Spyro the Dragon

I still remember seeing the previews of Spyro The Dragon back in 1998 it only build up my interest and wanted to play it.

I got to try out the demo before finally getting it to rent and later own my copy on Playstation.

Spyro The Dragon is one of the best reasons to have a Playstation and it is one of the best video games ever created.

The game just have everything that a video game fan would want and then some plus the game is family safe and the whole family will enjoy it.

I mean what's better than being a Dragon and getting to use fire breath attack? In a open world that gives a strong reason why Platform video games are always a winner.

The story of the game is that little purple dragon named Spyro must save his world from a evil creature named Gnasty Gnorc who cast a spell turning all the other dragons into Crystal statues and it's up to Spyro to rescues them as well as he must collect all the treasure that Gnasty Gnorc has stolen as well.

Graphics in the game are amazing for the Playstation as you can see the open world in each World you visit in the game. The game has such great designs and super colors for the characters and levels for the game to give it a great attention. Every world in the game feels awesome.

The sound is top notch as the music is a driven force in the game, each world has it own theme. They did good with making great music for the game that you wish it was on CD. Plus the voice acting is very good the monsters in the game making funny grunts.

The controls in the game are easy to pick up and play, it what makes the game great for the controls make it fun.

The Game play is a winner as well nothing better said about Spyro Game play where everyone can pick it up and play. It also tests your game skills and gives you a challenge when you want it.

Spyro The Dragon is one of the best examples of a video game done right and is a must have for any fan of platform games and video games in general.

I give Spyro The Dragon an 10 out of 10

I really grew up loving this fantastic PS1 game. I can still remember playing it when I was younger, and remember how it enticed and entertained me every time I play it. It has such wonderful 3-D settings, memorable characters and villains and has a fantastic fun-loving spirit. The creativity is always present, it's like everything you touch is interactive. The hero is memorable. The villains are great, and even funny too. Well, there are those that can get annoying (like the green druids or the mooning soldiers), but they were meant to be as annoying as they can get, so the more you get to squash them or burn them. Anyawy, I really love it. No matter what age you may be, I really recommend it. Nice graphics, neat settings and all that and more.

This game simply has some of the most beautiful graphics I've seen on the PlayStation.It has a nice,cartoony feel to it.You can interact with objects in the worlds(i.e. Flaming a rose causes it to burn).The voice acting for the dragons is great,too.Although I must admit the game isn't really that much of a challenge,if you love staring at good graphics this platformer can't be beat! :)

This is a brilliant game that had my dad and I hooked for weeks (well months for him). It is challenging and has a great story line. In the world of dragons an ugly (and I mean UGLY) villain emerges after exile in hope to capture the dragon worlds. When Gnasty Gnorc (what would an ugly villain be without an ugly name?) encases all the dragons in crystal, he misses one, a small purple dragon by the name of Spyro. He and he alone (well with the help of a dragonfly named Sparx) must save the dragon worlds from a horrible fate at the hands of a horrible gnorc. With over 30 levels of colour and adventure, Spyro the Dragon is an ideal game for all ages.

It has been years since Spyro was released, and it is still played today. It has even had a few sequels that spawned from it.

The storyline is about a universe where dragons live peacefully amongst each other. Until one day when an ugly, and very evil creature named Gnasty Gnorc, steals the dragons' beautiful treasures and turns them into his henchmen, sends out pesky little thieves to steal dragon eggs throughout a few of the worlds, and traps most of the dragons in stone, the only one he misses is Spyro, a little dragon. Now, it is up to Spyro along with his guardian, a dragonfly named sparks, to save all of the dragons, recover every dragon egg, find all of the treasure, and defeat the evil Gnasty Gnorc.

There is a wide variety of creatures that add to the creativity of the game(this is one of the most creative platform games ever). The main creatures in the game are dragons from certain worlds. The 5 dragon worlds are the artisans world, peace makers world, magic crafters world, beast makers world, and the dream weavers world. The setting of each world sort of resembles parts of our world. The artisans world is like parts of Europe, the peace makers world is all desert, but strongly resembles the Australian outback, the magic crafters is a mountain filled area, it sort of resembles Switzerland, the beast makers world is like an African village, and the dream weavers world is like an area with a lot of castles.

The other creatures in this game are Gnorcs(a mix between a gnome and an orc), fairies, dragon egg thieves(they have blue hooded cloaks), and normal animals from our world(sheep, chickens, lizards, etc.) The Gnorcs take certain forms, such as many resemble human like creatures, but many resemble animals. The fairies help guide everything in the dragon worlds. In one level, they assist Spyro if he falls from a cliff, and in many levels, if Spyro is kissed by a fairy, he will get a temporary power to destroy certain metal objects with his fire.

Along the way, Spyro learns many different techniques in order to save everything in the Dragon Kingdom. Completing the game 100% is difficult, but it can be done. It just requires plenty of thought and skill that you will probably develop while playing the game.

The game play is very fun, the animation is amazing(the villains are very cool looking), the music score is also good. If there is one thing I have a complaint about, it is the voice work for Spyro. His voice is very wimpy, and his character is kind of annoying in certain parts. If he had much better voice work done with him, the game would be even better than it already is.

Spyro is a very fun game. People of any age can play it. I was 10 the first time I played it. I absolutely loved it. Now I am well into my teens and I still enjoy playing it. Play this game at all costs, it is really fun.
