    that glitch you found isn't the only one, I encountered two fairly game breaking ones in the "Avalar level" when you get caged and have to use magic to move a block to enter a cave and escape, the block can fail to move and if you use the teleport spell to escape (yeah good job developer not exspecting players to use first when imprisioned) and then talk to the people in the area the screen goes messes up and I can't remember if it shuts the system down or if I did it out of fear, but when it turns back on you lose huge amounts of progress. I think part of the probelem of this game is its believed that the series rights holders were of two minds on how to continue it, one side wanted to go in a more kid friendly direction with edutainment games while allowing the character to keep most of his image while still being considered family friendly brand that could be put on merch, one education game was planned and desgined but never released and the overly childish java phone games reflect this (one is literally a fairy dress up game), this might have been due to the 90s/early 2000s platformer characters having a idenity crisis trying to "stay relevent" sonic and rayman being the best examples. The other mind was to go the route Jak and Daxter had by taking the series in a darker "more mature" direction so it could "grow up with the audiance", this mindset won out resualting in the legend of sseries which was desgined to chase the trends of the hack & slash and story focused games craze of the time which was made on for the time a low budget, the reasons for theses very different directions was most likely a hail mary to save the series as it was kown for a while the series might get sold off or sunset and frankly I would put money on it being the reason for this game's idenity crisis where it can't decide if it wants to be like DS's action rpgs or a colourful adventure game for young children.

    btw, my accent is American, but I also think some title changes in America don’t make sense. I definitely prefer Harry Potter and the *Philosopher’s* Stone, over the *Sorcerer’s* Stone, and I also think Spyro 2 *Gateway to Glimmer* makes more sense than *Ripto’s Rage*

    There are 2 stand-out things about this story that you didn’t mention:
    1. The antagonist of this game is called the sorcerer. How original 🙄
    2. Moneybags, of all people, has a wife. and kids.

    I still think Enter the Dragonfly is worse. At least Shadow Legacy has one very important thing over it, which is being actually functional.
    As a developer myself, I find it unacceptable for a game (or any kind of application) to launch like Enter the Dragonfly and Sonic 06 did. Quality control exists for a reason.

    I just remembered this game out of nowhere. Watched some gameplay footage before this and yeah i didn't really look that great to play or control.

    Just as a note the British accent WAS the American one. They just invented a new one because of how ashamed you were of losing to them. So yeah sticking with them would have lead to.....exactly the same accent. Also dude You might not have enjoyed it but others did. Sure the dialogue is not great but that's actually pretty standard for ds and Spyro games in general lets be honest. (grammar edit)

    I think Spyro Fusion is the worst one, but to be fair I never played any Spyro game on the DS

    Unrelated, but have you thought of reviewing multiplayer-based games?

      “multiplayer-based” is pretty broad, but i do plan to review some games that are ideally played with mates so look forward to that :]

    is this just a rage bait channel attempt to lure in an addicted negative audience without having to struggle to entice a real basic sense audience?
    nothing here was actually said about the game, things were repeated without any context, a made up incoherence about the knowing of some spyro characters is exactly as, nonsensical that it is, and contrary to the reality? and all the while when anything is to start being addressed, its instead mumbo jumbo jargon evading its self initiation, only to sound like some blank gamer infomercial youd see at the gamestop counter tv (randomly presenting its own obliviousness to how senses and the basic concept of products work)? and all the while contradicts the whole point of even breathing, playing games, or making the video itself? it was such a waste of context, time, and a self-ironic deconstruction of character (following suit of the pandered negative audience's inherent despair to life itself)
    it just sounds completely meta-ironic, anti-life, and a complete aboherent cover up to appeal to people who are more worried about how others see them anyway...
    it sounds like the disgust of attempting to grab at the contrary-audience (as planned) was reinstated back at the subject in hopes that very audience would somehow start caring? (only to sabotage the plan and then potentially fall victim to the faults of why such a contrarian audience isnt one to go by?)
    instead just also hurting ones self to waste their own time, effort, emotions, and passion, on something they wouldnt go against, (and again) as well as worry about those who would be better off avoided (aka those contrary to life)?
    it would be less effort and more beneficial to play any game like this, see it as it is, and finish it within the fews or less that it takes and move on to other things... (especially if its a distraction from what cant be dealt with, if it even avoids it or gets you out of such situations?...)

      Of course it’s going to seem like a rage bait channel if you ONLY watch the negative ones…
      There are plenty of positive ones as well. It’s on you if you choose to watch them or not :]

      @@Torran2Glitchy doesnt make sense again. your trying to refute the statement by admitting its purely a 'bad echo chamber' promoter? as well as admit its just to inefficiently bait views? why would people of basic sense unwillingly enforce themselves to things of no interest or if at all, motive?
      in that case, what really is the point of anything other than pandering to an inevitably dead and loud minority audience/uninterested majority of generalized individuals?
      it of course has no monetary downside, but it achieves little to any benefit, and only looks to bring yourself down and have people who arent going to meet, fight. why sabotage?

    You think the way Americans talked back in 2005 was bad? Come over here and see just how bad things really are.
    This game looks way too much like the Zelda CDI games to be good.

    Yes, this is the worst spyro game ever made. Shadow legacy makes enter the dragonfly look like a masterpiece.

  • @glasperle77

    I think the whole spyro triology is the worst ( eternal night saga etc.) but the remakes are also horrible leaning onto it....why all dragons have to be super americanized-humanized and even poor sparx is a mystery to me. why spyro gets so weird distorted as well
