territory (Thank god) and I can still enjoy it as an adult. Honestly I would rather have Remakes of these three games than the original (probably gonna get some odd eyes for that) but I know that's never gonna happen. Really enjoyed the video and know you have a new subscriber ready for new videos.

I think judging this series as its own thing is EXACTLY the way to go! At least in my experience, people often get mad at LoS because they go in expecting it to be a bright, funny, goofy, colourful collectathon, which is FAAAAR from what it's trying to be. It's trying to be a more serious beat-em-up, and in that regard it's amazing! But people hate it because they want it to be a funny collectathon, when that was never the point of the series... It's like going into Skyrim expecting it to be like Crash Bandicoot. Skyrim is an amazing game, but if you're looking for it to be like Crash Bandicoot you're gonna be disappointed and feel "betrayed". (That all said, if you just don't like beat-em-ups, that's fine. My point just is that I see tons of people only being disappointed because of their own expectations.)

I really glad you somewhat enjoy The Legend of Spyro so far, Toridori! I grew up with this version of Spyro, and although I agree that the combat is repetitive, I love TLoS games so much! Side note: I also grew up with the Kingdom Hearts series (I highly recommend those games BTW, and I'd love to see a review on those if you're interested and have the time and money, because the plot is deep and the gameplay is better than this)! Back to TLoS: The stereotype you mentioned (A New Beginning being okay, The Eternal Night being bad, and Dawn of the Dragon being great) is pretty accurate in my experience as a child. I like TEN a bit more now than I did (I hated it because I couldn't beat it when I was younger) but it's still my least favorite of the three, and DotD is my fav, while ANB is close to DotD because nostalgia, LOL. Regarding the characters, I think you'll like Cynder, and I love David Spade's version of Sparx! I've really enjoyed this series of Spyro - A History so far, and I'm glad I've gotten to watch all of them. I do love the classic Spyro games (I still love TLoS more tho) and I'm looking forward to the ReIgnited Trilogy in hopes that it'll be just as accurate as the N Sane Trilogy to the Crash classic trilogy.

Toridori I'm glad you have some of the KH games already! Although they are long and the plot feels convoluted at times, I definitely think it would be a good series to cover. If you did cover KH in the future, I'd be more than happy to watch! Regarding The Eternal Night, I'd definitely say it's a step up from A New Beginning in difficulty. The platforming portions of the game are more difficult than ANB provided, and a few of the bosses can be quite difficult as well. The combat was expanded upon in both melee and elemental attacks. I won't explain details because seeing the changes is part of the fun, but I think you'll like some of the changes. I'm glad you're encouraged to continue because these long, detailed videos really are great! As you explained the story, I felt as if I was playing through the game and going through the events as you spoke (like a nostalgic trip down "memory lane" even though I revisit the game often). Thanks for the reply! 😊

I played through this series in my childhood where I was a dumb kid and just enjoyed any game thrown at me. I do enjoy watching these videos seeing the games in a non-nostalgic lens although I had recently played through A New Beginning on an emulator and found some things to feel a bit different. With that in mind I look forward to your next videos on the other games, specifically Dawn of the Dragon because for reasons you'll see that game is far better than the previous two.

@ShinyGaara65

Toridori Death Battle is a series by ScrewAttack that's basically Deadliest Warrior but with fictional characters. Similar characters or iconic characters from different franchises battle it out using knowledge from ALL continuities. Boba Fett vs. Samus Aran, Dan Hikibi vs. Mr. Satan, Kratos vs. Spawn, and more recently, Crash Bandicoot vs. Spyro. The fights are animated either using sprite art or, more recently, 3D animation. It always ends in a bloody death which is why I'm not particularly fond of it. They used the Legend continuity for the Crash vs. Spyro fight but also included some details pulled right from that DeviantArt account you mentioned...specifically (and this is kind of a spoiler) how a power Spyro gets later in the series is the equivalent of atomic bomb explosions emanating from his mouth. Aether or something. Long story short, it kinda hands Spyro the win by making him waaaaaay overpowered compared to Crash.

Spyro is just...infinitely more powerful.

The whole trilogy deserves a remake. I grew up with the old Spyro games and I always loved that purple dragon

Long story but first game I had was a disk of Ripto's Rage before I got ANB on Christmas, this game just feels more captivating and like I wanna be in the world myself, had dreams I wanted to legit be laying on my back up in that spot of the Temple where you have to bash down and just be doing nothing.

