Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly is a third person, fantasy adventure game for PS2, the next in a long line of Spyro titles for Playstation. Spyro the Dragon, equipped with several different types of breath weapons, must collect the fireflies and save the Dragon Realm from the evil Ripto.

For some reason, they took the wonderful world of Spyro from PS1, and added a whole lot of beautiful graphics... so many that the game is slooooow. For those fans of Spyro on PS1, you'll feel like you're playing in thick syrup. I'm playing the game now, and I'm certainly enjoying myself, but the chunky slowness compared to the earlier games is just really distracting me. I assume I'll get used to it after 30 or so hours of gameplay (heh), but for now it makes me want to ask the designers why they didn't spend more time making it feel as quick and responsive as the others. Having played other adventure games on the PS2, I know they weren't limited by hardware, it was more like budget limitations or laziness.

Besides that, it's classic Spyro. You've got new abilities like being able to shoot bubble breath and lightning and ice and what not, which is really cool. All the rest is identical, the gem collection, the fireflys, the race courses, etc. They kept a good formula, which is just fine by me. Like I said, overall, the game is great and fun, but you'll be put off by the speed if you're a big fan. It's possible that you won't notice if you haven't played earlier Spyro games.

Bottom line is that with all the other great games in this genre, like Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper, which are incredibly well done and enjoyable to play, and actually put some time into gameplay and speed, there's not much of a reason to play this clunker.

spyro the dragon is the best

I love the Spyro games, but I bought this and returned it because the glitches made it unplayable. Absolutely horrible. Do NOT waste your money. Ratchet and Clank is a terrific substitute though.

Not as good as the others, but still playable...

As a BIG Spyro fan I was VERY disappointed in this game. I like that you get more functions and it's nice to have new worlds to conquer, but the action is slow and it takes quite a bit of getting used to. (I keep falling off cliffs because he doesn't stop as fast as he used to!) Overall I think it's a fun game and I will complete it...if for no other reason than because I'm stubborn, but if you're not a really big fan of Spyro you might not want to waste your money on this game.

WORST GAME EVER!

When I heard a new spyro game was out, I happily rented it. When I entered it into my PS2, I quickly noticed that this game was not made by Insomniac (My favorite video game creators.) I assumed that I may still like this game. Well, I was 100% wrong! Why? 1) They have Ripto return after you defeated him in the first game. 2) Graphics that make it look like the worlds are made of paper, and 3) The glitches. I then thought, The perfect spyro series has been ruined. So, instead of buying this awful, and stupid game, play the PS1 spyro games. Sadly, this is the worst game I have ever and always will be, other than any PS2 spyro game. Bye.

ok i guess

I've been a spyro fan since the first game.But this game is a big disapionment.WHY?!Ok i'll tell you why.The reason is that in the previous game's of spyro including spyro season of ice for gba had new boss.But this game ripto is back.Not that weak little shortey again.Anyways hear are the pro's and con's

Pros:
The graphics are good enogh 7,6/10
The music is good 8,8/10
The breath's are awsome 10/10

Cons:
The sound i hate it
The boss battle's are stupid
No playable caractar's

In my saying the game is not worth you're money.If you like spyro rent the game.

not worthy of your time.

i have labeled myself as one of spyros biggest fans. the series included adventorous gameplay exciting puzzles and spyro was one of those few platformers that couldhold my intrest because the game in my veiw is very entertaining. but who could love his latest adventure etd its terrible. it lacks creativity and charm. the sound effects give you a migrane. and the collecting dragonflies is stupid. a bad plot fewer levels than other spyro games and the load times are sooooooooo long. do not buy this game get any other spyro just not this one. the game is also overflowing with glitches bad camera angles and slimy characther acting. do not buy this game get any other spyro just not this one.

Spyro!

I LOVE Spyro, and I waited so long for this game!! It looks great, but nothing really new and surprising was in the game(like in the last ones). It did end rather fast also. But if you are a Spyro fan, you will like this game too. There are no other games like this out there. It isn't as EASY EASY as the other ones (this I say because there was one mini-game I couldn't beat and that prevented me from getting to the final boss. Grrr.) but it feels familiar. I really hope that another one is made that will top this one, but still be beatable.

mockery of spyro games

this isnt at all like the other spyro games which i loved its a poor example of a spyro game. first of all i love spyro ive played all his games trough and heavily enjoyed every minute playing. but heck theres hardly anything to like about this new game. it has pathetic graphics only 8 levels and completely lacks the charm the other 3 had. everything that can be found good about the other ones is completely lacking here. even though im a spyro fan this is probally one of the worst games i have ever played. the storyline really dosent give you a reason to do what your doing and the characthers really look stupid. basically no challenges at all. and in fact if you can find a challenge it would be stearing the camera in the right direction. i promise you this has the worst camera angle and control problems ive ever seen in a video game. the controls make spyro fall down as hes trying to jump from platform to platform or rock to rock. the sound effects are really bad and there are also a lot of glitches all over the place like a nonrecorded gem collection or the game automaticaly freezing. plus the load times are superlong. i know some of you are getting tired of hearing that but seriously some games on the playstation 2 dont even have to load. the only thing spyro fans will get that theyve known from the last 3 spyros is the gems there everywhere and you can collect them by walking up to them. the thing you have to try to collect in this game are dragonflies because ripto has stole them. and now you get to have new bireath abilities fire ice and elictricity. BIG DEAL RIGHT what ever you do do not buy this game. just go play the first 3 again my personal favirote would have to be the original.

poor

this game is poor. ok heres the basic idea of the the losers who created this game. make a platform game thats mediocre. we can get away with it. these people arent trying to make a good game theyre just trying to associate themselves with spyro. so they can make quck bux during the holiday season. this game is horrible the graphics are awful. the camera angles are just plain ridicolus. the camera cant keep up with the action. everytime spyro jumps or charges pr anything else the camera is racing over toward you. sometimes spyro will charge and suddenly the camera zooms in and stops the charge leaving spyro facing the wrong direction. i HATE the controllers they are terrible. im never bothered by bad controls but this is just insane. jumping from platform to platform will actuaully belive it or not be a painstaking task in this game. everytime i try to jump i just fall down unless i study a position perfectly. and its not gauranteed to work then either. not only that ocasiionaly youll automaticaly talk to a characther without selecting the to talk button. these are just a few examples off the horrible camera work and excrustacingly bad controls youll find here. but wait theres more. the game takes about 50 seconds to load and in the gaming world thats pretty long. and there also a ton of glitches that include the system freezing up walking underwater losing hundreds of gems for no reason countless cheap deaths huge lines coming out of bad guys. the bad guys are way too easy and the puzzles are irritating and repetitive. the characthers look really stupid like there retarted or something. one characther jimmy bob the aligator just stares over his shoulders like a moron. theres other bad things too though. like youll have to go from portal to portal collecting as much as 1000 gems in each one. all of them are harder to collect too. theres only 9 levels unlike the 30 or so that was in the previous spyro games. ripto is the only boss youll fight in the whole game. the special collectible here is dragonflies and the most reward you get in the entire game is a few new breath abilities. the game isnt long difficult or challenging it is repetitive annoying and disgusting however. even at the end of the game you dont get any special reward or bonus like you did before. and the graphics are disgusting there always dropping in framerate which makes them hideous to look at. you know ive always loved spyro but i refuse to play this one. to buy this would simply be to do yourself wrong. especially consedering the greatness of games like rachet and clank going commando and jak 2. i so glad i got rid of enter the dragonfly. its a wonderful fresh new feeling to have fun with video games again. especially after this horribly unsatisfying platformer a complete ripoff unless collecting gems means everything to you.
