I own the first 3 Spyros & love them to bits.. this is like a beta-version of a platform game! RENT THIS GAME FIRST.. that is a warning, you will spend way too much money if you buy this. I am still shocked at the low quality & GLARING software bugs in this Spyro game.. I really am just stunned.

good news for the spyro jaded

Hey all,

I just called the customer service number that came with the game, and they apparently are issuing full refunds for the purchase price of the game now :) Just return the game with a copy of the sales reciept, no questions asked. Also, they said they're working on a replacement cd that will be ready middle of 2003 (though I wonder if that will be enough time to work out all the bugs.

Next time, Universal, I hope you can get it right.

Don't bother....terrible!!

Game is not smooth, tremendous load times and hangs up occasionally. Definitly not on par with past Spyro games and NOT worth the 49.95 they charge. The developers should be ashamed!Compared to the graphics and game play of a game like Jak and Daxter this is truly disappointing. Save your money. I wish I had.

Can I enter no stars?

Yikes. Could this be any worse? For one, the frame rate is horrible and definitely not nearly on par with the previous three games, which, for the previous reviewer, were made by Insomniac Games, not by the company who produced (or shall we say butchered?) this game.

If you're a fan of Insomniac's genius, check out their newest game Ratchet & Clank. This blows even the good Spyro games away!

YEAR OF THE DRAGON WAS BETTER

Please do not purchase this game.

I have been a huge fan of Spyro since I was, oh, about 4 or 5. It was the first game I purchased when I recieved my Playstation as a present. All of the original games were exciting, fun to play, with memorable characters, beautiful landscapes, and an original plot.

A couple years ago, I got sick, and as a get well present, my parents bought me a Playstation 2, along with Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. I stuck it in the machine, started playing, and became very disappointed.

The loading time between levels took extremely long, and my game had many glitches. I traded it for another copy of the game, which had glitches as well. This went on for about 8 different copies of Spyro 4, until my parents refused to take me out to exchange it anymore. My current game has a serious glitch in the first level, where all the landscapes are purple, and the dragonflies are frozen in place, and if I attempt to rescue them to machine freezes. Since I can't get any dragonflies, I am unable to move forward in the game.

The graphics are good, but they are too bright and smoot for my tastes, and when there is a delay between an action and the sound it makes, so that when you run into sheep, or the like, no sounds come out until a couple of seconds after it explodes, which is rather odd to watch.

My opinion.

DON'T WASTE YOUR $$

This game is Terrible!! I love Spyro but this game is a HUGE disappoinment!! There are only 8 main levels and only 1 world, plus when you get to the end of the game (which will only take about a day and a half) the boss is so easy to beat it's truely sad. And all he says when you do beat him is;...a couple words and then the credits roll! I am completely discusted with this game and the no talent company that put it out. I guess I should of learnd my lesson with Crash for playstation 2.

I bought a PS2 for this????

Wow - what happened to Spyro? I can't believe that I waited two years for this disaster. I've never played a game that had so many bugs in it. Unfortunately, you can't return a game once it's been opened. If you could, the line to return Spyro:Enter The Dragonfly would be as long as the load times. What a disappointment.

Crash Test Crashed!

Being a big Spyro fan, I was looking forward to playing the new Spyro enter the dragonfly game. After getting the game and playing it, within a few hours i noticed so many bugs, faults and bad ploting it made me disgusted. I know the creaters are not the usual Insomniac (spelling is probably wrong) company but whoever these "Universal Interactive" company is, they should of paid a bit closer attention to the testing of the game before letting it out on stores. The game's filled with crashes, freezing and invisable items that can harm you that come out of no where can be very frustrating. Not to mention the plot is very bad and there is no ending what so ever. Personaly i think it was made to get money out of the name itself and not for the quality. Sadily if Universal Interactive continue making new spyro games i will not buy them and will encourage others to not waste their money. They did such a poor job that my liking in Spyro died with the "no ending to the game" of "enter the dragon fly". Sorry Spyro, if insomnac come back to making Spyro I'll came back playing within a heart beat..till then...universal will continue killing off the cute lil dragon as we know.

Nice try, Vivendi, but I'm buzzed off. This Spyro is a drag.

I was very disappointed after anticipating and ordering early... what a riptoc-off! I felt like i was the one falling off a cliff this time.

There's more bugs than dragonflys in this shoddy version of Spyro. For starters, someone should fire their Quality Assurance team (hint).

This obviously is the product of a company rushing to get product out before Christmas.

I just made it to the last level - in 5 days.

Despite... swearing repeatedly at the numerous forced restarts after random freezes, graphics glitches (my favorites were Spyro against an all black background, or suspended mid-air after the landscape disappeared leaving nothing but a sky), random re-appearances of the bad guys, framerate issues, annoying sounds that "stick" and buzz even when you aren't near the sound-source, Chloe not appearing out of the "sparkles", Chloe's saves not saving properly, saves between worlds failing, and general quality issues.

Despite... finding the shallowness of the product that provides only one quarter of the worlds to explore compared to previous Spyro games, trivial challenges, the repetitive nature of speedways, lackluster puzzles, no supercharges or precarious chases... etc.

I just read in the Sierra forums a post stating that someone called Tech Support and found out they will not issue an updated disk unless they get 100 calls a day.... fine with me. Once burned, twice shy I say . Bring back Insomniac!
