If you've been hoping for a platformer/beat-em-up to lay it down on the GBA, then look to this title for your down-laying needs. Legend of Spyro: Eternal Night has it all -- gorgeous backgrounds, slick physics, and a badical combo system. We would describe the combat as Devil May Cry meets Astro Boy: Omega Factor. Think we're pulling your leg? Swoop past the post break for a 50-hit combo clip. We had no idea games like this we're still being made for the dying handheld!

Wow. From humble beginnings of burning sheep to death to being able to hold his own against Ryu of Street Fighter. Kudos little dragon. I actually look forward to giving this a try.

Wow. I never thought I would ever look forward to another Spyro game in my entire life, but this game actually looks really cool. I'd like to eventually have a Spyro game where he's a huge adult dragon capable of cleaving smaller enemies in half with a single blow though. That would be awesome.

Only thing I played of the Spyro series was the first on PlayStation (which was awesome) and a demo of the sequel (which was also pretty good, I think).
This does look like a pretty good game. I may look into it.

Wow, gotta agree with the previous posters - this does look pretty good, especially for a GBA game!
The combo / elemental gem powers system looks pretty fun.

O.o I uh... I think I'm going to buy that. I have fond memories of the little guy, but I hadn't wanted to touch a new Spyro game in aeons. This could be cool.
And please, guys, please - than/then!
Maybe it's all the proofing I've had to do lately, but honestly, you eat my brain cells when you do that.

> awesome
Isn't it just another retro-looking platformer?
What so awesome about it? That it - though looks differently - plays the same as Mario? As if you haven't played Mario enough in last two decades.
"Boring" to more or less everybody who hadn't played NES/SNES/SEGA/whatever.

Wow, did you even look at the video "Ihar `Philips` Filipau"? How is that like Mario? Since when did Mario do 50-hit juggle combos combining air, ground, melee, and ranged attacks? Mario is a platformer focused on jumping puzzles. This is a beat-em-up focused on extreme combat. The only similarity is the perspective of the camera.
