Spyro the Dragon is a great game for little kids, but if you are 9 or above, you will hate it. There is almost no point to the game, and it takes forever to get the right amount of coins, or I mean JEWELS. The bosses are so easy its not even a challenge for anybody. If you want a good game, get Resident Evil 3 or Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. But if you are a little kid, I suggest this game.
Made me Puke...Literaly!

This game had graphics that were really bad. The perspective was very frusterating to me because it would change and have funky angles, which made it hard to play at times. It was so bad that this game made me sick...Literally. After probably 5 minutes of playing this game, the perspective and bad graphics made me motion sick! And I am not a person who gets motion sickness! Anyway, even if I could have gotten over my sickness, this game is boring anyway. I found it very unchallenging and redundant.
You should definately rent this game first and play it to see if it'll make you sick when you play it. Also, you'll know then if its challenging enough for you.
Spyro was okay......

Spyro was A fine game in the ways of graphics, but it otherwise falls short in A number of ways: First off, the entire game is redundant. The only new things are fighting bosses. Second, it has no puzzles. All you need to do is find A few statues and your wisked away to the next 'exciting' level. Third, There is no plot to the game, all you do is dart around killing enemys, and even though the enemys varie, they all fall into about three catagories, which I won't waste my time typing. The reason why this game got 2 stars was its size, which i must admit is quite large. Basicly, don't i suggest leaving this one on the shelves.
too easy

i cant beleive how easy this game is. dont get me wrong spyro is a fun game with a decent plot but the game is so easy a 8 year old can beat it. its still a fun and intresting game though youll go trough about 20 levels with good graphics excellent sound and solid activity. all around it is acceptable but it falls short of good. i have to say it is way too easy i only played for 2-3 hours and i was already up to the last boss. if youre really young or dont demand any challenge at all in games this ones for you. but as for you tougher gamers you may wanna select from the next two spyros riptos rage or year of the dragon which are much better games.
Aside all the complication and easiness, it's okay

What I must first say is that this game is incredibly easy, and no, I am not an adult. I am 13 years old, and I got this when I was 12. The levels of the first world, Artisans, are super easy with a very easy boss. It's harder to GET TO the boss than it is to beat it. The levels just seem to keep getting just a tad bit harder, but nothing significant. The hardest boss is the boss of the second level and he isn't very hard either. Gnasty Gnorc is a surprisingly easy boss, once you figure out how to toast him. What makes this game annoying is that there is so much treasure, spread out into so many different places, that you will just rip your hair out in some of the levels trying to get it. But there are some pros. This game is a little bit long making for long lasting entertainment. The game also has great graphics with a frame rate that never slows down, and because between screens, the game is counting treasure, so it's like there's never a single load time. Also, some of the enemies are pretty funny, like in one level, if you do the right thing at the right time, the enemy will actually MOON you, and it's hilarious to see. Also, the controls are simple enough for anyone to figure out making for not much trouble otherwise. Some points of the game are hard like recovering stolen eggs from the theives, but besides that, this is an easy game that I would recommend to anyone below teenage age. The only reason I gave this game three stars was because I know most people like a good challenge, but it wouldn't be fair to give it four just because I personally like an easy game. Still good though.
Fun but very easy game.

It's a great game but more for kids.The graphics are good but the game's really easy to beat.The levels are really detailed and cool along with the kind-looking enemies.Overall it's good but more for kids who I bet would love it.
Wonderful!

This is a great game for the non-gamers. It is just challenging enough, but not impossible to beat. I Love it and little Spyro is adorable!
Ok, But being a Spyro fan, the other 2 I played were better.

Lets just say, the other 2 are better (jmo). I borrowed this game from a friend and it was okay. The first warp room was good but once you got farther through the game I didn't like it. I know alot of people liked it but in my eyes Year of the Dragon was much better.
worst SPYRO GAME!

You should think Spyro is amazing.But,this game bothers me a lot.He does not swim!He drowns and Drowns even if its clear.
And,to spice things up every time you go to the home world the eniemes are always there.In Spyro 2&3 that does NOT happen.There are even no enimes in the home world.But,Start with this game(sometimes spyro will menchen about the olden days,even Hunter.In Spyro 3 he said a trick was called Gnasty Gnorc.The leader who turned the dragons to statues.And in Spyro2 Spyro said "I did not go to Dragon Shores since I kicked 'Gnasty Gnorcs'butt.and so on.)This is the worst Spyro game.But,certinlty
not the worst game.Still it has adventure and fUN that is why i put 3 for the score.
60% good, $40 'dud'

Okay!
As you probably know, this is the first spyro game. Fun, easy... Hey, I beat the game in a few weeks! Yes, the game. I beat it %100 through. The clips they show you are cute, at the very end of the game especially! I would recommend this game to anyone who likes this stuff. It's very easy.
