  • Summary: The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night continues the strong action-infused gameplay focus established in The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning and takes it even further with new powers, including: Four new, upgradeable Breath Attacks (one for each element type), such as Ice Bomb, Electric Orb, Earth Vine, Enhanced Fire; Four new elemental melee moves, including Comet Dash, Artic Blast, Earth Pound, Electric Spin; Four new Fury attacks – Earth, Electricity, Ice, Fire; Monstrous new and explosive boss battles against the likes of Skabb the Pirate, Gaul the Ape King and more. The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night also expands Spyro's combat arsenal by adding "Dragon Time," a new advanced move that allows Spyro to bend time to his will. Players can engage Dragon Time to dodge attacks, out-maneuver enemies or solve tricky time-based environmental puzzles. [Sierra Entertainment]… Expand

    What Insomniac began Krome have now made completely their own, taking Spyro from a lighthearted adventure to a hardcore dark platformer. [Nov 2007, p.56]

    It does feel like an eternal night when you're playing it, due to the repetitive gameplay and lack of detail and innovation.

    The biggest problem with Eternal Night is just how pointlessly difficult it is.

    I loved spryo for a long time and when it was given to me as a present i thought it was going to be terrible cause it was on the wii, but I honestly have fallen in love with the game again.

    Although it starts out quite interesting, overall Eternal Night is dreary, dark and incredibly repetitive. Many boss fights are re-hashes or direct copies with new models from the previous game. The abilities are the same, although now they are less powerful, less practical, and burn through your magic bar at a remarkable rate, making all but fire pointless except for solving puzzles. Having to relearn them as you go makes no sense, A few hours playing it will have you craving a bit of sunshine and bright colour. The environments are all dark and dreary and depressing.… Expand

    Everything that I loved about the original Playstation Spyro games is gone. I applaud Sierra's courage in reinventing such an established game. However, it fails to recapture the persistently popular elements that had made Spyro games so enjoyable. This is the Spyro franchise's death.… Expand
