    SPYRO THE DRAGON

    I can complete this game, 100% and without dying, in just under 4 hours with bathroom breaks. I love it. I don't know how many times I have played it through but it's a lot. It remains the best SPYRO game in the franchise after so many entries as it isn't convoluted with irritatingly fiddly missions.

    Stuart Copeland's music is the legendary icing on the cake. The designs of the hub worlds and levels are enthrallingly original. The voice acting is spot on. I love this game.

    A very good game for puzzle and adventure fans.

    Spyro The Dragon is the first game in the unbeatable Spyro series (well, it was only unbeatable when it was on the PsOne), and it really delivers. Unfortunately, unlike the other Spyro games, there is very little dialog, and pretty much the only characters that talk are Spyro and dragons you free from stone by walking up to them, but the game makes up for that and a few other flaws by its amazing and fun game-play,and the worlds and characters beautiful animation. The music also is great, and I think you should definitely play this game if you are a fan of Spyro or just fun action adventure games.

    Great game, started the new gaming world!

    Spyro The Dragon is a great game and now considered a classic. I found this game very educating as I was only 6 years old at the time this game came out. Therefore I am 13 at the moment. It also was one of the first games to have realistic graphics. When I was eight my dad bought me a Playstation, Spyro was the first game I ever bought and I was so excited to play this game and when I played it, I could not let go of the controller. Looking for the dragons, unlocking new levels by completing one of the levels on the particular world that you are in.

    Even my Dad enjoyed playing as he always loved flying around in Sunny Flight, Night Flight, Crystal Flight and all the rest. It was a brilliant conclusion to the game as it was extremely fun in the Gnasty Gnorc level and then in Gnasty's loot.

    It would probably be a great game if it was released today!

    "The best PS1 game ever!"

    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.

    The Best PS Platform!!

    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! :)

      Delbin is rescued twice in the game, but the second time he is released, he has a completely different voice than he does the first time he is released.
    • Quotes

      Tomas: Wow! I never thought I'd be rescued, especially by such a little dragon. Uh, what I mean is I've always believed in you, Spyro!

      Spyro the Dragon: You gotta believe!
