Product Description

Product Description
In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Spyro must save the Dragon Realms from the Evil Red Dragon who has planted light-sapping Dark Gems all over the Dragon Realms in an attempt to capture and control the world. With the help of his allies, Spyro must seek out and destroy all of the Dark Gems to return the lands back to normal and to save the Dragon Realms from the evil dragon's tyrannical control.

Players guide the fiery purple dragon across dark, mysterious lands which change and morph from evil to good during gameplay, affecting enemies, environments, music, lighting, objects, and more. In addition to playing as the heroic leader Spyro, gamers will also have the opportunity to play as weapons master Hunter the Cheetah, dive-bombing penguin Sgt. Byrd, loyal sidekick Sparx the Dragonfly or the all-new burrowing, climbing Blink the Mole. Equipped with mighty new abilities including the Wall Kick, Tail Swing and Ledge Grab; brand-new power-ups such as the supercharged Horn Dive, explosive Brimstone Bombs and deadly Ice Shards. Spyro also battles his enemies with powerful breath attacks – Fire, Ice, Electricity and the all-new Water.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spyro A heros Tail! The best Spyro adventure yet!, 26 Aug 2004
Spyro a heros tail has to be the best adventure game it has ever been my pleasure to play!
This is the story - All is not well in the Dragon Realms.... The fallen Dragon red and his ghastly crew are using the Dark gems to drain the life from the dragon world and its up to a group of five friends to stop them! Playing as Spyro, Hunter, Sparx, Sgt. Bird and Blink you must fight your way through 4 gigantic realms and over 40 different levels in an attempt to stop Red and the forces of evil! New features to the game include devices such as the ball gadget, the invincibility gadget, 3 new forms of power breath, 4 types of fun rewarding mini games and graphics that are far better than those in the previous games! Spyro a Heros Tail is fun for all ages! Dont bother buying any other adventure games for the family this christmas! Spyro a Heros Tail is all you need! And Dont forget......... THE ADVENTURE HAS JUST BEGUN!

4.0 out of 5 stars very nearly a return to form, 9 Jan 2005
i am a huge fan of spyro, and own all his ps1 and 2 games and have for quite a while. i love the series, and think the 3rd game was the best, and the 4th was absolute rubbish. so as you can guess, i wasn't expecting great things from this one. it starts off all well and good, albeit a bit too easy. and that goes throughout the game, its just a bit too easy, for someone like me who wants to relive the spyro i've loved for all these years.im sure i'd be just the ticket for younger gamers, but all the way through the series i have thought it can pull in older and younger gamers alike, which has gone now, it's aimed solely and the younger generation. however, well done to them for bringing back the old characters, but where's bianca?

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic!, 12 Dec 2004
Absolutely great fun, we own all the Spyro games and after buying Enter the Dragonfly last year we were a bit worried this might be a bit of a flop, but we were not disappointed in the least. Graphics are great, Spyro has lots more abilities this time around too. My 6 year old son finished it this morning and is looking forward to starting it again tomorrow!
