Well, I bought this game a few weeks ago. Right now I'm in the Winter Fairy Home. I still haven't beaten Ice Age speedway yet, but I'm working on it. The levels are colorful, spyro is as cute as ever, and the graphics are exceptional, especially fo GBA. All in all, a pretty good game, though some parts can be pretty hard.

I own the first three Spyro games and when this one came out I coudn't wait to get it. However, I made a serios mistake. Spyro can't move very well, and you die the second you come near water, which I think is terrible seeing as this game is supposed to take place AFTER he learned to swim. This game has bad graphics, annoying speedways and Sparx levels, and can't show elevation. As a general rule, everything looks completly flat so when you go to make a glide, you find out the place you're gliding to is too high. Furthermore, enemies with missles and fireworks take about two seconds aiming at you then they just blow you up. In conclusion NEVER, EVER buy this game!

Annoying!

I have all the Spyro games for PS1 & PS2, and I LOVE them, so when I got my GBA I bought Season Of Ice right away....and was very annoyed. At first I thought it would be cool, because there are fairies and mermaids, but the controls are much more difficult on the GBA than the Playstations. I have trouble getting Spyro to go the direction I want him to, especially on diagonals. I think it's because you're using directional buttons instead of a joystick. I don't think it can be the fault of the button on my individual GBA, because I bought it brand new and this is one of the first games I've played on it. Anyway, I have trouble crossing bridges and just moving around in general; it makes it incredibly obnoxious, because every time you fall in water you die. I say, if you have a Game Cube and a Game Boy Player (so you can use a joystick) this could be a great game, but if you just have a GBA, don't bother, it's more frustrating than it's worth.

A frustrating let-down

OK, first of all, I have the 3 original Spyro games for Playstation, and I love them, so when I got my GBA, I immediately bought this Spyro game and the second one, Season of Fire. I haven't played the second one yet, but I'm almost afraid to, because this one was so disappointing. The graphics are great, I'll give you that, but that's about where it ends. The gameplay is horrible, like others have said. The controls seem to be opposite of what I would expect, and charging always makes my arm ache from trying to control him in tight turns. Also, the fact that you die if you put your toe in a puddle is really annoying, especially since the storyline shows that it's supposed to be after Spyro learned to swim. The most frustrating level so far for me is the hummingbird port, where you have to glide to different platforms, most of which you can't see without moving the camera to search for them, and all of them are impossible to tell which are above and which are below you. I've found that a basic rule is that if it looks higher, it's below you, and if it looks lower, then it's above you. I gave up on that level when I couldn't find any more sections to go to, and just kept going in circles. I do like the speedways, and also Sparx's worlds, but that's not quite enough to off-set the frustration from the other levels. It probably wouldn't seem so bad if I hadn't already gotten so good at the playstation versions, so if you are just looking for something to pass the time on the road or something, go ahead and buy it. But if you are looking for a Gameboy version of the original Spyro games, don't bother. Though, I'll try Season of Fire, and maybe Spyro Orange, which my stepmom owns, before giving up on GBA Spyro.
As a side-note, when are we going to get to play Bentley the Yeti? He was my favorite. I'd buy the game if he were in it.

Spyro's the best!

This game is challenging when you first start, but when you get the hang of it, it may be easier. You start on Autumn Fairy World and, depending on how many fairies you have, you can get up to the other seasons. I'm on Winter Fairy Home, which is the second season.

This game allows you to breathe as much fire as you need, jump, fly, glide, and land. In Winter Fairy Home, there are challenging mini-games such as Hummingbird Fort. If you are a beginner, I won't suggest this game because sometimes it can be very challenging, like when you get into the Sparks World. If you've been using Game Boy Advance for a while and you get the hang of it pretty well, I suggest this game because it lets you use your skills, and it makes you think.

Overall, I think it's a really great game.

I hated this game because it was the same thing each level, find the fairies and get the jewels. The levels got very boring after a while, and I was glad when I beat the game. I don't recommend this game to anyone. I hated it.

I've replayed this level way too many times!

I own every single game for Playstation 1 and 2, and this was a big disappointment for me. This game has deterred me from buying any other Spyro games for gameboy advance. I bought it for full price right when it came out, and I was appalled. Many other reviews hail it, but I disagree with them on most of their points.

The graphics were great for a gameboy game, but that's about it. The home land seems to be copy-and-paste landscape, everything way too similar. One level uses random lava puddles to hinder you, which becomes very annoying and monotonous. The levels take so long that I have to replay a certain level over and over, since I don't have time to sit forever and finish the level.

This game is directed towards children, but every kid who has played it that I know can't even complete one level, since if anything happens you immediately go back to the beginning of the level because there are no save points in each world. Plus, The worlds aren't even paths, something else that hinders. There are so many ways for Spyro to go, it is ridiculous.
This game is too hard for the young audience it is directed at, yet it is a bit childish for adults and teens. I regret that I bought it, since it is simply sitting in a gameboy game case, taking up space, sheltered from the thick layer of dust that would be coating it.

I love this game but the flaws are that there is only one boss, the game's too tough, no fairy checkpoints, no other breath attacks and has some of the PSX Spyro graphics like the Mystery Vase chase. This takes place on the Forgotten Worlds where you get to free crystallized fairies trapped in ice cubes by Grendor.

This game is going to be better. There's even a sequel to it. Spyro 5 : Enter the Dragonfly.
