The controls are excellently tuned to the visuals. A topnotch interface lets you track your jewel collection and dragon-saving for each level. This game really makes the Dual Shock controller shine. Nice attention to audio details and the catchy, mellow music match up with the gameplay quite nicely. Plenty of fun for days as long as you enjoy exploration as well as platform gaming and can hang with Spyro's cuteness.
Just moving Spyro around kicks. Judging from the version on display at E3, Spyro could raise the bar for PlayStation graphics. The 3D visuals were silky and seamless. Spyro himself was a visual treat as well, composed of smooth-edged polygons to create a lifelike look. Spyro isn't visual smoke: He has several gameplay techniques that could challenge the most seasoned gamer, including the ability to run, fly, roll, and even breathe fire.
Find out this fall. Spyro raises the bar for 3D mascot-type adventures on the PlayStation. It has slick, fast graphics, with barely any seams, warped textures or other common glitches. The camera is the best I've seen in this type of game.
Control is spot-on. The music and voice acting are first-rate--no surprise, considering the talent behind both. Even the title character is a likable little guy. As in Gex, Croc and their ilk, Spyro has you collecting stuff: gems, eggs, etc. It's fun, sure, and gathering everything on every level opens a cool bonus stage, but it's also a gameplay concept that's getting stale. The addition of individual objectives, as in Gex, would have been welcome.
And nearly all the Bosses are small, easy and decidedly unBoss-like. Still, Spyro has its unique qualities. The enemies--all well-animated--demand varied attack strategies depending on their size. You'll play five flying stages that would nearly make a cool game on their own.
In fact, the 35 levels are all well-designed and encourage exploration. You'll see lots of distant areas that make you mumble, "Hmm Spyro is easily the best-looking, smoothest-moving 3D platformer on the PlayStation to date. It's a little bit on the simple side aside from the very cool flying bonus stages, all you basically do is run around and collect stuff , but it's got just enough to it that it'll keep even hardened platform veterans hooked until the end.
The graphics are gorgeous, the music is solid and most importantly, the game is fun. Definitely check it out. Spyro combines the two most-important aspects of any good game: graphics and gameplay.
Be aware-Spyro can be difficult, but it still feels a little on the childish side at times. I only wish the control was a bit more friendly in high-risk areas. Very few games totally immerse you into the game as Spyro does. The lands you explore and the enemies you encounter all seem to fit well within the universe the game creates. The graphics are among the finest seen on the PlayStation and the play controls are perfectly tuned.
The only shortcoming of Spyro is the lack of diversity in his objectives which makes for repetitive play. Still, nothing comes close to Spyro in this genre.
From crocs to geckos to bandicoots, the PlayStation's library is populated with more goofball characters than poor PaRappa has fleas. Still, we at EGM--the professional vid-game journalists that we are--triple-ought dare you to find a cuter, more immediately likable character than Spyro the Dragon. We don't know if it's his kitten-like animation or the kid-at-summer-camp exuberance of his personality, but this purple little char-broiling mascot-in-waiting's got charisma coming out his ass.
Oh, and his game's pretty cool, too. Spyro the Dragon is another 3D platformer that, like Gex: Enter the Gecko and Banjo-Kazooie , emphasizes exploration and requires you to collect stuff. Lots of stuff. In fact, the plus levels pack thousands of gem-shaped treasure pieces that you'll ultimately have to track down and nab if you plan on perfecting the game.
Then there are the 80 dragon statues scattered across the stages. As the game's story goes, the diabolical Gnasty Gnorc cast a spell on Spyro's realm, turning all its dragon inhabitants into instant sculptures. Young Spyro, playing in a cave at the time, dodged the spell's effects, and now he must find and reanimate his elder reptilian brethren. Besides those goals, Spyro will also collect dragon eggs, keys and other items to access new other items to access new areas and bonus levels, such as special obstacle-course flying stages.
