Developed by Etranges Libellules (Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii, PlayStation 2) and Tantalus (Nintendo DS), The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon introduces two never before seen elements into the Spyro universe: Spyro can now fly at any time and gamers can play together with the new cooperative feature.
