Spyro The Dragon is the most fun game you can buy for PlayStation. It has a little bit of everything - fighting, action, adventure...One of my favorite levels on the game is the ice level in Peacekeepers world. This game is sure to be a hit for the young and old!
Pretty Fun

Spyro the Dragon is a pretty fun game but it's really hard. You have to beat a number of different enemies, including these guys who strike you with lightning if you get too close to them and these fat ladies who stand by these big pots and whip you if you get too close to them. You have to find about a million gems that are hidden in all different kinds of containers, which take a few minutes to figure out how to open. Plus, each world has a bonus world and you have to beat the boss of the world, fighting more enemies that have never been seen before, and you have to get even more gems. Also, there are a whole bunch of secret codes that you have to get in order to progress in the game. The worlds are very small and hard to figure out if you haven't played the game before, and it gets really frustrating, especially for younger children. If you are considering buying a Spyro game, I would recommend buying Spyro: Year of the Dragon, because it is much more fun....
One of the BEST games ever!

Spyro the Dragon Review

Do not be fooled by the fact that dragons are more suited to little kids and that the game appears like a cartoon. This is a very fun game in which an evil creature called Gnasty Gnorc scatters gems all over the dragon world, turns some into his minions, lets blue thieves into the dragon world to steal their precious dragon eggs, and encases all the dragons in crystal. He missed Spyro, so it's his job to turn the dragon world the way it was. The graphics are colorful and the sound and music are also nice, and as for replay value, it has a fairly good amount. If there is one thing to complain about, it is the difficulty level. The enemies don't put up too much of a threat, and finding gems and dragons is usually fairly easy, and even the bosses are pretty easy to toast. But it can prove quite a challenge to some people, and may include some testing with some things. But besides these two facts, Spyro the Dragon is a nice, colorful game that is well worth the money.
Cool Game!

Spyro is really cool.The graphics are pretty good, as well as the gameplay.This was the first Spyro game that I played and I still own it.I still find it fun after a good 4 to 5 years. This game is kinda long because it has 6 different world's and over 10,000 gems!It's not too hard but after a while it gets tougher and tougher.You should buy this game, or at least rent it.
There is no better

I have not yet found another seriers of games to replace the spyro collection. I have beaten all of the games on the playstaion platform and still find myself enjoying them time and time again. There is just enough to do that you can't remember every exact detail, and the guide books in the game keep you from getting lost. I have played "newer" and "better" games, but there is so much to do I always get lost. Spyro is the only game that I beat without a players guide and online help.
the best platform game of all time

i got spyro a couple years ago and i didnt really think i would like it. the box made it look cute and unworthy of my time. i was dead wrong by the time i got up to gnastys world i realized that spyro was easily the best game i EVER played. and as for all you closeminded people who think its childish heck jak and daxter is more childish way more childish and i ask how long did you play this fantastic game before giving up on it. but now into the main part of the reveiw. spyro has beautifal polished and colorful graphics with animations so deep in texture. and anyone who says it has bad graphics well it dosent. this game is for playstation 1 and it was released in 1998 so the graphics really are excellent. and spyro still has some of the prettiest graphics of any game. this game has fabolus wonderful music probally the best overall soundtrack in a video game. each wonderful portal has beautifal sound and its not childish like the tunes in jak and daxter. this game has magneficint audio and visauls we covered that so lets move on. spyro will keep you busy because it has lots to do you basically there are 6 homeworlds in the game each with 3 portals 1 boss and 1 of what they call a speedway. a speedway is basically an arcade style minigame where you just try to collect everything there in the timelimit. now in the beggining of the game an evil emperor gnasty gnorc freezes all the dragons into crystal except spyro now its spyros mission to go trough the worlds unfreeze from there spells and travel trough worlds to get to gnasys hideout. what you do is unfreeze dragons. but youll also have to collect stolen jewels which are generally known as gems several hundred of these will be located in the levels you visit. youll also be collecting eggs from the blue theives and collecting keys to open up gemboxes. i will be the first to admit spyro dosent look all that impressive in the beggining but play it trough and youll understand why its supposed to be such a great game. itsa a wonderful well rounded classic magic tale turned into a solid platformer with plenty of action and graphics and music that crush most platformers spyro should be a welcome addition to anybodys game collection.
Wonderful!

This game is already a classic to me. The graphics may not be as impressive as the PS3 or Xbox 360, but this old school game will never be passed up by another. The bright environments are intriguing, and the whole game is fun! I was very much impressed by the storyline in this one, the worlds, colors, characters, and bosses. The sequels have not matched up to the original yet.
