What makes these worse than the other PS2 entries to the series? I don't know. Enter the Dragonfly was broken, which made that bad. A Hero's Tail just wasn't very engaging. They just lacked the charm Insomniac brought to the series, I think, but they tried. The Legend of Spyro just disregards charm and tries to make something.... I don't know. It just makes me mad. xD
Is that the one where they redesigned him and made him look terrible? Because I had a feeling that was going to suck from the get-go. You run out of fire breath? I don't even.

The first three games are classics and I refuse to acknowledge anything after that.
That's probably Skylanders you're thinking of, but it's not that one. There was one last attempt to make Spyro important again with The Legend of Spyro before he took a backseat in the Skylanders games. Elijah Wood voices Spyro in these particular games.

All our lovely retro mascots, having their name driven into the mud!
The same goes for Crash.
Crash Bandicoot somehow never dropped to the depths of crappiness like The Legend of Spyro. There was just a distinct lack of trying and quality with the Crash games.
