 or a game whose primary audience is clearly a slightly younger crowd, Spyro’s latest effort can nonetheless boast some impressive production values. Strong voicework from Elijah Wood in the lead role and David Spade as his sidekick propel the fairy tale story forward. Bright and colorful palettes abound in the visuals, with a heaping helping of particle effects and explosions that almost flood the screen at times. If the gameplay was as exciting as the game was to look at and listen to, I’d label this a great title regardless of your age. Unfortunately, the entire affair is filled with repeated waves of what amount to the exact same enemies, and it doesn’t take long for boredom to set in. If they were going to go for an all-action approach with almost no platforming or puzzles, the combat needed some more depth. In this case, that primary activity in the game of beating up baddies is pretty mindless, and fails to elevate the title to anything above average.
