Initial impressions - a little disappointing

These are only my initial impressions, but I guess I expected a bit more from this game. Sure, its the same ol' dragon and his move over to GBA is certainly welcome. But, the music is no where near as exciting and cinematic as the tunes of Stewart Copeland (of the Police) that graced the Playstation titles. The sense of a new world unfolding before you is somewhat lost in the cramped views of the GBA.

And the 3-D graphics seems a little clunky, some would even say 2-D ! Now admittedly this may be a platform limitation, but the perspectives can be quite difficult to see at times and the angle can't easily be changed. The backdrops lack the sparkle and quirkiness of the Playstation titles, and sometimes don't merge all that well into one another. At times, it appears as if Spyro either moves through objects or is stuck a little above them.

I'm looking forward to playing through more of the levels, and enjoying some of the new play options for Spyro. But, I'm not expecting this game to have quite the pizzaz as the original Playstation games !

THIS YOU MUST GET!
I am writing this the day before the game comes out.It has awesome color and great 3-d graphics.It is about a librarian/sorceress that cast a spell for more power but there's a catch and that is that she gets 2 heads(bizzar huh?)each with a bad headache.She freezes all fairies in order to get the cure,100 fairy wings and sends her henchmen to get the wings.Spyro is sent a balloon and his vacation is yet again interupdet.Play as spyro use old and new moves and see old and new charecters.There are 25 levels and over 70,000 gems to collect.

not as good as PS buuuuuuuuuut....

This game was not as good as the playstation game. If i could i would give it 4 1/2 stars but i can't and it's DEFINETLY not bad enough to get 4 stars. Anyways the basic plot is that there is a sorceror ryhnoc named Grendor. Bianca, (a sorceress from year of the dragon) comes in to the library to check out books to plan for her vacation. But she is carrying so many other books she accidently leaves her spellbook behind. Grendor finds a spell which will make him stong and smart. But he reads it upside-down and it gives him two heads and two headaches. The only cure is one hundred fairy wings. So he freezes all the fairies.

You go around finding or earning fairies by melting them with your fire breath. There are twenty five levels, each of them has a few wacked-out characters that tell you what to do. The speedways are a big dissapointment but other than that this game is awsome. It has extremely good graphics and gameplay. The sound is cheesy and repetative but you can turn that off. Unlike year of the dragon there are not levels within levels. But this is okay because because instead of lots of small easy levels there are 25 five big and challenging ones. this game is far better than anything i could have expected. all in all this is a great game and you should stop reading my boring review and go buy it.

SPYRO IS BACK!!!!

I just got Spyro Season of Ice and it is the best GAME! It is so good, you get full 360 degree movement and 25 huge levels to explore, this game far surpasses all previous Game Boy Advance games. It is also so addictive! I was up till 2 in the morning last night playing it. I fell asleep with the game on! It is also so long, the levels are so massive you find yourself taking an hour or so trying to beat the first levels. If you buy this game you will definitely be forever satisfied...

The graphics are real nice (comprable to the superior-in-every-way Rayman Advance), the music is varied for each level and decent for what can be accomplished on the system, and the Firefly/Gauntlet level and Spyro flying levels create a necessary break from the tedium of the game. And tedium is the biggest problem this game has. Although the levels look different, the game is always the same. Collect 300 gems, light five things on fire, beat-up a horde of Rhynocs. Rayman (which you should buy if you don't own) constantly adds new moves and challenges to keep the gamer interested in the game while Spyro barely grasps the concept of variety.

Both games are from the same development team and the hard work shows. Unfortunately, Spyro lacks the flair of originality that made Rayman a must have.
