I wanted to like this one I really did but there is a bit too much that drags it down for me. The games graphics look terrible and are a massive downgrade from the previous generation. It’s 50 hours long and while I think that makes it worthy of its price it has the negative effect of have to much dialogue. A lot of people have been saying even in the previous generations that the Pokemon games should have voice actors and while I wouldn’t have mind it I wasn’t going to be that bothered if it wasn’t. But this game is so long and now I completely agree that they need voice acting. Finally it’s decision with its opening world. The way they presented this game made it seem like you could go to whatever gym or challenge you wanted in any order, which I thought would be great. They did do that but in one of the worst ways possible, The third gym leader I fought was the Highest leveled gym leader in the game. The games presented itself as a place to freely roam around, but in reality there is an order it wants you to follow and you’re going to have to figure that out for yourself, which really drags it down for me. I still had some good fun with it for the most of it, but there were so many points that just left a bad taste in my mouth. Not the worst Pokémon games ever made though.

This trilogy is Highly underrated in my opinion. I know it’s not going to be for everyone but I had a very good time with this game and about a year later I introduced it to a friend of mine and they loved it. If you are thinking about playing this Beat ‘em Up game, the Ice Breath is pretty useless, Fire is pretty good, Electric Breath and Earth breath are awesome so focused on upgrading those, you’ll thank Me. Another thing to note is that the game doesn’t have a difficulty setting. I think the game’s difficulty is perfect the way it is and I never thought when playing this game that it was Impossible or unfair. The Boss fights in this game are also really fun too.

Of the Trilogy, this game is easily the best one in my opinion. The Story is at its strongest, the boss fights are incredible, the graphics still look amazing even to this day, it fixes issues from the previous two entries and much more. While it’s definitely the most different in the games of its trilogy, I believe it was for the best because this Game is awesome and I would definitely call it a hidden Gem. Also, one more thing to note: If by chance you will be playing this on the wii, keep the nunchuck and the remote far away from each other, otherwise the characters you play as will constantly try to block.

If you are a gamer who likes ridiculously hard games, this is the game for you. If you played the first game in the series and want to continue with the trilogy, then I urge you to look up a walkthrough to find the dragon relics (items that make you stronger). This is a 7 hour game and in my first play through, it took me 22 hours to beat it, and that was using the OP Dark Spyro cheat code. On my second attempt when I didn’t use cheat codes but instead went out of my way to find all the relics, I beat this in 11 hours. In some ways, this game improves upon the first in the trilogy, but in a lot of ways it regresses. There is also a certain level in the game that drags on way longer than it should have. While it’s definitely my least favorite in the trilogy, I’m still glad I got to play it. I just wish it could’ve been better. One more thing, Ice and Fire are your best breaths in the game, but make sure to upgrade the other breaths some too, you’ll thank me.
