XboxGameZone writes: "Back in the late 1990s, when the Playstation 1 ruled the roost and the idea of a Microsoft console was a pipedream, there were two indominatable forces when it came to likeable platformer characters: Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. They weren't quite up there with the likes of Mario and Sonic but boy did they try! The first two Spyro games on the Playstation 1 were great fun, providing arguably some of the best experiences on the system for platformer fans. However, the Spyro series lost its way a bit over the years. The Playstation 2 and Xbox games garnered average to reasonable reviews, but they somewhat lacked in the magic that the earlier games provided. The latter two of these games provided the Legend of Spyro series, and this is where Dawn of the Dragon enters, as the culmination of that trilogy. Dawn of the Dragon also has the honour of being the first Spyro game on the Xbox 360."
