, this time featuring Ignitus and a corrupted Cynder, both from the Legend of Spyro series. Fun games those, or at least, I enjoy them, and they certainly told a neat story. Sure I've said this before, but these three games are one of only 2 times where a built up game bad guy has really lived up to his hype, as the big bad of Legends is just that good, and for good reason too. Fun times.

Hmm, Arc the Lad had a few, though that was spread across over 24 main cast members, and several games. Heck, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits had two protags who were at odds throughout the game, and even tried to kill each other, but were both, to be blunt, moral people in their own ways.
Now, the big difference is the sheer scope of her arc. This was a planned trilogy, and while they cut corners and stuff(Just look at the sheer amount cut from game 3), they were dedicated to pulling off a three game story.
Like I said, the big bad is my Gold Standard for living up to his hype. Throughout two games, you are told, if he escapes his prison, he will win. And what happens? He wins. Oh, you might stop him, or delay him, but nothing you do can do more to him than that.
But he's made believable by Spyro himself. In game 1, weeds can kill him if you're not careful at first, by the end, he tears through armies. Same thing with games 2 and 3, you grow in power quickly, because of the purple power inside.
The big bad is a purple himself, but one that is fully grown, and fully developed. It makes sense then, that with even more time to play with his powers, nothing Spyro can do can be more than a delay, until Spyro takes him to a place where he can be stopped.

Not the best story to me...13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is probably up there for that at the moment as just the most complex story, and of course then you compete with all the RPGs and stuff I've played. That said, it was good enough, and as I commented on, Malefor remains one of the best villains in terms of build up and pay off.