I grew up with these and went through them again, I do see the quirks but a revised enemy setup would be nice aswell as some fixes but I love the story

Is it weird that most of the big name platformers went towards a combat-focus gameplay style at one point, minus Mario (unless you count the spin-offs)? Sonic just (kinda) did with Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), partially with Sonic Unleashed, kinda with Sonic Boom, and then moreso fully with Sonic Frontiers. Crash did with the Titan games. Spyro did with this series. Ratchet and Clank quickly shifted from platforming with combat to combat with platforming (if that makes sense). Jak and Daxter quickly shifted from platforming with some combat to focusing greatly on combat. It is an interesting pattern.

Aww I wish my mum was as cool as yours! She never joined in on multiplayer games with me. :(

Right away I'm going to tell you the 1st Legend of Spyro is my favorite of the triology. It's such an silplistic yet compelling start of what would've been an amazing fantasy story. You have in New Beginning an traditional Hero's jounrey tail of a hero discovering himself as he goes to confront the big bad dragon. Except with the twist the hero himself is an dragon and you as an charter who'd normally just be an villain or sometimes sidekick is fighting an long hard fight to save his race! Is it repetitive? Yes. Is Sparx annoying? Definitely. But I had such a blast with Spyro's breath ability's, the tension the world delivered, and the mostly great supporting cast I was willing to forgive it's flaws. Altough I feel they should've just finished the Shadow Legacy storyline on the Nintendo DS console for I can tell that the DS port of New Beginning was initially intended to be so. I didn't mind Spyro becoming OP via his Elder training and the darker tones (Shadow Legacy was Scarier though) since Shadow Legacy was more less that. Also I can't complain about the apes since the GBA trilogy kept reusing Rynoc's over and over again!

I love TLoS Series so much that I want to remake and remaster it 😄😍😌

That purple ability is often referred to by fans as Convexity. However, even though it's never mentioned in the games, there is a canon name for that purple ability. It's called Ether. Also, in Eternal Night, Spyro will gain a Dark Ether ability, also known as Nether. Ether and Nether are in fact canon names. Also, even Elijah Wood compared The Legend of Spyro with The Lord of the Rings.

Loved the review. Now for anyone still willing to play this game here's a tip. This game is essentially a cinimatic power trip. If you want to kill anything in under 5 seconds, use the earth secondary fire to get enimies in the air, and then jump up and spam the standard fire. Doesn't matter if there to heavy to lift either.

Toridori Don't apologise,and yes they ARE good IMO if your into turn based strategy Rpg that is. I suggest you start with Fire Emblem Awakening for the 3ds. Why Awakening?: 1-There's a free demo on the eShop. 2-It introduces many mechanics from the older titles.(without "holding your hand") 3-There are multiple difficulty settings since the game can be easily broken if you know all the details. 4-You don't need to know anything from the older games to enjoy it.

I just adored this game for it's music and story I probably replayed this game more times than anyone healthily would and I also agree on your thoughts on why there could not have been more flying levels.

I've always preferred A Hero's Tail to A New Beginning because I really hate this game's combat, but the puzzles where a decent change of pace if a bit monotonous at times. The voice acting was really good on the other hand, especially Elijah Wood who is probably my second favourite Spyro VA right behind Tom Kenny.

Great video once again, and I can appreciate almost all of your points even if I don't necessarily agree with all of them. The combat I thought worked very well and I loved comboing, but the sheer amount of combat you had to do got repetitive quickly. I ADORED the story and the characters (and I even liked Sparx!) and the graphics are lovely to look at. Overall I liked this game much more than I disliked it and, as a series, I would say I'm a big fan of TLoS but, like you, the OG trilogy will always be my favourite. Can't wait for your Eternal Night and Dawn of the Dragon videos!

It might be because I'm not great at hack and slash games with lots of combos. Playing games like Bayonetta or DMC, I just mash mash mash and hope for the best hah... I would have been less harsh if, as you said, it wasn't so repetitive. More enemy varieties would have helped! Overall though, it was a fun experience. :)

I think it would have been cool if the rumoured Purple Dragon statue you see was meant to be THE original Spyro as a fully grown Dragon. Hey the game is already REALLY formulaic (turning Spyro into a destined hero, Moses imagery with the egg floating down the river, and a pretty by-the-numbers story), who not throw in reincarnation too? At least so there were SOME link to the classic PS1 trilogy we all love. I know Hunter shows up later but it's clearly not THAT Hunter.

