            Action/platform games have been around since the days of the Nintendo. The Sony PlayStation has had its share of platformers, but not very many great ones. The Nintendo 64 on the other hand, has had many great ones. But  finely the wait is over for a great action/platformer on the PlayStation,  as Spyro the Dragon is a very good game. The story is like this: Gnasty  Gnorc, supreme ruler of all that is bad and ugly, has been banished from  the peaceful calm of the Dragons World.Due to this severe lack of  disrespect, Gnasty feels it is his personal right to steal all the dragon  treasure and go postal on all dragons(well not exactly, but he does freeze  them). The only dragon not frozen was a young wee puff of smoke called  Spyro. And is Spyro going to let Gnast Gnorc do all of this? Heck no! Spyro  the Dragon is on a mission to regain all the dragon treasure and free  Dragon World of all badness. Spyro backs the story up with incredible  graphics and Disney-like animation. Unfortantley, Spyro suffers from poor  camera angles, repitive levels, and a high frustration factor. But overall  Spyro the Dragon is worth a look.

            This is such a cute game! The graphics are very smooth and the animation of the characters is amazing! You'd swear they were alive. For instance in the magic level there are these bird-like critters that stand around  tossing some red fruit to a large monster, when you get close to it the  bird looks at you, leaps on the monsters back, points at you and the  monsters charges YOU. Or in another world the frog soldiers will either try  to attack you, cower in fear of you, or turn around and moon you while  laughing! It's so hilarious. I bought this game without previewing it and I  don't regret it at all. It's a blast to play.
        
            
Great escape for busy adults, too

            I'm a 44-year-old businessman who encountered Spyro after buying my kids a Playstation for Christmas. I found the various magical worlds and Stewart Copeland's music to be enchanting.Spyro's non-gory brand of spunk (voiced  by the guy who does the Taco Bell chihuahua!), combined with smooth 3-D  animation, made the game so fun that I played it all the way through,  myself. It was the perfect depressurizer after a tough day. As an older  gamer, I was too clumsy to handle the "supercharge" feature  without a LOT of practice and lost lives.As a fan of Myst and Riven, I must  say that Spyro was even more enjoyable simply because it was so  light-hearted. I really hope there's a sequel in the works (my preference:  more puzzles, less twitch-factor). Parents: a huge, vast, safe playground  that rewards exploration--great for any kid (even you!).

            This game is so much fun and the graffix are so colorful and deep. You will know what I mean when you play the game.   Spyro the Dragon is so loveable.  Sparx is his companion, dragonfly.  They go everywhere together.   There are a few bonus levels, too. Spyro flies, charges, runs, and breaths  fire.  A very fun and "addictive" game. Spyro is trying to rescue  captured dragons that Gnasty Gnork has turned to stone.  He also collects  treasures stolen from the dragons.
        
            
Fun but very easy game.

            It's a great game but more for kids.The graphics are good but the game's really easy to beat.The levels are really detailed and cool along with the kind-looking enemies.Overall it's good but more for kids who I bet would  love it.

            Spyro was A fine game in the ways of graphics, but it otherwise falls short in A number of ways: First off, the entire game is redundant. The only new things are fighting bosses. Second, it has no puzzles. All you  need to do is find A few statues and your wisked away to the next  'exciting' level. Third, There is no plot to the game, all you do is dart  around killing enemys, and even though the enemys varie, they all fall into  about three catagories, which I won't waste my time typing. The reason why  this game got 2 stars was its size, which i must admit is quite large.  Basicly, don't i suggest leaving this one on the shelves.
