NINTENDO’S WII MUSIC STRIKES A CHORD WITH MUSIC EDUCATORS

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 13, 2009 – Nintendo’s new Wii Music™ game is spreading from the family room to the classroom, thanks to newly formed collaborations with select schools and educators.

Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon Wii and DS Review

spyrodotd7_2

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.
