    [PokeCommunity.com] Spyro the Dragon?



    I started to play Spyro, Year of the Dragon again and boy I remember how nostalgic it was! Hm, has anyone played a game from Spyro the Dragon series? If so, which game did you play? Which ones are your favourite? Do you have any fond memories playing a game from the Spyro the Dragon games? Feel free to share!

    Played the original trilogy, that PS2 one, and both GBA games(season of fire/ice). Nothing can compare to YotD though, that game is like, whoa. Maybe nostalgia is speaking, but its one of the few games I ever truly loved. I really hate what they did to the series.
     
    I'll be straight forward here. I never played a single Playstation game until I went to my brother-in-law's brother's house back in like 2000. He had a Playstation, his wife was playing Spyro. I noticed the game looked so fun to play, so that's when I started playing games outside of the Nintendo world. All thanks to our favorite Purple Dragon!

    It was both Spyro the Dragon & Spyro: Year of the Dragon, the same game in the photo you posted above, that they had. In all honesty though, I haven't played a Spyro game in nearly forever now, I remember bits and pieces about the games that I simply cannot remember the entire details of them to put them into words. I've played plenty of Spyro games, though. I would love to replay them someday again, especially the ones for the Playstation.

    The couple of Spyro games that I have not played yet, are The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon for the Xbox 360, since I'm a big Xbox 360 type of fella, as well as Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Are they worth it?
     
    NO! The legend series that is. Skylanders as a separate entity is fine though, if you have kids or little siblings. The whole toy factor is a big turn off.

    I actually had a lot of fun playing Skylanders for the 3DS. I don't know how the game is on different systems (because it's really difficult to get the game itself without having to buy the starter pack, and I already have the three figures from that). The 3DS version, though, is a really fun platformer that reminded me of the original Spyro games. Maybe not in the amount of exploration that can be done in the original games, because the levels are on a straight path, but there's some collecting to do and difficult jumps. The combat's pretty good too, and it's interesting to see all the different attacks and movement the different characters have. If you do play, you'll find your favorites.

    The toy-collecting part is where the game gets annoying. If you only want certain characters (I wanted all the "dragons" from the first set) then good luck. Some only come in three-packs. Some are sold individually, but you can't find them in stores. I'm still missing Sunhawk because I just can't find her anywhere. For months, I was missing Camo but finally found him in stores...as a three pack. So now I have a double of one figure and another that I didn't want.

    That's really what's holding me back from playing the rest of the series of Skylander games. I want to play them, and they look like a lot of fun, but I just don't have the room for all the figures that I might want to buy or the money.

    As for the Legend of Spyro series, I found that it depends on what system you play them on. The GBA version was all right and easy enough to get through. The story of the series is probably my favorite out of all the Spyro games. But the combat is what ruins the whole experience. I played the first Legend of Spyro game on my PS2, and the charm that made me love Spyro games was lost. There was no exploration. No humor. No collecting. No fun. By the end of the game, I was just mashing buttons to get through the combat as fast as possible, and when I finally finished the game, I was left empty. I tried to continue the series on the PS2/Gamecube, but I wasn't interested, and the games only made me miss the original trilogy. Years later, I tried the Legend of Spyro games on the GBA, and had a little bit more fun playing the games, but... The magic was gone.

    The original trilogy? Well, I don't need to say much on it that hasn't already been said. Those games are simply pure fun to play. My favorite is Year of the Dragon for how much there is to do in that game with the four different characters. Plus all the other features that they added, like skateboarding!
     
    Shawn you made me remember my childhood again, thanks to this thread.

    I remember playing the original Spyro trilogy, with the cute environments and the soundtrack composed by the great Stewart Copeland (yeah of The Police fame) and I was addicted to the games for years all because I loved the soundtrack. I did play Enter the Dragonfly as well, but the loading times when going to another level were aggravating.

    Never played much of the ones after that sadly, so yeah I've still got nostalgia goggles on as far as Spyro goes. Still, a game that defined my childhood and always captured me.
     
    I've only played Ripto's Rage and Enter the Dragonfly. I beat RR, and was always hunting for the first game, but the places I went never had it for sale. He was one of my favorite Sony Series right with Crash Bandicoot
     
    I used to play Spyro all the time! I don't think I ever completed the older games because I was so young and wasn't very good at them :P They were still just fun to play though.

    However, I did buy and finish The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. I got it in I think 5th grade and loved it. I bought it again recently through the Xbox arcade because nostalgia and wasn't disappointed. It's still a ton of fun to play and brings back a ton of memories!
     
    OH GOD the last and only Spyro game I played was Fire and Ice for the GameBoy Advance and lemme tell you that was my favorite game for years. I was like... seven when I had it but oh my god it was so fun. The only thing I can remember about it now, unfortunately, is... some part where you're in the grass blasting fire at enemies or something. It was sooo long ago so I can't remember much, but it was so fun and I really want to find and buy a copy so I can play it again. ;_;
     
    Oh my god the nostalgia.

    I've grown up with Spyro, you don't even know how much I love the series. Same goes with Crash Bandicoot. I've played most of the games; those being Spyro The Dragon, Spyro 2 Ripto's Rage, Spyro Year of the Dragon, Spyro Enter The Dragonfly and Spyro A Hero's Tail.

    I've got to say that I enjoyed the first three the most. I found A Hero's a tail a nice change from the original layout of the main trilogy but I didn't like the length of Enter The Dragonfly. I just think they could have done way more with its storyline. It was rather disappointing.

    In regards to the newest installment of Spyro, that being Skylanders...I hate it, haha. I know they're by nature trying to make money, and to do that they've targeted the younger generation, but I find it really horrible. A similar things has happened to Crash Bandicoot. God, I sound so negative haha; but it's the honest truth! :P
     
    Spyro... Ahh WTF happened to him with Skylanders they ripped him off so bad. I hate who ever did that because not even actual spyro characters are IN skylanders. I loved the cross over games with crash bandicoot they were beast.
