The Legend Of Spyro: The Eternal Night

I can definitely appreciate the team's attempt in bringing the true Spyro 3D experience to the Nintendo DS - it's honestly about time. But the game still feels like a step backwards: clumsy storytelling, awkward gameplay, wonky camera, and awful boss battles. The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night is still far better than the first Spyro outing that appeared on the Nintendo DS, but it fails to keep the momentum going after last year's decent title…even if it's trying to do far more than A New Beginning ever did.

" All things said, The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night is a likeable adventure. While it contains many frustrating aspects that gamers would do well to stand, there’s something in the game that makes it oddly appealing. It’s a game that’s hard to dislike when it comes down to the facts, even if it has far too many things wrong with it. Kind of like eating melted chocolate off your toes, then."
