Review of The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

I've only played spyro 2, and spyro 3 and enjoyed them, so when I saw this one on the discount shelf, I wasn't sure about buying it, but my younger brother wanted it, well, we bought it, and I can honestly say, it was a disappointment. The portals that took spyro to different worlds were gone, and replaced with certain themed levels with enemies that took too long to kill, and getting through them would put you on the edge of sanity(getting killed multiple times for no apparent reason), I finally beat the game hoping to acquire a power flame attack like in spyro 2, instead, I got dark spyro, the only redeeming quality of the entire game. another issue: spyro himself(regular spyro) , I hate to say it, but he looks awful, I mean come on, they've had ten years to improve him and they turned out with this! he is nothing like he used to be! heck, he looks and sounds nervous, I didn't know whether to continue playing the level, or try to find him some psychiatric help! as for his powers, I was infuriated to find that he has a magic bar that has to be refilled, I got killed many times trying to get to a green crystal, i'll cut to the chase, if you have a short temper, stay away from this game. if you don't already have spyro 2, go and try to find a copy. If you have the money to burn, go ahead and rent "the eternal night". I like spyro 2 because it doesn't keep you in the same level for what seems like eternity, spyro isn't nervous, and simply because it's more original. The only reason I would recommend "the eternal night" is dark spyro, although it takes forever to unlock.
