My daughter got this for a gift from me and I thought it was a good buy. We already have Spyro on PS1 and know that she would like it.

Try this, Gamer, to glide ...

Same old spyro again and again... All of the spyro games have a similar storyline: save the DRAGONS, save the DRAGON eggs, save the DRAGONflies. You're always saving something and fighting similar enemies. It just gets old. This game is one of the best though.

Spyro...?

This game is really fun up to one part where I am having problems being able to glide across. I know, it is pretty pitiful, so please write a reveiw telling me how!

Spyro Is DA BOMB!

This game really deserves 5 stars. The game play in it is very smooth and amusing.
It's a game that will keep you interested for a long time. I found it good for children as well as adults.
The characters and scenery are very colourful therefore quite attractive for young children and adults alike.
The controls are simple to use.

The great thing about this game is that you can SAVE your game as you go along. No need to remember pass words or anything. There are 4 save slots which means up to four people can save there advancements in the game at seperate times.

I'm very impressed with this game and I'm 19 so it takes a lot to entertain me.

Excellent!!

A very challenging game! It takes wit and skill. Most things you have to figure out by yourself. Some things Sparx will tell you. Diffrent lands and cool challenges. Not an eays game but entertaining for anyone. I enjoy spyro on PS but I don't have one. So I settled for gameboy and enjoy it just as much. Graphics are good!

I Love That Dragon

To look at me, you'd never expect that I would be the sort of person to play video games or GameBoy, as I'm a 45 year old mom. But my five year old has become hooked. This series of games is one place where I can share his enthusiasm. I find his other games to be largely monotonous and boring, lacking the intelligence and sense of fun which clearly went into these. My son and I often play Spyro side by side, swapping the GameBoys back and forth if something gets a bit too tough for him. He is only five, after all.

In all, I think the Spyro games are a great experience. The graphics are just wonderful and the detail that went into development of the games is astounding. Sypro will actually turn and look at you impatiently if you wait too long to issue him a command (move him along). The variety of characters you can play ensure that the game doesn't get monotonous. I found Agent Byrd in this game to be much easier than Shelia the Kangaroo in Season of Fire. There's plenty of easy stuff to do (collecting gems) in between moments of sheer frustration, such as learning to jump across long spaces and doing the challenges within the levels. The controls work more precisely in this one and especially in Season of Fire than they did in Season of Ice. You do have to be extremely accurate, but to me that's part of the challenge.

Finding the levels in this game is a bit more frustrating than Season of Fire, as they don't always turn up as obvious portals to pass through. It may take some thought and experience with the game before you realize that doing something to an object can cause a portal to open. Like previous games, you need to collect a certain number of fireflies to enable entry. While I preferred the intuitive layout of Season of Fire (easier to find your way around) this one does grow on you. It was less frustrating in that it was harder to kill Spyro off altogether - you really don't need to use any cheat codes for this game. Also, I found Ripto and his precursors to be easier to beat.

I for one would be devastated if the developers stop issuing new Spyro games. For those new to the series on GameBoy, I would recommend Season of Fire first as a powerful learning tool regarding Sypro abilities. Do yourself a favor and look up the code for "unlimited lives" on the internet when you try it though - you'll save yourself hours of frustration. This game is an excellent second, with Season of Ice being last (but don't dismiss it!).

I give this game four stars despite preferring Season of Fire - all of these games are unbeatable in terms of their ability to hold an adult's interest as well as that of a kid.

Spyro:Attack of the Rhynocs......

I've always considered the Gameboy Advance Spyro games a real treat. Weird thing is...I never really got into the PS Spyro games all that much(although I own them, have played them and they're good). There's just something about being able to play Spyro on the go that appeals to me. Now, we're on the third Spyro game(originally called Season of Wind but now called Attack of the Rhynocs) so what do I got to say about the game? Well, for starters, it's alot better than the previous games for the system in alot of ways. Graphics are sharper, even more colorful and crisp. Control is practically dead-on. And gameplay is even more fun than before. Blending more RPG elements into the game makes things alot more deep(not that Spyro's Gameboy Advance games weren't deep enough). You can play as Spyro, Sgt. Bird, or Agent 9 in 14 massive isometric lands. Spyro even has new abilities such as the Head-Butt Slam, Cyclone Attack, Phoenix Vision, and more. Overall, it makes for a completely new Spyro experience. One that shouldn't be missed. I definitely recommend this to all Spyro fans as well as platformer fans. You'll definitely get your moneys worth with this one. From the looks of things, right now, Spyro is a Gameboy Advance exclusive. Enjoy him while you got him. Speaking of which, I hope this isn't the last we see of ol' Spyro. These games rock.