In a layout that's seemingly become the norm for these types of games, Spyro is divided into several massive overworlds--six of them--which in turn lead to the individual stages.
Included in this mix are the Boss stages for each world, as well as the bonus levels. Spyro's flight abilities are dependent on the current stage in some he can glide indefinitely, in others his little wings'll only take him so far. But in every level Spyro can breathe fire, headbutt baddies and roll sideways to dodge attacks.
Hidden levels? Sounds like standard 3D adventure-game stuff, right? Well, what Spyro lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in presentation and production values. Spyro may only be the second PlayStation game from developer Insomniac the same bunch that created the acclaimed first-person shooter Disruptor , but it packs all the perks of a third-generation, state-of-the-art PlayStation title. The lush environments don't suffer from seams, pop-up or other commonplace PlayStation glitches.
And there's not a bitmap to be found anywhere in the game even the skies are completely polygonal. But crisp visuals ain't the only thing separating Spyro from the me-too 3D crowd. Insomniac has taken special care to imbue the game with personality, making the enemies more than just troublemaking window dressing. If you go to several of the levels, in the distance you can see wizards and druids knocking each other down and kicking each other.
It really adds more to the immersiveness of the game and creates a world that is much more complete than you might see in other games.
The camera was also the target of much tinkering. Insomniac purposely kept the environments uncluttered. As a result, the camera encounters fewer structures and objects on which it might get snagged.
Players can also switch between two camera modes--one passive and one that automatically points in the direction Spyro's facing. What happens when you take five dragon families living in five dragon worlds and throw in a Jealous Gnorc?
If you guessed that you get a bunch of dragons trapped in crystals with only one hope, a dragon name Spyro and a dragonfly named Sparx, you guessed right!
It is up to you to rescue all the dragons and stop the Gnasty Gnorc. Think you have what it takes? I don't mean to say that Sony markets the crap out of their games, but let's just say that they do a pretty good job of getting the word out to the public when they have a new game that they want the world to know about.
Enter Spyro, the head-ramming, flame-throwing overly cute purple dragon. Metallic thumps are getting closer. Will you survive, Detective Bishop?

Once in a realm, Spyro may return to the homeworld by finding and entering that realm's unique "Return Home" whirlwind platform or by pausing the game and selecting "Exit Level. The adventure begins in the Artisans homeworld in the Dragon Realms presumably Spyro's home in Stone Hill on the day where the elder dragons, Astor and Lindar , are being interviewed for a video documentary about their world.
Little do they know, Gnasty Gnorc pronounced Nasty Norc , whom they previously banished from the Dragon Realms long ago to the Dragon Junkyard, somehow overhears their derogatory comments about him and becomes quite upset.
While in exile, Gnasty Gnorc has experimented with magic and on this fateful day, he decides to unleash two of his most powerful spells vengefully: one which freezes all the unsuspecting dragons inside crystalline statues and another which transforms a portion of the dragons' treasure into an army of gnorcs.
However, Gnasty Gnorc misses imprisoning the youngest dragon in the realm, Spyro who was seen chasing sheep in the background during the dragons' documentary shoot , because of his small size. Seeking to set things right, Spyro sets out to free all of the dragons. Traveling across the Dragon Realms, Spyro faces various adversaries and eventually manages to release all the dragons, who give him advice in return.
Spyro finally reaches the Dragon Junkyard, where Gnasty is waiting. After a battle, Spyro defeats Gnasty, putting an end to his evil plot once and for all. Like most platformer games, there are nearly certain unfortunate events that can lead to Spyro's death.
Sparx the Dragonfly follows Spyro around and indicates Spyro's health. Every time Spyro is hit, Sparx changes color:. To replenish Sparx back to yellow, Spyro can defeat fodder , which will spawn a butterfly.
Sparx will then eat it, causing him to regain one level of health. Small silver statues of a dragon can help back up extra lives also known as 1UP's that will revive Spyro.
