– Bozon liked it – Gave the game an 8.5
– Runs 60 FPS, looks beautiful, technically awesome
– A lot of exploration
– Remote access droid is pretty cool
– Only downside is that you shoot at a lot of floating robots – Become repetitive – Worlds look the same
– Still a really fun game – pretty rewarding
– Seems to be inspired my Metroid
– Story neat as well
– Bozon thinks best FPS on DS is still Metroid Prime Hunters
– Hope to get news on Wii game soon

I’m trying something a little different for this review. Since Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon follows the same storyline in both the Wii and DS version, I’m combining the reviews into one while also explaining the unique features of each version.

Dawn of the Dragon is the 3rd game and final game in the Legend of Spyro series. The storyline revolves around Spyro recruiting the help of an unlikely ally, Cynder (a former enemy), to face Malefor, the Dark Master. Malefor has engulfed the world with evil, and Spryo must use all his power to stop the Dark Master.

One of the key elements in both the Wii and DS versions, is the ability to switch between Spyro and Cynder at any point during the game. Each character has different powers with their own unique capabilities. Spyro uses powers based on elements such as Fire, Earth, and Ice, while Cynder uses darker powers. All enemies in the game respond differently to different attacks based on their own element. So if you’re fighting an ice monster, your best bet is going to be Spyro’s Fire attacks. These powers are completely upgradeable throughout the game by gaining experience points from fallen foes. Newer attacks will produce more damage and even armor can be upgraded for both Spyro and Cynder to increase their defense stats.

Software Sales

We expect software sales for December, 2008 to come in at $2.7 billion, a 14% increase over last year. This was primarily driven by the next-generation home and portable software titles. Unit sales are likely to increase by 12% over last year with a modest 2% increase in the average selling price (ASP). The 2% increase in ASP differs from current trends as the growth in ASPs over the years has played a tremendous role in driving sales. We believe that heavy retail discounting, an increased competitive environment, and a greater than expected surge in DS and Wii game sales all played a significant role in driving down the yearly ASP growth.
