Preview, by Thomas Wilde: "The Spyro series has been essentially furniture for a long time; the games are popular with casual players, but they're practically invisible to people with a more hardcore mindset. The Legend of Spyro series is a pretty bold move when you look at it that way." (May 7, 2008)
Preview, by Crispin Boyer: "The game focuses on combat, with different attacks and grapples available depending on whether Spyro is airborne or on the ground. Collecting special Spirit Gems lets you customize the dragon's combat specialty." (April 28, 2008)
