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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good But Not The Best Spyro Game, 8 Oct 2007
By Sarah Wood (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I brought this game as after my PS broke i got myself an xbox and really missed playing the old Spyro games.

Overall this game is ok but can be a little frustrating and some of the challanges can be a little long and eventually get boring. Even though i got to the end of this game i never got 100% unlike the other games because i couldnt be bother to play as the other charaters....especailly as Sparx

I did enjoy the improved grapics and the story was good and i have played this game a few times. I don't think this is a game for the xbox though and the controls can sometimes be frustrating so if your looking for a Spyro games stick to the playstation or buy it pre-owned as this is not worth the full price.

If your like me and love Spyro your'll find yourself missing the old PS1 games, i eventually went and brought a second hand PS1 so i could play them again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better..., 30 Sep 2006
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I'm a big fan of Spyro games, and when I got this for Christmas I thought "Wow! A Spyro game with great graphics and gameplay" (well not literally of course, but anyway...). So yeah, good graphics, though as a long time fan I actually preferred the polygons of the first 3 (while I normally scream if I see polygons in anything else). Shame about the gameplay. The controls are all wrong, to put it simply, and the challenges are way too hard/long. I had to give up after a few levels because I couldn't get used to the controls and finish the challenges to progress further! No more speedways now either, (at least, none as far as I got), as they've been replaced by Sgt. Byrde sorta... well... things. I had to buy a Ps2 to play my old versions (Ps1 broke) as this one made me miss them so much!

1.0 out of 5 stars Adventure game?
This is a lazy excuse for a game. Don't buy it unless you're under 5. Spyro used to be good- but Universal studios turned the series into a shockingly awful collect-em-up.
