Spyro the Dragon

I still remember seeing the previews of Spyro The Dragon back in 1998 it only build up my interest and wanted to play it.

I got to try out the demo before finally getting it to rent and later own my copy on Playstation.

Spyro The Dragon is one of the best reasons to have a Playstation and it is one of the best video games ever created.

The game just have everything that a video game fan would want and then some plus the game is family safe and the whole family will enjoy it.

I mean what's better than being a Dragon and getting to use fire breath attack? In a open world that gives a strong reason why Platform video games are always a winner.

The story of the game is that little purple dragon named Spyro must save his world from a evil creature named Gnasty Gnorc who cast a spell turning all the other dragons into Crystal statues and it's up to Spyro to rescues them as well as he must collect all the treasure that Gnasty Gnorc has stolen as well.

Graphics in the game are amazing for the Playstation as you can see the open world in each World you visit in the game. The game has such great designs and super colors for the characters and levels for the game to give it a great attention. Every world in the game feels awesome.

The sound is top notch as the music is a driven force in the game, each world has it own theme. They did good with making great music for the game that you wish it was on CD. Plus the voice acting is very good the monsters in the game making funny grunts.

The controls in the game are easy to pick up and play, it what makes the game great for the controls make it fun.

The Game play is a winner as well nothing better said about Spyro Game play where everyone can pick it up and play. It also tests your game skills and gives you a challenge when you want it.

Spyro The Dragon is one of the best examples of a video game done right and is a must have for any fan of platform games and video games in general.

I give Spyro The Dragon an 10 out of 10

This game simply has some of the most beautiful graphics I've seen on the PlayStation.It has a nice,cartoony feel to it.You can interact with objects in the worlds(i.e. Flaming a rose causes it to burn).The voice acting for the dragons is great,too.Although I must admit the game isn't really that much of a challenge,if you love staring at good graphics this platformer can't be beat! :)

Spyro The Dragon is a great game and now considered a classic. I found this game very educating as I was only 6 years old at the time this game came out. Therefore I am 13 at the moment. It also was one of the first games to have realistic graphics. When I was eight my dad bought me a Playstation, Spyro was the first game I ever bought and I was so excited to play this game and when I played it, I could not let go of the controller. Looking for the dragons, unlocking new levels by completing one of the levels on the particular world that you are in.

Even my Dad enjoyed playing as he always loved flying around in Sunny Flight, Night Flight, Crystal Flight and all the rest. It was a brilliant conclusion to the game as it was extremely fun in the Gnasty Gnorc level and then in Gnasty's loot.

It would probably be a great game if it was released today!

Back in the 90's, when the gaming world wasn't dominated by FPS, fake guitars or sandbox-like GTA-gameplay, there were many great 3d platformers. But it was one of them which really, really got me since the first time I played it. No, I'm not talking' about Super Mario 64, neither Banjo Kazooie, it's all about a tiny purple dragon called Spyro.

"Spyro the Dragon" came out in 1998, a time where the industry move into 3d was almost complete and it was, IMO, a perfect example of this move done right. This game was awesome, it had everything a good platformer should have: interesting characters(mainly in design, but sometimes also in personality), huge areas to roam (pre-GTA), plenty of stuff to collect, several secrets to discover, inspired (if somewhat quirky) enemies to defeat, vibrant, colorful graphics and environments and the best part is that it didn't feel like another Mario clone!!!!.

So, if you are into platformers or just want good clean fun, you should definitely try this game or any of its great sequels ("Spyro: Ripto's Rage" or "Spyro: Year of the Dragon"). Highly recommended!!!!

I can complete this game, 100% and without dying, in just under 4 hours with bathroom breaks. I love it. I don't know how many times I have played it through but it's a lot. It remains the best SPYRO game in the franchise after so many entries as it isn't convoluted with irritatingly fiddly missions.

Stuart Copeland's music is the legendary icing on the cake. The designs of the hub worlds and levels are enthrallingly original. The voice acting is spot on. I love this game.
