Spyro beats most 3D platformers

Action/platform games have been around since the days of the Nintendo. The Sony PlayStation has had its share of platformers, but not very many great ones. The Nintendo 64 on the other hand, has had many great ones. But finely the wait is over for a great action/platformer on the PlayStation, as Spyro the Dragon is a very good game. The story is like this: Gnasty Gnorc, supreme ruler of all that is bad and ugly, has been banished from the peaceful calm of the Dragons World.Due to this severe lack of disrespect, Gnasty feels it is his personal right to steal all the dragon treasure and go postal on all dragons(well not exactly, but he does freeze them). The only dragon not frozen was a young wee puff of smoke called Spyro. And is Spyro going to let Gnast Gnorc do all of this? Heck no! Spyro the Dragon is on a mission to regain all the dragon treasure and free Dragon World of all badness. Spyro backs the story up with incredible graphics and Disney-like animation. Unfortantley, Spyro suffers from poor camera angles, repitive levels, and a high frustration factor. But overall Spyro the Dragon is worth a look.

Great Game PLAY IT

I'm very reluctant to try the new Spyro game for PS2, or to buy the Spyro games available for Xbox because Spyro games have stooped to such a low quality I'm afraid to play them. But for the old Spyro games on PSone I have no fears because these ones were developed by Insomniac (Ratchet and Clank, Resistance: Fall of Man), the studio that made the good ones, but sadly no longer makes them. The story is about how Spyro has to rescue all of the dragons who have been imprisoned in crystal cocoons by Nasty Nork. The gameplay functions very well for an old platformer, and never really gives you much trouble because of how smoothly it handles. The flight mechanic works well, but you can't use it all the time. The graphics look nice for the time, but are feeble by today's standards. The environments are bright and colorful and still have a great feel to them. You will spend your time defeating lots of enemies, rescuing your dragon friends, collecting jewels, finding hidden locations, getting health by letting your dragon fly buddy eat butterflies, and have a lot of fun doing all this. As much as this might sound terrible to some gamers, it's actually not repetitive and boring, but in reality a lot of fun. The biggest flaw of the entire game is the camera. The camera is a bit difficult to handle, and will unfortunately cause a few cheap deaths. Also, this game in some ways feels a bit too easy because within a twenty minute period I located 14 dragons. Plus this game simply isn't as fun as it's sequels Ripto's Revenge or Year of the Dragon. But this game is too much fun to really complain about, and I can guarantee no matter what demographic of gaming you fall in you will have a lot of fun on Spyro's PSone adventures.

i wish they made spyro games like these

Spyro: The Dragon We Use To Know...

Awww, good times! I first bought this game when it first came out, when I was around eight-years-old. I played it non-stop, battleing against the Gnorcs, aquiring treaure, ramming through thouse nasty blue thieves for the pink-spotted eggs, getting more life for poor Spyro, and resqueing the dragons locked in stone, of course.
Now, I'm playing more mature games. Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games for the Gamecube counsel. Along with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarine of Time/Twilight Princess, and Hitman 2. But after playing thouse games on the sparkling Gamecube counsel, I turned my gaze to the dusty, gray Playstation, and out popped Spyro again!
I'm actually replaying the game, I already beaten both of the two first worlds in under an hour. But it is a really good experience to play this old jewel again! I also own four other Spyro games: Spyro: Ripto's Rage, The Year of the Dragon (Both of thouse for my old Playstation and are VERY fun!) along with the alright, but not the same: Hero's Tale, and the crappy game some idiot thought up: The Legend of Spyro: A New Beggining. I despised thouse two games for what they had done to that cool, little dragon we use to know.
But, alas! At least I saved my original game for times like these! Please, if you still have your old gray Playstation, (or a Playstation 2) than fish out Spyro from the attic or the closet and replay it! Or, if you are new to the first original Spyro games, go out and buy them! (that is, if you don't mind an extreamly easy game) The game is fun, nevetheless it being easy, it holds that sparkling air that Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 holds!

I played this game years ago and somehow lost it somewhere while moving. I have looked for a while to tryand replace it. It is a great game to just relax and enjoy with a lot of difficult moves required. Although it will test our memory skills.

Great Game!

This game is really good, but not the best of all my games. The best is Spyro, Year of the Dragon.

4.5 stars! Classic!

Ah, Spyro! Released in 1998 for the PS1, Spyro is the first entry of many. [Although, only the first three were any good, because the newer ones were owned by an poor company.]

Graphics: 9/10: Horrible by today's standards, but very good by 1998 standards. Colorful and clear old-school 3-D graphics.

Music:10/10: Pretty catchy, nothing really grinds on your ears.

Sound: 8/10: Pretty good.

Gameplay:9.5/10: You control Spyro, the PO'd dragon, through many worlds. There he must collect gems, rescue dragons, fight enimies, bosses, and other dangers, and also use his trademark flame and charge moves. This game is a bit easy, but it's very entartaining.

The game costs about 10$ about now, so buy it!

QUITE EXCELLENT. 15th dec 2004.

Not boring, not geat either. I like how they have designed it and how good the graphics are but this isn't the best out of the three. I prefered the 2 nd most but really enjoyed the 3 rd too. If you are looking for a lot of adventure, try out this. BRILL.

THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED(well,at least up to this point)

This game is fun. I just recently got my Playstation, and the game is so great! The graphics rock! The sound... IT'S IRRESTIBLE! This game is challenging. So challenging, in fact, that I have - myself - made it up to Beast Makers (when I say made it up to in games like this, I mean I have fullfilled the requirements) and have aced the Artisans world.
OK, it's time I said a bit about the sound. The music of Artisans enables me to think about the green rolling hills there(no, I am NOT a robot). The Peace Keepers music.. is a war-like tune.
