Editorial Reviews :
Spyro is a cute purple dragon in a bit of a pickle. Each of Spyro's dragon friends has fallen victim to the nefarious Gnasty Gnorc, who has turned them into crystals. Accompanied by Sparx the dragonfly, Spyro sets out to free his buddies, while collecting gems and dragon eggs. Sparx also serves as Spyro's health-o-meter, glowing gold when Spyro is healthy and turning dusky green as he tires. To boost his energy, Spryo can blast docile creatures with fire, turning them into butterflies, which Sparx transforms into much-needed fuel.
This title has bright graphics in six well-developed worlds, each with several subworlds, including bogs, deserts, and ice worlds. Unlike some action games, in Spyro the Dragon the enemies are more fun than frightening. In the Peace Keepers world, for example, Spyro must burn down the monster soldiers' tent, sending one of the minions running out, quaking with fear or, if you're lucky, dropping his drawers and shooting a moon.
Spyro's movements (fire breathing, gliding, jumping, and climbing) require entry-level gaming skills. For this reason, Spyro the Dragon is an excellent title for youngsters or less experienced players, who want to play without having to master complex movement combinations.
Buyer Reviews :
I'm a 44-year-old businessman who encountered Spyro after buying my kids a Playstation for Christmas. I found the various magical worlds and Stewart Copeland's music to be enchanting.Spyro's non-gory brand of spunk (voiced by the guy who does the Taco Bell chihuahua!), combined with smooth 3-D animation, made the game so fun that I played it all the way through, myself. It was the perfect depressurizer after a tough day. As an older gamer, I was too clumsy to handle the 'supercharge' feature without a LOT of practice and lost lives.As a fan of Myst and Riven, I must say that Spyro was even more enjoyable simply because it was so light-hearted. I really hope there's a sequel in the works (my preference: more puzzles, less twitch-factor). Parents: a huge, vast, safe playground that rewards exploration--great for any kid (even you!).