@@ToridoriGaming Thanks for your reply, I find your videos VERY interesting, informative AND entertaining. Given they make reference to the Classic Trilogy with Hunter and Avalarr Valley, adding in stronger ties wouldn't be impossible. My guess is back in A New Beginning they hadn't yet decided the statue would be that of Malefor, I think his name was only revealed in the The Eternal Night or Dawn of the Dragon. Before that it was just some nebulous Dark Master far as I can recall. So I imagine they just had it as some generic Elder Dragon and LATER decided to retcon it into being Malefor. Could be that was from before he turned evil and they kept the statue around as a reminder of their failure. The Dragon Elders seem to dwell on their mistakes, as Ignitus does saying he failed Spyro and Cynder.

Everything changed when the dark armies attacked. Only Spyro, master of all four elements, could stop them.

This was a very good unbiased view of this game. I personally was in the hate camp...I remember getting it for Christmas when I was around 11. I had loved the original trilogy, been disappointed by ETD and didn't mind AHT and wasn't sure what I'd think of this. Unfortunately I just found the whole game really depressing...the murky colours, the doomy plot line and vibe, the endless loud and repetitive combat (it was particularly bad playing this for me as my grandfather has recently passed and my mum was very sad, so hearing the violent sound effects would make her rly upset). This game unfortunately sucked all the joy and heart out of spyro for me...I'm just so glad reignited rekindled it.

I'd actually recommend trying the GBA versions for A New Beginning and The Eternal Night.

You're the second person to say that actually! I will probably stick with PS2 as that's what I've done for whole series, but I'll definitely mention GBA The Eternal Night in next video, so thank you. :D

One main issue with this trilogy is that it tries to be dark, but can't divorce itself from the lightheartedness the original had. So what you get is a mish-mash of both, and not in a good way. It's weird, because I love it when someone can make it work, like in the Avatar series, Steven Universe and such. But all I see here is "Look! This is cool and EDGY!"

Still an improvement on Enter the Dragonfly though. :D

i can play this game all day long tbh, and hardly ever get boring. I used to play the game once a week from the beginning towards the end in only one day playthrough

This was my first Spyro game ever and I love it and it was the ps2 version

We were OBSESSED with this trilogy back in 2010-2013. Had some of the most memorable and creative fanfictions on the internet which were on par in quality to several published books. For some strange reason, that was the most memorable experience of my entire life.

Legend of Spyro was pretty decent, I do wish they had tried to keep it closer to the original as the gameplay did feel like a slog but story wise I loved it. Eternal Night is actually my fav of the trilogy, ending had me in tears tbh, I liked Dawn of the Dragon but story wise it tends to contradict all the build up in the previous two games its like they were trying to retcon their own story for shock value. Oh oh, if you haven't heard them yet give the songs from the end of Eternal and Dawn of the Dragon a listen even if you don't like the games themselves those songs are gorgeous. Btw I love your Spyro history vids, I love that you give each game a fair chance and don't just rip them apart for the sake of it.

I gotta agree, despite loving this series to this day that i never cared for the gameplay itself, i just wanted to see more of the story and cynder is honestly one of the most interesting characters, im not one for prophecies so with spyro having one it really turned me off his character and spark annoyed me too. When i was young i thought this was the spyro everyone loved but now i know there is an older series but honestly maybe cause i grew up with this series but i just cant really get all that invested in classic spyro. I think a lot of the games lack due to tight time restraints, i think dawn of the dragon suffers most however, which is a shame cause that game had probably the most potential, i only liked it cause you could finally be cynder. Honestly they should remake this series into a book series or even a comic series instead, a lot of fans have and it works pretty well, it's a shame that the lacking gameplay turns away a lot of people so they dont stick around long enough to get invested in this story which has a lot of potential, especially if it wasnt so child friendly and focused more of the war aspect and the whole idea of spyro and cynder been the last dragons alive in their generation was never really focused on which i found a waste cause it would give them a motivation to try to find if others exist or just add stress on the two, cynder was given very little attention for what she deserves, she's only rarely shown to be truly regretful for what she's done and it really needs to be explored further, like surely after doing something like probably murdering millions no one can just act normal unless they're a psychopath but then again it was as i assumed aimed towards kids so it would of been scary to see cynder slowly loose her mind or lash out in physcotic rants, but yeah cynder could of been done a lot better especially if the developers were given more time but a lot of game developers have deadlines so i guess it cant really excuse the gameplay
