I have never played or been interested in vidio games..but Ds just turned 4 and someone gave him a used playstaation. It has a demo disc with a game called Spyro. It is a little purple dragon who runs around a really cool field with castles and he collects gems and burns up creatures with his little flame.

The game is so cool. Me and Ds are addicited. But there are sme things we can't do....

Fly onto some ledges to kill some bad guys or collect jewels

a mean wizard won't let us into a tower..

There are some more, but my baby is crying...

please ask your kids how to do these things!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks...fiona

The baby is fine now....

There are treasure boxes made of stone. How do you open them?

There is a guy in an air balloon that says "I will take you for a ride in September. How do you get on the balloon? Can you?

Occasionally we pick up a key. What is it for?

I understand that we only have a demo. So it comes with no instructions and there are probably actions that we can't do...but I want to go as far as I can on this demo because it os so much fun. We will be buying this game really soon....

But there has to be a way to fly up to the ledges at least!

I know that someones kid is an expert here so I hope to hear from one of them!!

My ds loves this game!!! He turned 5 in April and has been playing for about a year. It is one of the few video games I like. I'm certainly not addicted but I can stand to play every so often. You can glide by pressing the X button and then pushing again at the top of his jump. Some of the enemies have to be beaten with fire breathing and some by charging. You'll have to try one and then the other and see if one of those works. If you breathe fire onto the treasure chests they should pop open. The hot air balloon will take you to different worlds if you have completed the one you are in. I don't think you can go to another world with the demo disk. The September statement is refering to the game's release date. I don't know what the keys are for but I'll ask my ds or my dh (he likes it too!) what it is for. They are in bed right now!

Okay.....the keys are for opening chests, but you have to find the one that needs the key. I think the breathing fire thing and the charging thing are what you need. My kids say there is something called 'super charging'...."you run down a really really big hill you should be going really fast this way and then hit the treasure chest" (these are their words not mine) I too was addicted to this game....almost beat it...the kids did. You'll learn more as you play. The actual game is a lot of fun....my 13yo claims the demo disc stinks
Good luck....have lots of fun!!
