Now, he can fly for as long as he likes, which changes the game's flow dramatically. He's no longer the baby dragon he's been for the last few games. Starting with The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, the games have focused more on cinematic action and high adventure than collect-a-hundred-of-these platforming.ĭawn of the Dragon is set three years after the previous game, and Spyro's gotten a little older in the intervening time. Last year, Sierra began to try to reinvent the character from a kid-friendly, vaguely self-aware platformer hero (ever play A Hero's Tail?

Reprising their roles as the characters of Spyro and his mentor Ignitus, are two popular Hollywood leading men, Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Gary Oldman (Sirius Black from the Harry Potter films). As evil spreads over the world, Spyro and Cynder must discover new abilities and unlock their true powers to defeat Malefor and stop him from destroying the world. In this third chapter of the epic Legend of Spyro® trilogy, Spyro must fulfill his destiny and face the Dark Master.
