Some things get better with time, and -- according to our testers -- so does Spyro, the one-player game that features a small, flying, fire-breathing dragon. For the first time, Spyro can fly at any time in the game, creating many new possibilities. This time, you can team with his enemy, Cynder, in a mission to stop the evil Dark Master. This cooperative drop-in/drop-out play allows you to complete the game as either Spyro or Cynder, giving you more ways to explore Spyro's world with a friend. The game also features new attack moves/combos, enemies, and environments. Developed by Etranges Libellules (PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, ad PS2) and Tantalus (DS). Note that features vary according to playform. We tested the Wii version. Prices are $50 for the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360, $40 for the PS2 version, and $30 for the DS.
