Amazon.co.uk Review
The Spyro games on the PSone are remembered by many as some of the console's best 3-D platform games, and quite rightly so. In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, his first next-generation adventure, the world's smallest, friendliest, purple-est dragon is back to jump, glide and start brush fires, and the new game starts off well as you watch the dastardly Ripto accidentally disperse the magic dragonflies across the gameworld and force you, as Spyro, to bring them all back to safety.
One of the best things about Enter the Dragonfly is the huge number of moves at Spyro's disposal. As you'd expect of any dragon he can jump, fly, hover, head-butt and breathe flames--but now he can also breathe ice and electricity as well as magic bubbles (very handy for catching dragonflies, and a clever nod to arcade classic Bubble Bobble). Unfortunately the main problem with the game is the graphics, which, although they look okay in the screenshots, are very jerky when you play the game. The level design isn't terribly imaginative either and the game as a whole is surprisingly short.
Since Enter the Dragonfly isn't made by the same team as the previous Spyro games--those guys went on to make the excellent Ratchet & Clank instead--it's perhaps no surprise that it isn't quite up to its predecessors. It's still a quality game though and certainly one to consider for fans of the series. --David Jenkins

Spyro-enter the dragonfly,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (PS2) (Video Game)
A real disappointment. I was really looking forward to this game but have given up on it already. The movement of Spyro is not half as good as the PS1 games, he is much more difficult to control. The background graphics are quite blurry when you are looking and moving around and the game has crashed on me several times( there is nothing wrong with my playstation). It has left me feeling frustrated and hurts my eyes after a while of gameplay. Check out Ratchet and Clank instead, you won't be disapointed.

Spyro The Disappointment,
By Cowboy Buddha "David" (Essex UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (PS2) (Video Game)
I loved the Spyro games on PSOne so I looked forward to the little purple guy's appearance on PS2. The game, as always, looks great with imaginative and extensive levels to explore with the same 3D ease of sight and movement. The additional breaths - bubbles, electricity and ice - are a nice touch although trying to catch dragonflys in a bubble can sometimes be a chore. First impressions were quite favourable. BUT...as play progresses, I found myself longing for the Spyro of old. With the game 50% complete, I have yet to encounter an enemy who does little more than stand there waiting to be zapped. The various sub-games and challenges are largely re-hashes. Even so, Spyro does not always move quite as smoothly as he used to. The hover move is especially fiddly. Maybe it's just me, but it is frequently very difficult to complete a jump from one platform to another where hovering is required. This usually results in going round and round to get back to that point only to just miss the jump again. This sort of repetition creates a sense of frustration rather than challenge. I am now halfway through the game but feel little enthusiasm for doing the other half. Maybe the game was created for a different sort of player. But I get more enjoyment from re-playing the old PSOne Spyro games than I do from this new version.

Spyro The Disappointment,
By Cowboy Buddha "David" (Essex UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (PS2) (Video Game)
I always enjoyed playing Spyro on Playstation One and was really looking forward to the new game on PS2. It looks great - same fantastic 3D graphics and extensive worlds to explore. It was only when playing the game that disappointment began to creep in. The game has not really changed a lot. The little purple fellow is still picking up gems from all over the place and looking for friends (in this case, dragonflies) to free from the baddies. He has a couple of new tricks - electric breath, ice breath, bubble breath - but otherwise the scenario has a strong sense of deja vu. There are occasional mini-games and challenges, some of which closely resemble those in previous games. But instead of genuine challenge in the gameplay, you are confronted with repetition and frustration. I have reached the halfway point of the game and have yet to encounter an enemy who does little more than stand there and wait to be zapped. Lives are more likely to be lost attempting to carry out the unnecessarily fiddly glide-and-hover move to go from one platform to another. For some reason (or maybe it's just me) this move seems to have been made much more difficult than before and requires incredibly exact timing. Otherwise, you have to keep trying it over and over and over and over again. Having completed half the game, I have very little enthusiasm for doing the other half. Which is a pity because Spyro was always my favourite game character. But in this incarnation, he has been seriously let down by his creators. If I want to play Spyro now, I'll go back to the old games. At least they were fun.
