All of the budget went towards Elijah Wood as Spyro, Mark Hamil as Malefor, and Gary Oldman as Ignitus and it shows. They do the Dumbledore funeral scene with Ignitus the Red Fire Dragon and all the dragon ghosts are also all just the same character model. There's also a level where Spyro and Cynder walk into a village full of cheetahs and literally every single cheetah is the same character model just with palette swaps. At one point Spyro weepily says that he can't fight Cynder because "he'll have nothing left to fight for" while they run Mark Hamil through about 50 different voice filters until he's undecipherable without the subtitles. Spyro's ability to transform into "Dark Spyro" when he's feeling strong emotions makes a return in pivotal cutscenes and it's still a stupid idea. THE LEGEND OF SPYRO: DAWN OF THE DRAGON is one of the years best, albeit occasionally flawed, platformers. After being trapped in a magic time statis rock with his goth gf Cynder for several years so that they can sneakily change the art style, Spyro is A TEENAGER now which means this game has to have Spyro flirt with Cynder, who now has dragon boobs and a wasp thin waist since she also hit puberty, while the game takes an agonizingly long time to finally get to Malefor and get this thing over with. What a deeply embarrassing nightmare of a game with a deeply embarrassing story that hits every single tired beat.
