 Good, but far from Spyro's glory days Nov 04, 2004
By Harper Johanson
I have always been a rabid Spyro fan, probably more so than what others would consider mentally healthy. The first three Spyro's are still my favorite video games fo all time. I, like many Spyro fans were, was disgusted with Enter The Dragonfly, which I bought out of loyalty despite bad reviews.
When I saw a video for Spyro A Heroes Tail I had some hope, as it did not appear choppy and laggy like its predecessor. I got the game yesterday and I have gotten through a decent amount of it. I am enjoying the game, but I consider it a new brand of Spyro, as it seems detached from the rest of the series.
Spyro's moves have ben altered, instea of jumping and gliding you now double jump and glide, that took getting used to. There are small things that bother me, basically that there are four homeworlds with only two levels each. Don't get me wrong, the levels are MASSIVE, but it doesn't feel the same, and you walk into the lvels more or less as opposed to taking the "old school" portals.
Rather than the passive slapstick humor used in the other games you often find Spyro giving a commentary to the player, it doesn't work. There seems to be very little connection between this and the other Spyro game's, every voice actor is different (except maybe Sgt. Byrd) and there are new completely useless dragon characters that are Spyro's size. And they turned Moneybags into some kind of Arabian salesman, whats that about?
Overall, the game is slightly above mediocre, and if you are expecting a Spyro returning to tis roots, your in for a dissapointment.

Not enough promotion Jul 21, 2005
By Maryssa
I didn't even know that this game had been out for a month when I heard about it by recommendation. I was so excited because I have been a Spyro fan ever since I played the second game and it was the reason i bought a Playstation2! Anyways, I have all the Playstation1/2 games, this one was a birthday gift I got with the STRATEGY GUIDE. Under some pressure to change, this game is bigger and more difficult. The free roam is something to get used to, and I admit I hate that stupid mole and his missions. But, by collecting eggs of certain color, you get new things. All pink eggs and you can play as the cute pink dragon that has a crush on Spyro! There is also a male red dragon, but he looks just like Spyro... Did I mention how I hate the mole missions?? It consists of bombing spiders and leaping distances- or plummeting to a drowing death.
I really like it though it has frusterated me, and I BEG them to keep making Spyro games!!

Fun but different Nov 17, 2004
By Opus
After the last game Spyro Enter The Dragonfly, I wasn't about to put out 50 bucks again so I decided to rent it first. Turns out it's not bad. It's not the same as the first 3 but it's ok. The levels are huge, the graphics are vivid and the controls work really well. The story and missions are about the same but hey, it's Spyro.
I think that the music and "Monet Skies" that were used in the first 3 Spyro's gave it a magical feel and that is lacking in this game. The new music gives the game a Caribbean feel. I also don't like what they did to the character of Moneybags. He was a English stuffy snob in the first 3 and they should have left him alone. I can't pinpoint the accent but they made him really obnoxious.
I also don't like the new voices. They are horrible! Spyro use to have a little bit of an edge but his new voice makes him very wimpy.
All in all the game was fun to play and I've decided to buy it.

 Where did Spyro go? Dec 31, 2004
By S. Kaufeld
If you're looking for a Spyro the Dragon game don't buy this one. If, like me, you've been a fan of the past games and are looking forward to this newest game in the series to continue with some great new adventures in the familiar format, don't buy this game. The problem with this game, in my opinion,is that its supposed to be part of an ongoing series, and yet, for all those who are already familiar with the format of Spyro it changes all the rules.
At the very least when you move from one game to another in the same series you expect the basic functions of the character to remain the same. This Spyro changes them. Circle is no longer for flame, square is no longer for charge (in fact they're switched cir. for charege, square for flame-give a good reason for that) and two x's does not make a glide for Spyro. These changes made it extremely difficult to function in the beginning and I continue to get confused. Also, as far as I can tell, there's no longer any way to move the camera when you're just standing about, to get a good view of the whole area, but maybe I just haven't figured that one out yet.
The thing that really bothers me, though, about the newest Spyro game is that the gameplay has completely changed. The whole reason I liked these games in the past is because it was never really about getting passed bad guys, they were always pretty easy. Spyro the Dragon was about exploring three dimensional worlds to find all kinds of hidden object and secret places. It was about being observant of the environment around you because you didn't know where you might miss a crack in the wall you could break through or a ladder on the side of a building that will take you to that hidden cave. This Spyro game tends much more to Crash Bandicoot gameplay; its become about obstacles, swinging axes and wooden logs that move up and down in the way of your path. While obviously some of that existed in the past, it is now one of the main challenges of the game, while the familiar puzzles and challenges that made Spyro different from any other game I've found are gone. If I wanted Crash Bandicoot I would buy Crash Bandicoot, but, I was looking for something else.
There are all kinds of other unnecessary annoying changes. All I can say is that if you liked the other Spyro games, you'll find this one extremely frustrasting and disappointing. If you can get past it, there's an ok game to be played, but just ok.

 Not the same, but great! Aug 28, 2006
By Clifford Parson
"oscillator"
I am a BIG Spyro fan and I have been playing the old classics for quite some time. This game is NOT like those! If you're a stickler for similarity and familiarity then you might not want to spend your money on this, but if you can stand a little change then go for it! I read a lot of reviews before I bought this game so I knew it would be different from the old ones. That didn't really help since I didn't know I would have to relearn the controls for his functions as well as get used to a whole new attitude and type of game play, but I still LOVE this game and find it VERY MUCH FUN! It just takes some getting used to.
