Less likeable is Sparx, Spyro’s dragonfly mate, who used to be a good laugh back in the day, but is now a pain in the arse. The voice-acting’s also impressive for the most part, with Elijah Wood returning to voice the purple lad alongside the likes of Gary Oldman and Christina Ricci.
For the most part it’s an extremely detailed and atmospheric game, with some nice graphical set-pieces and the like. You know when the very first thing a game chucks at you is a load of enemies followed by a huge God of War-style boss battle involving a giant rock monster attacking you from a pit of lava that Dawn of the Dragon is trying its best to impress.
