I personally think that it is a good addition, but does anyone dislike the idea?

I LLOOOOOVVVEESSS IT!!!!

I loved it, one of, if not the best thing about DotD IMO

In our times good game cannot exist with multiplayer or coop. It's like a criterion. Nobody wants to play against AI, alive buddy is better.

I like it with or without co-op play. They both have advantages and disadvantages:

Single-Player advantages:
-Chain is mostly non-existent when travelling under normal circumstances.
-Slower-paced and easier to think, if that's what you prefer.
-Go where you want.

Single-Player disadvantages:
-AI Dragon doesn't fight effectively.
-More lonely!

Multi-player advantages:
-Two humans fight more effectively than one human and an AI player.
-You can communicate, and therefore perform platforming more effectively.
-Two heads are better than one when looking for hidden items!
-You have someone to talk to!
-Malefor is a much better final boss in co-op.

Multi-player disadvantages:
-If your playing with a player who isn't that good, or is just plain unco-operative, the whole game can be frustrating to play.
-Easier to die
-Chain can occasionally be bothersome, but it actually creates funny moments more often than frustrating ones!

Overall, I probably prefer co-op. Too bad I rarely get anyone to play with. My best friend played through the whole game with me once, but now he doesn't want to play it for a while. :/

I can never get enough of it!

Malefor is harder in co-op as he has much more health, stronger attacks, and two targets.

When the AI has a heavy orb thingy, it functions terribly. It was near impossible. Good thing i got another person to help.

I think this is stated perfectly!

The only problem I see with Cooperative Play is if you and your partner can kill each other. For example, in the Lego Video Game Series (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc.), in cooperative play you can kill your partner and they can kill you (whether it be accidentally or on purpose). That's the only problem I have with cooperative play. You shouldn't be able to kill or even hurt your partner. I'm not sure if it's in The Legend Of Spyro: Dawn Of The Dragon or not, but if it is, I haven't noticed it when playing with a friend.

But besides that, it was a great addition to the Spyro universe. Playing with a friend was a fulfilling experience for me. Now I have a game of Spyro to show my friends that they can play with me whilst I explain the games to them.

Why thank you!

I'm able to handle the orbs well on my own. I've put up with much worse awkward mechanics in games, especially in Son...*shot*

@SpyroGamer2008: That doesn't happen in DotD. but I wish it did!

I actually like the idea of being able to hurt your partner..... It just makes the game that much more difficult, being made aware of what can happen and all. DotD doesn't do that, sadly (but I'm not complaining).

I just wish I could for the hell of it!!
I could make Spyro real dirty that way! >:3

LOL, yes. Partners can kill each other in lots of games. My brother owns both Indiana Jones and Star Wars games and he's constantly killing me when I play with him. And in my Kim Possible game, when you use multiplayer in minigames you can kill each other there too. It's kinda annoying.

In regards to killing each other in co-op.....I have one game to mention.....
Sonic Colours......it...is...hilarious....

It was good!

I don't really care about multiplayer. I've enjoyed the earlier Spyro games, GTA and Tomb Raider without it, don't see any point in it really.

I never got any good use out of it since none of my friends want to play it and I only have one control. T_T

It's fine, but could have been better.

+ Good idea.
- Poor execution.

Another good thing about the co-op....
One charcter is male...one is female.....the two characters are in love.....
This is the perfect game to play with the missus(did I spell it right?)!

I personally feel that online play as a Custom Dragon may be better

It's hardly considered multiplayer when the other dragon is stupidly slowly you down whether another person is controlling it or not.

Much rather prefer online multiplayer.

^Maybe the person you were playing with was bad at the game?

Me too... Too bad I don't have anyone to play with

I had mixed feelings. I know that my friend, who's really new to video games, got it, and had trouble with the controls. So I came over, and guided her on 2P mode. It was fun, and she got used to the controls, but I don't like how Spyro and Cynder are linked up to each other all the time.


Plus, I rarely ever use 2P mode, 'cause my brothers refuse to play it, and I've only played it with two of my friends. .-.

I think that's called griefing or friendly fire. It can be something fun to do if you're just wondering around and are far from your destination.
