What happened to the Spyro we've all came to know and love?!

When I first started playing video games when I was 7, the first one I played was the original Spyro. I immediately fell in love with the game as well as the sequels.

Then a few years ago, Spyro came out on PS2. I was eager to get Enter the Dragonfly so when I got it for Christmas, I nearly jumped out of my pajamas.

*Pros*
- Well, Spyro's in it... as well as Moneybags and Hunter
- The slide in Honey Marsh is a lot of fun

*Cons*
- Honestly, I did not like the graphics. They were not part of the "Spyro World". Sure call me a loser... I don't care, but I loved the graphics before. They were cute and Spyro-friendly, and nobody should have changed it.
- Spyro used to move with such agile and feisty-ness. Now, like everyone else says, he moves like an elephant. My fingers turned red from pressing down on the buttons so hard trying to get him to move.
- What happened to the portals?! And who replaced them with these objects you have to FIGURE OUT if they're a decoration or take you to another level?!
- The game, levels, and mini-games take tooooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooooong toooooooooo looooooooooooooooad!!!!!!!
- It's extremely hard to see the dialogue when interacting with other characters. The text is bulky and all squashed together.
- The sound effects are better off for another game.
- Why is Ripto back?! I remember in Ripto's Rage spitting a ball of fire at him, causing him to fall off his Robo-Gulp and sink into a pit of lava and DIE! How the heck did he suddenly come back to life?!
- Hunter got a terrible makeover.
- Moneybags looks like he's dressed in his pajamas -- AND in Year of the Dragon after I beat the Sorceress, he told me he "Won't be needing anymore of my money". So why is he still here asking me for my gems? Even after I flamed his fat butt for all my money back?!
- All the levels are DARK (like Honey Marsh and Thieves Den). I can hardly see where I'm going.
- The dragonflies are mad hard to catch, unless you get lucky and the character dude gives one to you.
- What's the point of all these different breaths?! Ice? Electric? Bubble? All Spyro needs is fire breath. He's a DRAGON for Pete's sake, not some sort of mythical made-up goofball.
- His "shield" doesn't even work.
- Where is Zoe?
- All the mini-games are stupid and take too long to load. They are repetitive and confusing.
- The realisic graphics seems to suck out the gameplay -- probably also the reason why it takes so long to load a level.
- The storyline is horrendous - Ripto is taking his revenge by capturing all the dragonflies? And how come when he did, he didn't take Sparx too?
- The music is slow and depressing. What happened to the fun, popping music like in the first three Spyros?
- All the levels are too big -- it's really easy to get lost, so you have to jump off the side of the ground and return to a familiar part of the level.
- In the past games, each level had its own story (Spyro 3: Spooky Swamp: Light all 4 tea lamps, Spyro 2: Fracture Hills: Release all 6 dudes with the bag pipes so their music could break the wall blocking a building so you can rescue the girl. None of the levels have a unique story to it!

There's more, but that's all I could think of for now. Honestly, do not buy this game. Rent it if you're bored out of your mind. That's about all it's good for. R.I.P. Spyro.

Disappointing

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Universal Vivendi ruined this series for me. This game is better than the one I have for the Wii but not by much. There's only one world to explore and like a previous reviewer said, the level portals aren't named so that is a bit of a pain. Yes you do have to collect something other than gems in this one as in previous Spyro titles but mine froze quite a bit (probably got one of the earlier copies released) and the load time was annoying. I'm used to the PS games taking time to load but this one took forever! I could've gone and made a five course meal in the time it took. Okay so I'm exaggerating but as I recall the first 3 Spyro titles had quicker load times. Either way, even though it's been almost six years since I bought this game, I'm still disappointed with it.

Perfect for the kids!

If you're looking for a fun, inoffensive game for your kids, this (and all Spyro games in general) is great. My daughter has the first two Spyro games for our Playstation 2, and we got this one for her for Christmas... I was worried after reading some of the bad reviews, but if you're just a parent looking at this for your kid, there are no problems here. It's all pretty harmless, and everything works just fine. If I had any complaints at all, I'd say that you DO have to wait a little for things to load, but isn't that usually the case with Playstation anyway? Overall, great-- my daughter loves it, so I'm very pleased. Would definately recommend.

well, it is better than the Legend games..

I really liked the old games, but this one had too many glitches and was too short.. only took me an afternoon to finish it. Only thing I can say good about it is that it's better than the two games they put out after it (a new beginning and eternal night).. I like the old way of wondering around whereever you want and having to figure out lots of little puzzles.. linear playing is just too structured.

SPYRO ENTER THE DRAGONFLY

I have never had these problems with freezing, glitches, and other things with this game. Also, you must understand that the game was rushed while they were making it so that it could have been released earlier. Personally, I would have took my time and attempted moreso to make the game nearly perfect, so I know it is no excuse. If you are a true Spyro fan, you may still want to play this game.

It is fun and adventurous. The game was rushed so it is not top notch, but it is still a great game.

The Other Spyro Games Are Much Better

I had read that this game was not up the usual high standards of the Spyro series. But, being a big Spyro fan, I decided to give it a chance. Well I should have listened to the bad reviews because this game is very much inferior to the other Spyros I have played - "A Hero's Tail" for the PS2 and all of the Spyro PS1 games.

The load time for being transported to different worlds is way too long and the game itself is way too short. The challenges are less fun, movement is sluggish and there are several "glitchs" that caused the game to stop and forced me to start again. Overall it is just a very poorly designed game. Apparently the folks at Universal Interactive are no match for the people at Insomniac. The only bright side is that the game does still contain the same basic elements of play - collect gems and dragonflys to achieve 100% completion. But I would only recommend this to be the biggest Spyro fans who have already played the other Spyro games and even then you are likely to be disappointed.

The first Spyro game I ever played was the 2nd (Ripto's Rage) one for the good old Play station 1. Then the 3rd(Year of the Dragon),and then the 1st(Spyro The Dragon). The worst of the 3 was the first. The second one was a lot better,but the ultimate and my favorite Spyro game is definetly the 3rd.I highly recommend it. Since they got better every time I thought the 4th (Enter the Dragonfly) would be even better. I WAS DISIPOINTED! THIS GAME IS A RIP OFF. BUT... If you haven't played number 3 or 2 it's an ok game.
