Going to buy

Despite the unsatisfied reviews of some people I am going to buy this game anyway. Mainly because I love Spyro and I want to own all the Spyro games. I just wish the Spyro Season of Fire and Spyro season of Ice were available for the PS2 format instead of just Gameboy! :(

I Love It, But...

I got this game joyfully at the store, played it and after about a month, even though there wasn't a single scratch on the disc, it messed up for good. I tried to load my game (yes, it was on the memory card) and I get this: data cannot be found. I retry, retry, and retry, and all I get is: data cannot be found. So I decided to test my disc. I made another file on my other memory card, played it for about 4 days, then the next day I try, I get: data cannot be found. I checked both of my memory cards, and they both still had files! I still get that phrase to this day.

Insomniac's creation RUINED

Spyro used to be such a fun game, that is when Insomniac still made them ( I could safely say the old Spyros were some of the funnest games I've ever played). After the last Spyro game (Spyro Enter the Dragonfly by Universal) things have certaintly gone down hill, There were so many glitches, gameplay was HORRIBLE, and the story was STUPID. So I urge you, innocent buyer, do not be fooled by apperences.

A Whole New Spyro Game

It looks like this is a different game developer than the ones that made the last Spyro. What a relief!!
I used to love the original Spyro games, but I tried to play them again recently, and they are now really dated. They were good for their time but not good anymore.
I'm really looking forward to this game. It sounds like it'll be a good one. And it sounds like it could be the best Spyro game ever.

I now have a few tips!!!

In my earlier review, I didn't put even half of the page covered. Anyway, people having trouble with these levels, I will help: Hunter's Challenge, Beggining of the game, Sgt. Byrd's maxi-game. In the Beggining of the game, you will need to get 500 gems in order to get in the shop. Ignore at the first where it says"See Moneybags to see what to do." Instead, get 500 gems then talk to him. You'll get through inside, once you get the lock-pick, go through the door, get the remaining 90 gems you can get. Go back to moneybags. You'll be able to buy a special flame power up. Although it's not much, it could come handy at times. In Hunter's Challenge, start out by using combat moves(circle button) to defeat enemies. When you encounter one of the arrow-enemies(the guys that shoot arrows at you) get at a far distance. Use the L1 button to target enemies from a far distance. Then fire away. It'll kill time sometimes. At the end, don't jump-kick those guys unless your brave enough, because if you do it high enough, it'll throw you over in the ocean. However, when your trying to get the Light Gem at the end, you can jump-kick and grab it. It will seem easier that way. The Sgt. Byrd Maxi-Game is harder than all 3. It's confusing. First, take the rings, then the arches, then the targets, finally, take out all the gnorc-soldiers. When I get farther in the game I'll give more tips. See ya!!

Not as good as the origional, but still good

This game is alright. It is A LOT better than the last one, but the original Spyro games are still the best. I would rent it first, then buy it.

Call me Granny of the Games!

It was better than Enter the Dragonfly, but the first three games are still the best! Plus, a lot of these were different. The buttons are a little different, and Moneybags has got this weird accent. And he isn't showing up at inappropriate places saying "Give me so and so gems and I'll do this and this!"

It was cool playing Hunter's character for a while, but his character's kind of different...or maybe a lot different then I remember him being in the first three games.

There were no side quest thingies (excuse my lack of vocabulary) where Spyro could go racing or do time challenges. But the graphics were cool, however "non-Spyro-esque" they seemed, and the music was cool as well, even though it had the same "un-Spyro-ishness" as the graphics.

It's a good game if your not as nit-picky about those kinds of things as I am. If you don't stick to the orignial Spyro games like glue, this is a good game.

Oh yeah...and since when does Sparx talk? I miss the buzzy noises...

I highly recommend this game

This is a very good game. The color is great, the music is pretty good - a little annoying - but it is a pretty hard game. I love the part when you buy things from Moneybags and I like this game because it's not all fighting and you've got a lot of allies supporting you. And you collect gems about wherever you go, and you can go to Moneybag's shop or Teleport shop to buy things. Teleport shop costs a little more because of shipping.

This game is hard, but it has a lot of story. I haven't played that many Spyro games, but from how many I've played, I think this is the best.
