Never played this game, but it looks like garbage. This game was also panned by a lot of critics for its bad 3D engine and slow framerate, repetitive gameplay, and various other technical issues. But I will admit: the music is very good, and the dark tone of the game is also well done. This DS Spyro adventure revolves around switching from two dimensions: the light and happy world Spyro usually lives in, and the scary, dark, empty version of that world (known as the Shadow Realm). Dear God, is the Shadow Realm scary. This music is no short of unsettling and will give you anxiety the second it starts playing. It conveys the sense that you are alone, you are not safe, you don't belong here, the world has fallen into darkness. Not only is this nightmarish music playing, but this freaky realm is also filled with some evil, nasty-looking enemies that make disgusting sounds and they even appear in areas where enemies normally wouldn't lurk, like in somebody's home. Other than that, the realm is mostly empty with very little bystanders except for some victims you occasionally are forced to save. None of your good ol' pals are here to hold your hand either. Just you.

Not only does this song play when you check the remaining bosses that are left to beat in Puggsy, but it also plays during the anti-piracy screen. Yeah, this game does have an anti-piracy system (and a very scary one). When the game detects that you have a pirated copy of the game, after you defeat the first boss, the anti-piracy screen, while playing this spooky tune, will tell you, "O.K. That's all of the levels of Puggsy you're allowed to play. Now go and play a cartridge copy of the game instead of this silly copy. Until then....bye." -Traveller's Tales 93'. While it is a creative way to scare off pirates (since pirating is illegal), it scared those who attempted to emulate the game, too.
