The newest editon of the Spyro series does not disappoint. He is back with his old friends & also some new buddies. His mission is to retrieve dragonflies that have escaped. Spyro been updated with new breath weapons and new skills. Some reviews talk about the game freezing, but in many hours that I have been playing it, the game has never once froze up, or have I had any other problems with it. I think the game is definetely worth the purchase. Hope the review helped.

There's a reason for the glitches...

Opening
When I first played this game I was disapointed. Not only was it short (9 levels.) it also had unbearably long load times. And some glitches. (But that depends a great deal on how early you got the game...)
Bugs?... Anyone?...
My copy of the game had a few glitches. (But they were minor. Stuff like swimming out of water for a couple of seconds...) The reason other games had probably loads of bugs was because V. Universal had to rush to get the game out by the holiday season, they simply had no time to get out all of the bugs. Therefore, since I got mine a few months after the release date, it had few bugs. I'm sure this is what drove most gamers away.
More Bugs... No, Really!!
The story of the game is um...good? No, it has a horrible plot. But, it is a game so, really it doesn't matter that you half to capture dragonflies, yep about 90 of 'em...urrr...I'd sure like to shake hands with the man that thought that idea up. NOT! But like I said its a game. No worries in the story department if you don't really care about storyline.
Like Fireworks In July...
The graphics explode with color. Each enviroment is uniquely well-made. And the water, oh the water! Never have I seen water of this wonderful quality on a game of this genre. It is simply amazing! The graphics are definitely where this game shines! They're like fireworks on the 4th of July. The only problem here is the occasional frame-rate drop.
Continuing The Tradition
One thing V. Universal did get right with Enter the Dragonfly was the brilliant voice-acting and music, that made the movies worth watching in the previous games. Everthing in the sound category is awesome, except, I would turn Sparx's hints off. Whoever thought of giving him a voice should be fired.
Press The (A) Button To Jump Or Wait Is It The /Y/ Button?
The controls are wonky and hard to remember. You'll find yourself asking the same question as above, but by the time you remember, the ritoc will have gotten you. Sometimes the button response is slow, but other times it is right on cue with the pressing of the button. Nothing real bad about the controls, but they do add an element of diffuculty to the game that the developers did not intend, I'm sure.
Closing
Overall, Spyro is a good game that suffers from far to many things. The game is worth renting. And the perhaps buying if you like it. Only if, there is a fair chance you won't.

Cute Game, But Really Not That Great

I do not reccomend this game to you if you play the Gamecube mostly for the experience of stunning graphics and awesome animation. The character modeling (how every character in the game was drawn up in 3D for the game) it is almost as bad as Nintendo 64. The animation of the charcters is not realistic and there are scenes where characters are walking and they look like they're sliding across the ground.

If you want a better visual experience play Super Mario Sunshine, Starfox Adventures, a Need for Speed game, or Sonic Adventure DX

This game is horrid. It's slow, ridiculously hard is some parts and hard in others, and just horrid. The game play is sketchy, the plot is meaningless, the controls are badly designed... Dont' bother spending your money on this.

Not As Good as It Should BE

I bought this Spryo game for my daughter for Christmas this year.
(2002) Sadly, she had finished this game in 3 days with no book and all levels cleared. It didn't even come close to any of the previous Spyro's. It all came down to collecting the jewels. Not
much with game action. Very Very dissapointed in SPYRO. I hope that if they continue to make this series, It will be much better than this.
PS. This takes a whole memory card to save this game. (8mb)

die hard spyro fan ver very disappointed

I'am a spyro fan but I'am disappointed on this spyro game and heres why.The loading times are slow,also their are a ton of gliches in this game and it can freeze. The game play and the graphics and the plot are k but not really great.Plus ripto is back again for his 3rd time which really bothers me that they cant make new ones. The abilits and weapons havent really changed that much and the bubble breath is useless onless used on a drgaon fly. the ice breath freeze them only the fire and electric braeth do damage.

I hope they cure this promblem and stop making ripto come back.I think spyro 1 was way better then this spyro game and that was made a long time before this spyro game.

spyro one has got better reviews then this game and so has 2 and 3 for the playstation.

If your not a spyro fan dont buy this game, I hope other spyro fans see my point that this is a bad spyro game.

I think this is the worst spyro game I've ever played in my life.
This also goes for the ps2 and the xbox version(if made)of this spyro game.If i could have gave a 0 for this spyro game i would have.

Worst Spyro game in the world!!!

I bought this game for my kids, but I've also enjoyed playing the games as well. This is the first Spyro game that I could cook a meal and play at the same time!! World warping takes an average of 2-3 MINUTES to load to the next world. Graphics are still good as is the story,but the excess time that it thats is enough for my kids not to want to play.

A discrace to the saga

I mean look, Spyro was good in his early days, but now, he's garbage. The spyro saga has took a turn for the worst. I mean this game grows boring reel fast, and I'm glad I rented it. Spyro was one of my favorite games, now it's one of the best games that can spell G-A-R-B-A-G-E!! Do not enven spend ur money 2 rent or spend ur time 2 borrow, this is the game that tarnished the shining saga.

terrible game

spyro enter the dragonfly is a pathetic excuse for a game. theres numerous glitches jagginess in graphics and too much gem collecting. youre going to have to go around collecting as much as 1000 gems yes 1000 gems. one of the things i liked about spyro games was that they were fairly long. each had somewhere between 20-30 levels. but this peice of junk has only 8. besides the game is just a much worse version of all the others. i love spyro but i hate this game. not only that enter the dragonfly has one of the worst camera systems ever. simple things like trying to jump from one platform to another at very close range can be a difficult task. usuaully i just fall and its in lau island. if you fall you have to swim underwater then do about 5 more minutes of platform jumping every single time. youll fall quite often off a platform then its another 5 minutes of pointless irritating work. and if you beat this game geuss what happens nothing. the game has groce camer angles awful storyline telling repetitive levels and unfair controls. whatever you do do not buy this game. just rent it if you must play it.
