Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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. --Kasty Thomas

Pros:

  • Large worlds provide hours of game playing
  • Variety of scenarios
  • Engaging graphics
Cons:
  • Low game skill requirements may prove less challenging for expert players


Manufacturer's Description
This highly successful platform game goes PLATINUM! The player takes control of "Spyro", a little dragon with heaps of attitude. His family of dragons have been turned into crystal statues by Gnorc the Gnasty and it's Spyro's mission to find and free his family, before squaring up to Gnorc for the final battle.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent and gripping/addictive game, 31 Aug 2003
By A Customer
this game is amazing i have Spyro The Dragon and Spyro 2 and i love them both. I love playing on it. It is worth the money (well i think it is) it is a bit of a strategy game and it also has a bit of action in it.

there is loads of levels and great other characters.
The main plot of this game is to free all the the dragons and complete all the levels.
It isnt a short game it does last awhile and you can play loads of times and it never ever gets boring

5.0 out of 5 stars The best game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 3 May 2001
I'm a 12 year old from west sussex, but even though the minimum age for this game is 3 years old, I think it's the best game ever, even my 45 year old dad loves it and my mum coulden't wait to see another dragon freed. The graphics are great, the sound is great and Spyro himself is such a sweet dragon. I can't wait to resieve Spyro 2 which I recently bought from Amazon. I would recommended it to anybody, any age, on earth and my best mate can't wait to have a go at spyro 2!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Spyro The Dragon, 6 Jan 2002
Not the most challenging of games but Spyro The Dragon is fun to play.The levels are bursting with puzzles, activities and, of course, enemies. The main aim of the game is to free dragons that have been captured in stone by Gnasty Gnorc (the big boss). Enemies are fun to play with and bosses are fairly easy to defeat. If you found this review inspiring (probably not) and decide to buy Spyro and find it fun then try playing these games : Spyro The Dragon 2, Spyro: Year Of The Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2 etc.
