Spyro the Dragon

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.

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!

Back in the 90's, when the gaming world wasn't dominated by FPS, fake guitars or sandbox-like GTA-gameplay, there were many great 3d platformers. But it was one of them which really, really got me since the first time I played it. No, I'm not talking' about Super Mario 64, neither Banjo Kazooie, it's all about a tiny purple dragon called Spyro.

"Spyro the Dragon" came out in 1998, a time where the industry move into 3d was almost complete and it was, IMO, a perfect example of this move done right. This game was awesome, it had everything a good platformer should have: interesting characters(mainly in design, but sometimes also in personality), huge areas to roam (pre-GTA), plenty of stuff to collect, several secrets to discover, inspired (if somewhat quirky) enemies to defeat, vibrant, colorful graphics and environments and the best part is that it didn't feel like another Mario clone!!!!.

So, if you are into platformers or just want good clean fun, you should definitely try this game or any of its great sequels ("Spyro: Ripto's Rage" or "Spyro: Year of the Dragon"). Highly recommended!!!!

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! :)

Even though Final Fantasy is my life... this is a great game. Usually Strategy games don't appeal to me as much as RPG's and games like Gundam Wing Endless Duel For SNES but this game is great. Although this game does have some rough spots... it's all covered up with its great gameplay!
