Hamill, Ricci to star in Spyro game

By Ellie Gibson Published 28 April, 2008

Oldman and Wood back too.

Sierra has confirmed that the latest instalment in the Spyro series will feature the voices of several Hollywood stars.

Elijah Wood is reprising his role as the title character in Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, while Gary Oldman will once again play Ignitus.

But this time round Christina Ricci is providing the voice of Cynder. And most excitingly, Luke Skywalker will play the Dark Master.

Sparx will be played by Wayne Brady, famous in America for being a comedian and selling a milk subsitute called International Delight . In news almost as exciting as the thing about Mark Hamill, Blair Underwood will play Hunter. You know, out of LA Law. He's also in some modern days thing called Dirty Sexy Money that's probably popular with the kids who have probably never even heard of Corbin Bernsen.

Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is coming to PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2 and DS in October. Sierra was showing off the 360 version at its Spring Break event last week, and it looks like a real step up for the series. Expect more details soon.

    Yeah, well, I wasn't too impressed with how they screwed up the latest Crash game.

    "a milk subsitute called International Delight" [left the spelling mistake in there to embarrass EG].

    Funny that it's not very international, because I don't think anyone's heard of it over 'here'.

    It's a shame Insomniac aren't involved with the Spyro series anymore. The first three PSone games were really good. Then it all rather went downhill.

    Corbin Bernsen is great on Psych. Never heard of him before that though! >.>

    I loved the original PS1 trilogy. Each level had their own unique design too, you were never left feeling cheated because there was always something new to do. Great platformers, which alone with the Crash series defined how good platforming adventures can be. In fact I've ordered Spyro 2, just to relive some old memories ^_^

    Mark Hamill is an excellent voice actor able to do a diversity of different characters very well.
    He was fantastic in GK1 as Mosely and in Full Throttle among others.

    However his talent and the Hollywood names are wasted in a kiddy game like this.
