I think this is 1 of the best games on Playstation. I have Spyro 1 and Spyro 2 (I can't find Spyro: Year of the dragon). I have 24 games and I have rented at least 60 games, this is, after Carmageddon and Destruction Derby Raw, the best game I have ever played. Some people think this game is for babies, but it's actually kind of hard to see everything in the game: getting all the gems, orbs, talking to everybody, the epilogue,...So I think everybody who has a Playstation has to play this game at least once. But I can tell you, once you begin, you won't stop until you have seen everything in this GREAT game. That was it.
Neatest game in the galaxy!

I loved this game! As soon as I saw it on T.V. my heart skipped a beat and I got it in about two weeks.Autumn Plains was probably one of best worlds.It was real fun.If you get a number of orbs and gems you go to a vacation place for Spyro and you to play. It's very fun to figure out and play .The new moves are great! You'll fall into the world of dragons if you play this game!
Coolest Game Ever!!!!!!!!!

If you're looking for a game with plenty of fun, then this is it. It's got something for basically everyone. You play as Spyro, a Dragon, who has to help a Scientist fix this machine by getting him orbs. It's a simple plot, but a very amazing game all together. I can't believe how much I enjoyed this. Everytime I hand it over to my friend though, it's a mistake, they can't let go of the controller. My friend stayed up all night one night at my house just playing this game..dangerous if you want to be with your friend and not your friend playing a game, lol. Anyway, the only slightly dissappointing thing ( not dissappointing enough to take away a star ^_~ ), was that the replay value was pretty good. It's the kind of game which you can play over again the next day, stop, and then play again maybe a week later. There's also a special secret you get to use in all your games if you complete it once. ^_~ This is a great buy, and WELL worth the money.
AWESOME

(CONTINUED)
Worlds and Realms
Avalar has three Home Worlds:Summer Forest, Autumn Plains,
and Winter Tundra. Within each Home World are many realms. You must travel to each realm, help the inhabitants fight off Ripto's forces and win a talisment. You must also win orbs by accepting challenges.
You begin the adventure in the realm of Glimmer. Help the Gemcutters there, win your first talisment and a portal to the Home World of Summer Forest will appear.
Ripto has taken over the world of Summer Forest. You must kick him out of the castle before entering Autumn Plains.
Talisments and Orbs
Talisments
Most of all the realms in Summer Forest and Autumn Plains contain a talisment that you must win. Speedways don't contain talsiments. Talisments are important because winning them is your only way of entering Ripto's hideouts. To gain talisments, help the beings in each realm. If you are successful, they will reward you with a talisment. When you win a talisment, it becomespart of the Guidebook and gives Spyro magical powers. Gain enough talisment power, and you unlock the doors to Ripto's hideouts.
Orbs
All of the realms in Avalar contain orbs. Orbs can open portals and doors. Never pass up the chance to win an orb! You win orbs, most of the time, by completing challenges from the inhabitants of Avalar. The challenge may be a game such as a puzzle or athetic event. It might also be a task you do to help someone.
1.Find out about challenges by talking to characters during your travels.
2.When a character challenges you, say YES or NO by selecting it in the dialogue box that appears and press the x button. If you don't want to accept a challenge, you can select NO and come back later.
You need orbs because:
1.Sometimes they activate closed portals/doors.
2.They are Spyro's only way of ever getting to Dragon Shores.
Navigating Between Home Worlds
The main area to each world is called the Home World. This is where you enter the world, and where you'll leave it after collecting the talisment. When you are in one Home World, you can warp to another Home World using one of the Warp platforms.

This could easily be my favorite of the PSX Spyro games. It's hard to collect enough orbs to get to Ripto himself, but other than that, it's GREAT! I highly recommend this game to anyone else who isn't that good at video games and of course, to anyone who plays video games.

...in this awesome, cool game. If you've played the first Spyro game, then you're probably gonna like the second one. This game is also a platform/adventure game like the first. But this sequel is even better! How? The graphics are pretty much the same, if not, improved. The story shifts into the world of Avalar and a whole sequence of events occur. In this game, you must collect 64 orbs by completing tasks all over the 3 worlds : Summer Forest, Autumn Spring, and Winter Tundra. This was the first PSX game I ever bought and owned. I LOVE this game and recommend it to... EVERYONE who loves adventure and platform games.
