Sierra announced the second entry in The Legend of Spyro trilogy. Scheduled for release fall 2007, The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, developed by Krome Studios and Amaze Entertainment, is a scorching jump'n run game featuring Lord of the Rings' Elijah Wood as Spyro and Harry Potter's Gary Oldman as the dragon Ignitus.
Hit jump for screens
GuG Writer, Casey Covel does a review of The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night on the Wii.
This addition to the hugely popular Spyro franchise, The Eternal Night continues were "A New Beginning" left off. A new villain, Gaul the Ape King, now threatens our hero and is going to resurrect the Dark Master on the Night of Eternal Darkness. You must battle your way through challenging levels and defeat the usually Spyro enemies to reach the Ape King and prevent the resurrection.
Phoenix Games sat down to play this one, expecting to play a good game (Spyro games usually are) but was presented with something else. This game wasn't good at all. First, the controls of Spyro are flawed. Many times the double jump doesn't work and Spyro falls to his death and you must replay that area all over again. Just your average jump and glide can be difficult to execute.
Spyro continues his quest for mediocrity in yet another frustrating, unoriginal adventure.
The Good
* Special attacks and slow motion sometimes come together to make
for fun moments
* Lovely soundtrack.
The Bad
* Constant knockback attacks make the difficulty frustratingly
inconsistent
* Awkward controls
* Slow-motion mechanic is unnecessary and improperly balanced.
why the ps2 version arguably looks better than the wii version?

Hope it is out on 360 and PS3 too (sorry if it is and i missed it).
Havent played any Spyro games since spyro 3 on Psone. Another great franchise ruined by a takeover (Crash Bandicoot anyone?) hopefully a revival can take place!
