    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]

    Spyro hasn't the strength to soar into the realms of a must buy title but he's got more than enough stamina to hover above the current crop of average platformers. [Christmas 2007, p.74]

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

    This looks a bit lightweight when you think it's this or "Galaxy" for the same price, but it's a decent addition to Sypro's post-PlayStation gameography. [Christmas 2007, p.62]

    The gameplay is fine but it really needs freshening up to make it more appealing.

    Spyro's gameplay works just like it's suppose to--just like it has in every other game in the last decade, so it feels like the development team just phoned this one in. [Nov 2007, p.142]

    Spyro continues his quest for mediocrity in yet another frustrating, unoriginal adventure.

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

    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.… Full Review »

    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.… Full Review »

    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. The graphics are amazing and the voice couldnt be better. Plus who doesnt love a game with a cute purple dragon that can kick some major but.… Full Review »
