Spyro the Dragon

Spyro The Dragon is the first game in the unbeatable Spyro series (well, it was only unbeatable when it was on the PsOne), and it really delivers. Unfortunately, unlike the other Spyro games, there is very little dialog, and pretty much the only characters that talk are Spyro and dragons you free from stone by walking up to them, but the game makes up for that and a few other flaws by its amazing and fun game-play,and the worlds and characters beautiful animation. The music also is great, and I think you should definitely play this game if you are a fan of Spyro or just fun action adventure games.

9/10

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 really grew up loving this fantastic PS1 game. I can still remember playing it when I was younger, and remember how it enticed and entertained me every time I play it. It has such wonderful 3-D settings, memorable characters and villains and has a fantastic fun-loving spirit. The creativity is always present, it's like everything you touch is interactive. The hero is memorable. The villains are great, and even funny too. Well, there are those that can get annoying (like the green druids or the mooning soldiers), but they were meant to be as annoying as they can get, so the more you get to squash them or burn them. Anyawy, I really love it. No matter what age you may be, I really recommend it. Nice graphics, neat settings and all that and more.

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.

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!
