Spyro the Dragon thread

This is going to go places!

Spyro was decent when it came out, but it paled in comparison to Crash. I have fond memories of playing the second game, but that's all they are, fond memories.

*Candy Kappa* · 02-13-2013, 12:18 PM

played the first game, it's okay.

*Donnie* · 02-13-2013, 12:33 PM

I loved the first game as a kid. It was truly awesome! I wish I stuck with the series, though. Only played the first one.

*Wildcat* · 02-18-2013, 02:30 AM

1, 2 and 3 were great.

Enter the Dragonfly was ok...glitchy stuff like slowdown hurt it.

A Hero's Tale was just as great as the originals imo. Gets overlooked after "Enter".

Legend series wasnt my thing. Played the first but it was all just on-rails fighting with waves of enemies.

Have not played the Skylanders series but I really want to.

Play it, it's such a great game.

*snake* · 02-18-2013, 09:56 AM

I played the first one, liked it, skylanders doesn't feel like a Spyro game, it feels like something with spyros name pasted on it, he doesn't even play a big role in the game (if you don't play as him)

*AT-Man* · 02-18-2013, 10:14 AM

I love the first trilogy. Played Enter the Dragonfly and it was ok too, good attempt at least. I have no interest in playing the later ones.

Well, Skylanders is really a franchise of it's own, it really doesn't need Spyro.

*Allio* · 02-18-2013, 06:58 PM

of the six games I played

probably Ripto's rage is my favorite
Dawn of the dragon second
A new Beginning and Eternal NIght equal
and Spyro 3 year of the dragon was just down right terrible

the first Spyro is more Nostalgic to me than any thing

*Wildcat* · 02-18-2013, 11:06 PM

^ Spyro 3 terrible? LOL. Thats like the best in series.

It was just like the first 2 but with bigger environments, challenges and levels.

If its the side characters you didn't like you dont need to do every single one of their stages unless youre going for 100% and unlocking the bonus level. You do need to play some to beat the game though.

Besides their segments are not that big and are a nice change of pace.

honestly the "challenges" were not much, but then again, compared to Spyro one in that tree top level where you had to run around 2 charge ups to get that one dragon... everything just fails in comparison

as for environments, I felt them very small, but I suppose thats only because they always open up a path at the end, to connect the beginning and the end of the stage

the side characters I don't mind... its just, that... in the levels, you can clear basically every stage, get all gems and eggs all accept for 1...there just really isn't any replay-ability in the worlds

also...WORST. FINAL. BOSS. EVER!

also... one thing I liked about Ripto's Rage, was that each of those worlds all had an opening and closing sequence... which gave it... you know, kind of life

I don't know... perhaps I just felt like it was just more repetitive than fun

*Wildcat* · 02-20-2013, 12:18 AM

^ They opened a path connecting the beginning and end so you wouldn't have to run around for when you needed to return to get an egg that was previously unattainable. Just look at everything you did to get back...theyre at least normal size levels.

I agree there isn't much replay value other than going for 100% but I dont think its meant too. None of them are. Theyre standalone adventures.

Ya the last boss isnt that exciting.

Anyway, part 3 is not drastically different from the first 2. Its really just more of the same but with far more to do. You call it repetitive but its really more fun to be had. Ive always felt Riptos Rage was too short.

Your right skylanders is called that and I do agree they did just plaster his name on it but you gotta remember this game was made for kids who didn't know who spyro is so therefore making him a player along with many others such as cynder & whirlwind not criticizing the game but still i'll stick to normal everyday spyro activision

Spyro The Dragon... HUGE part of my childhood... First video game I ever played...

Oh, yes. Spyro is a big part of my childhood. Loved the first three and replayed them many times! First one is and always will be my favorite, though.

I remember trying Enter the Dragonfly once. It was ok, I guess. Didn't keep me entertained for long, but I've seen worse.

I think Skylanders is a neat thing for today's kids. It might even introduce some of the younger ones to the older Spyros, which I think is great.
