This is NOT the Spyro to buy

I really wish I had read the reviews here before I purchased the game. It is NOT at all like the versions we knew from Insomniac games. It is riddled with bugs, awful camera angles, clunky interface and poor controller response. I hate it. Unfortunately I cannot return it cause it's opened, but if there is a Spyro after this, I will be very hesitant to buy it if it is not from Insomniac!

OH MAN! THIS DESERVES A --5 STAR RATING!

Ok. This game is cruddy. The graphics aren't to bad, but half the time the game freezes trying to keep up with Spyro and the graphics. There are no boss fights until the very end, and it is super easy! All you do is run around and try to get everything including the power ups. Oh, Sparks can no longer track gems. The fighting is weak, and you can't become different characters.
To put it plain and simple DON'T BUY IT! Spend your money on the other Spyros (I personally like Year of The Dragon).

Fun, but not challenging

I have not had the problems described by other players. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that this was a rental game. But shouldn't that do more harm than good? Perhaps it's because I have a brand-new PS2. But should that matter?

I've never played a previous Spyro game. My girlfriend has, and she enjoys this one. My view, however, is that of a completely new player.

This game has a very Mario 64-ish feel. That, in my opinion, is good. The problem is that the game is very simple, and quite easy. I'm 20% finished with the game right now (yes, I know, I'm not as qualified to write a review as some are, but here I am), and I've only been hurt once or twice. Ever.

Nonetheless, the game is fun. It's well-designed, and despite the loading times (go get a drink or something!), it's been problem-free for me.

Five stars for a game that reminds me of the Mario platform era, minus a half-star for simplicity and a half-star for load times, equals four stars.

Could've been better

As a Spyro fan, I love this game!!! It's the third Spyro 4 of all time! There are new games where you get to catch manta rays, avoid dangerous pool cleaners, play the game of Tiki Drums, solve gem puzzles and play speedways just inside the levels! You start in the Dragon Realms and end up in Ripto's Volcano! The flaws are:
1) The game's too short.
2) Not too many characters.
3) Too many glitches from freezing to walking underwater.
4) Slow loading
5) Shortage of the levels
6) No playable characters.
7) You meet Barthomelew and Bianca only once.
8) It was just like a piece of garbage which was playable on the PS2!
9) It's not like a real PS2 game!

The game's shorter than Cardcaptor Sakura, and the game's confusing like the second tank challenge in Spyro3. There are many bugs which can never be polished, and happen whatever you're doing.

This is nothing but a beautiful + stupid game!!! The good thing is that the levels look more pretty than in Spyro3! But rent it before you're buying it.

anticlimatic

I had been waiting 4 months to get this game and when i finally did, my first impression was that the game had awesome graphics and gameplay, but as i got further in i noticed the loading screen was excruciatingly long, and the camra laggad so that i had to push triangle every 30 seconds to catch the camera up. I was also extremley dissapointed in the short game. It had only one world and nine levels. I do give it three stars on account of it's creativity for putting new breaths in such as ice, electric, bubble and the blocky thing. This game could not hold a candle to it's prequel Spyro: Year of the dragon

Terribly disappointing. I've been anxiously awaiting the release of Spyro 4 for months now. It's hard to believe it's from the same makers of the first 3! The graphics are good but that's where it ends. There are MANY flaws. Sound errors, graphic glitches, slow load times, and non-responsive controls just to name a few. Surely, the makers will correct some of these problems and re-release this game later. The game really should be recalled it is so bad. I've been on the Spyro web site and everyone seems to agree.

As a long-time fan of the PS1 versions by Insomniac, I was hopeful that the new developers would have little reason to release anything less than excellent for more capable hardware. Man, am I disappointed.

While the worlds are more lush and detailed than the PS1 versions -- as are the characters and effects -- the frame rate can't keep up so it really doesn't matter. No, it's actually worse. I'll take smooth action and responsive controls/camera over lush detail every day. The game has locked up on us three times so far, too, resulting in having to do a lot of stuff over again. It's not as bad as our experiences with Theme Park Roller Coaster for PS2, but it's the only other game that has crashed for us.

A disappointment

In response to the "big disappointment" review -- you can sleep soundly knowing that you were right in not believing it was from the same team as the other Spyros -- it isn't. The team that did the original 3 Spyros moved on a few years back -- I believe they're the ones responsible for Ratchet and Clank.

All else I can say is that you're also right in saying it's a big disappointment -- cruddy framerate, very short, and they stole quite a lot from the first three games. If you look, even the font they use is stolen from the PSone games, and those looked better!

I don't know if you'll have much more luck with the gamecube version, but perhaps our favorite little purple dragon won't be a Universally lost cause.

Spyro Is Dead

Spyro has long been one of my favorite Playstation games. When I heard about Spyro: Enter the Drangonfly, I could not wait to play it, now I wished I had. Within the first hour of play I realized I was in for a huge let down. The graphics jumped more that Spyro did. Gliches in the scenery included such things as flying though a "solid" mountain and finding myself in what can only be described as a black hole, and the scenery becoming a blur as you try to run or even when your walking in some areas. The lack of areas to explore was a real dissapointment. Finally, the final fight lasted no more than 2 minutes and with no fun scenes at the end as in all other Spyro games. I must agree with another review I just read on this page. This game seems more like a...knock-off, then the Spyro we all loved once upon a time.

Trash

How sad is this game> Probably the best platformer on the Playstation is now the worst on the PS2. Worse than the 5-year old original technically and it doesn't play as well and full of glitches. ...
