Which is how Insomniac, developers of the Spyro trilogy, feel. The first Spyro was definitely great. The second was also a good game, but didn't chnage much from the original, other than the collection of orbs and a new setting. The third is a hybrid of both-a little collecting (eggs-which, like the first with stone dragons, can simply be found, or, like the second with orbs, can be earned through different tasks), some mini games (Spyo 2 featured a few, but these are better), and of course the "save the world" element, which is true of all three. I love Spyro, but with each sequel, it seems I'm playing much the same game. I do recommend this for any Spyro fan, but don't expect any big changes, which, don't get me wrong, isn't necessarily a bad thing.
It is an ok game

This is a fun, quick, relaxing game. Basically you go to different levels and kill stuff. It's fun for kids and others(especially running over or burning the animals that give you health). It has pretty good graphics and ok gameplay. As I said before it is quick and simple.
Spyro 3 ROCKS!

Out of all the PS1 Spyro games, Spyro 3 is the best with a creative story plot, mini games, many collectables and more playable characters. The graphics are not the best, but the game is BRILLIANT!

This has got to be one of the best games so far of the Spyro series! I rented it for my daughter (age 7) and she enjoyed it so much that we ended up renting it 4 times in a row as she had so much fun! I got several chances to play it and must say that it is very addicting!! Price is high and typical of all new Sony games and will probably go down ... like the first Spyro did about 6 to 9 months after Christmas. I highly recommend this game for all ages!
Similiar but better!

This is the best Spyro game out of all three of them! It's a exciting new twist to it too. It's like the old ones buy doing tasks and collecting eggs. But with new tasks and four playable characters! You can play with the four playable characters by going to their home town. Or by going to a level and going through their home. Not just it's fun it keeps you playing it. Also, it's not a easy game and takes alot of time to beat. Some of the tasks are easier then the others but you have to do them all to beat the game. Some of your tasks are from skateboarding off ramps, riding on boat killing a shark sub, and boxing a yeti. This game deserves 5 thumbs up! I recommend this game it's worth this ... price. It won't lower for a pretty long time. Believe me it's not a rip off! GOOOOO! Go to the store and get it now!
A great game even with the Speedway bug!

As you can tell from most reviews, Spyro YOTD is a great game. Even with the bug in the Speedway levels that can, under certain circumstances, stop a player from receiving an egg. HOWEVER, there is an easy way to avoid this problem. All you have to remember is that once you start the race in any Speedway level, you must win 1st place in the race BEFORE you quit/exit the level, or do anything else that causes the game to be saved. It is the saving of the game once you have started a race, but before you win 1st place that locks the bug into place. It's a very unfortunate bug, but a poor reason to avoid buying the game. (It is also true the the second pressing of the game has the bug fixed)
Absolute Brilliance

I just got this game 3 months ago, and it is fantastic. It is very challenging to get all of the treasure and eggs. I found a bug in the game also, on two of my speedways, and the only way to get around it is to send your memory card into Insomniac. I love the skateboarding levels, and if you want a bit of a laugh, type this code in when you are in a skateboard level to make your skateboard a squid: Press pause then press: Up, Up, Left, Left, Right, Right, Down, Down, Square, Circle, Square. I have found all the skill points, and I have 15,000 treasure, and 147 dragon eggs (The bug made me miss 2 of the speedways racing eggs). I can't wait until I get my bug fixed, because I have heard the Super Bonus World is fun!
Out of site!!!!!!!!!!!
