Rating:  - Best Spyro Game Yet!
This game is definitely the best of the Spyro trilogy. You can jump, glide, hover, flame, charge, headbash, swim, climb, and other amazing power-ups like superflame, superfly and invincibility. Team up with Zoe, Sparx, Hunter, and, unfortuneately, Moneybags. The levels are big and challenging, plus you can pilot planes, tanks, subs, skateboards, jet rockets, and if you can find out the code, even a squid. (No, I'm not lying). But wait, there's more. You can command one of 5 new characters: Sheila the Kangaroo, Sgt. Byrd, the flying penguin, Bentley the yeti, Agent 9 the space monkey, and, of course, Sparx. Defeat 4 bosses as Spyro, plus 4 as Sparx! And if you collect all 15,000 gems and 149 eggs in the regular worlds, you can enter the Super Bonus Worlds, where you defeat the Sorceress again! In the Speedway levels, complete the time attack and then try again. But don't go for the objects. In each Speedway level, Hunter's hidden there and you have to find him to get an egg. But, be careful in the first Speedway world. In the non-Greastest hits edition, if you challenge the butterflies to a race, you might win but not get the egg. There's no way to fix this!
Also, after you defeat the boss in each of the Sparx worlds, Sparx gets a special ability. If you complete the:
1st-Sparx can pick up gems further away.
2nd-Hold down L1, L2, R1, and R2 and Sparx points to the nearest gem.
3rd-Sparx has an extra hit point.
4th-You can warp to any level from your atlas/Sparx breaks open vases and baskets, which hold gems.Once you get to know the controls, it's easy to maneuver Spyro around. And if you need help, go to the Help section when you pause. It tells you how to control your character. Buy this game. It's definitely worth your money. Once you start, you won't want to stop!
Rating: - Best of the series, in more ways than one
Insomniac has taken all the best elements of the first two Spyro games, brought them into the third, spruced them up and added a whole lot more from their bag of tricks to provide the best Spyro game to date. This time around, Spyro -- with the help of his friends from Spyro 2 -- is trying to rescue dragon eggs from an evil sorceress. (Said eggs always hatch just as he gets them, treating the player to a brief animation of a baby dragon.) The environment is more interactive, with cannons, submarines, skateboards and more to play with. And the most dramatic change from the previous two games is that in addition to playing as Spyro, the game features play as Sparx the Dragonfly (in old school videogaming action), Bentley the Yeti (who plays whack-a-gnome and boxes), Sgt. Byrd the flying commando penguin, Shiela (who has a sidescrolling platform game in addition to her high-jumping levels) and Agent 9 the crazed space monkey (whose Doom parody level has to be seen to be believed). And through it all, the animation, voice work and overall design is flat-out charmig. Easier than Spyro 1, larger and more impressive than Spyro 2, "Spyro: Year of the Dragon" is this Playstation series going out with a bang. Great fun for the whole family.
