Planet Xbox 360 writes: "Let's cut straight to the chase, the prominence of the old Spyro titles may never return, but that may be for the better. Nostalgia can be so strong that it can blind gamers into thinking that games of their childhood have stood the test of the time. I'll admit that a few of the Spyro titles in the past had charm, but they've never struck a chord of testing the boundaries for originality. So with that said, can Activision Blizzard turn the franchise around after several years of floundering? The short answer: no. The longer answer: The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon has its bright moments." 7.1/10
