Spyro is tilting the scales....
Basically this game is different. In the early PS1 games spyro was for small kids, who want little fighting and loads of collecting. The makers soon realized this is not what most of the 7+ people wanted and changed it. after many sequels they came up with the best and most balanced game; A heros tail. That was my favourite because it was very well balanced and did not have a set path for you to follow, it had some collecting and some fighting which balanced out and made a very enjoyable game.

With Eternal night the scales have switched sides from too much collecting to too much fighting. The graphics have much improved and the characters tweaked i mean they have RUINED SPARKS! its hard to explain but he aint' what he used to be! but the game is very playable and is very fun, the only major floor is that you cant choose where to save, resulting in longer play when you want to stop. The wii controls are excellent and make the game much better than on PS2 say. This is a great adventure game made interesting with the fighting styles and the challenges that you face. buy this game if you are 12+ because it will be very appealing.

If you are 10 or less this isn't the game for you as collecting in this game is fighting (you get jewels from eliminating bad guys)

BUT IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED HEROS TAIL BUY THAT INSTEAD AS IT IS THE BEST ON IN THE SERIES!

Spyro evolves
I had Spyro on PS1 many years ago, and I've actually found Eternal Night much more playable. Am only about 3 hours in so far, but the game takes you through the various controls in a very simple way as you begin to play, so they're not hard to pick up.

As the other reviewers have said, it is much darker than the PS1 Spyro game (well, so far at least), and is also different in terms of the game play. Eternal Night doesn't have the annoying repetitiveness of the PS1 game where you were constantly hunting for that last jewel; instead it builds on the problem solving and bashing enemies parts, and jewels are needed for other things like energy and special abilities.

All in all a great evolution of a fun game.

Not one for Spyro Fans
I have played all the Spyro games to date and I hated this one. There are no similarities to its predecessors and the controls are awkward and take some getting used to. It is very dark and not what I was expecting at all. Spyro was a great game and they should not have changed the formula I think I'll go and trade this one in!!
