Good, but, has its faults

When I first played the game, I was extremely disappointed. This game wasn't up to par with the others. Then, I thought I'd play for lack of anything better to do. Once you get into this game and start unlocking levels, it's a lot of fun. I see how they tried to incorporate things from all of the games in this one. The good thing about this game though, is that I didn't particularly hate any of the levels like I did on the other games. The fact that there's different types of breath is also really cool. So to sum up, this game is bad at first but once you get into it, it's as good as the others. The only downside, it's a really short game and it's easy to beat.

Review 1: "The Story"

Dragons are the source of every Dragon's power, so they are vital to the continued exsistence of these great and powerful creatures. Spyro's story begins at the conclusion of the "Year of the Dragon" festival, an important coming-of-age event for young Dragons.

During the joyous and peaceful festival, things suddenly go wrong. With a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, a magical portal appears. Out of the portal steps the evil wizard Ripto, Spyro's long time nemesis!

Ripto unveils his nefarious plot: to render the Dragons helpless by stealing all of their Dragonflies! Before Spyro has a chance to act, Ripto works his vile magic, causing all the Dragonflies present at the festival to disappear. Ripto then hops back into his portal, escaping any possible repercussions for his evil deed.

However, Ripto's spell didn't exacly work as he planned. Instead of stealing all the Dragonflies, he mistakenly scattered them all over the land. This brings the Dragons a small glimmer a hope; if all of the missing Dragonflies can be recovered before Ripto's minions find them, then the "Year of the Dragonfly" festival can proceed!

Our hero's course is now clear. With the aid of his companion, Sparx the Dragonfly, Spyro must travel to far distant lands and search for the 90 wayward Dragonflies. He's the Dragons' only hope.

By the name of the holy lord, I love Spyro. But this game was very terrible. The graphics suck, the screen is glitchy, stupid charachters, and too short! I cannot believe that a series so good could end up with a game soooo bad! My personal favorite would be Spyro the Dragon back then the graphics were great! But this game, for it's time has terrible graphics, crappy camera, and terrible voice acting. If you want real games, check out the other Spyro games.

Full of bugs...but probably worth the low price

I held off on getting this game until the price went down, because I had heard a lot of bad things about it. But don't let what you've heard scare you away! It certainly wasn't worth what it was priced at when it was originally released, but now that the price is lower, I would recommend the game to Spyro fans, despite its flaws.

It is true that there are some serious problems with this game, but you can't just write them off by saying that the game changed developers. Even the fact that the Spyro franchise changed hands isn't a good excuse for the horrible bugs that you'll come across in this game. It is absolutely full of bugs. For example, the camera occasionally gets stuck inside parts of the scenery, so that you see the polygons inside out (a pretty bad problem). In fact, one time when this happened, my PS2 actually froze. That's never happened to me with any other game--but it is not a common problem in this one. Also, you will flame an object or fly through a ring, but the game somehow doesn't register it. You can hit an object directly with your lightning breath and have nothing happen. This can make it hard to complete the challenges. Also, the control is sometimes sluggish.

But despite these flaws and because of the low price, the game is worth buying if you like Spyro, or if you're looking for a game that would be good for little kids. The gameplay feels very similar to the original Spyro games, the music is alright, and it's pretty fun for the amount of money you pay for it. Were it not so cheap I would have given it fewer stars, but at its current low price it is a good value even with its numerous faults.

Good X-mas gift

I recommend this game for everybody & as a great christmas present. Very easy to handle and hours of fun. There is the main quest or journey of the game and also there are a bunch of smaller or sub-games, like catching cows with a ufo. My son loves to just stand there and shoot ice from Spyro's mouth, he doesn't even need the rest of the game. He just stands there shooting. Furthermore it is a good game for people of all ages.

Top-notch!

PLatform gamming at its best. Enter the Dragonfly is tight. There are crazy new things he gets to ride and these beautiful places (a lot of them) he visits. I feel that the new games sometimes don't live up to their original and older counterparts, but I think the creators of ETD did a good job. My favorite will always be the first, Enter the Dragon, but the latest game from Spyro is still top-notch!

When it works, it's great...

The graphics are great, when they don't disappear or if the camera doesn't get stuck in a wall. The sound is great, when they don't stack on each other. The levels are challenging when you can 1. not freeze up and 2. get loaded into the right level after saving. The controls are sluggish and if you are used to using the D-pad with Sypro, get over it. It offers nothing in response. The other buttons work most of the time, but it gets annoying when you push the triangle button, you do a head bash and all you wanted to do was center the camera. I'm glad that Universal is offering refund on this badly done game. I'm going to go the Game Cube addition (only after I rent it first.) No one that has reviewed has the same problems.

I purchased this game for my nephew. I told him to tell me if there was a problem with it. Of course he didn't tell me that the game display bounced between black and white and color, or that it was IMPOSSIBLE to finish or win some objectives. I can't believe I paid $50, for an essentially UNPLAYABLE game!!! I guess next time I won't ask a 9 year old what he thinks of a game! Don't buy this one until Universal comes out with a less buggy version.

They can do better than this!

I love spyro,I bought the game before reading the reviews(wich was a big mistake)played it and then my system froze!Yes it is a cool game but it takes so long to load!The graphics on the last games were way better.The game is so short and simple.It only took almost 2 days to finish.So I rushed it back to get my money. Take it from me,I have played some extremely good games but this is not one of them.Do not buy it no matter how cool they say it is.It will freeze up and it took 10 min. just to get from world to world.They can do better than this crud.

Spyro Spyro Spyro. What can one say about a purple dragon who rides ufos and can shoot bubbles. Well, in this new game he has an added arsenal. Instead of just fire, Spyro has bubble, ice and electric breath. Also there are loads of mini-games to keep you busy. Somebody told me the game wasn't the best, but I beg to differ. I really like it. It's a good platform game.
