Improvements to Spyro!Dec 26, 2004
By Mali I got this for X-mas and I am a huge Spyro fan! I started with the second one and this is now the fifth release not counting gameboy games, and the second on Playstation 2. The last one, Enter the Dragonfly wasn't SO successful and I feared there wouldn't be another; but here it is! And SO many things have been added. Buying items at item shops, keychains for keys to open boxes, riding around in the professors new gadget ball, mini-games featuring not Spyro, but his friends,etc. i kind of miss flying Spyro through the rings in the speed race, but...This new Spyro is clearly trying to keep up with newer platform games that others seem to enjoy, but luckily they have kept things from being too hard that you give up eventually and you don't have to worry about wandering around and getting lost in the game. Spyro must learn new tricks like spin pole,etc. as he moves along, and he even meets little dragons like him- Ember,Flame. Hard enough to keep you playing to get through the challenge, but it never seems overwhelming. Some of the mini-game's second levels are a pain, but you can come back later. The strategy guide is also helpful. This time, I don't think anyone can complain that Spyro hasn't evolved or that it's the same old thing, but Spyro fans love Spyro even if it was the same game but with new adventures and levels. He's Spyro! Hours of enjoyment!

Great game for a 5 year old.Jun 26, 2006
By T. Moore Spyro was one of the first games my 5 year old ever played. It was challenging enough for him without being too frustrating. There are alot of Xbox games on the market that are for more mature audiences but this one was perfect for a 5 year old. This game was not meant for an adult gaming audience. I was surprised when I realized this game is no longer in production. There should be more games for the 5-10 age bracket. My son loves this game. He literally wore it out. I have to find him another copy of Hero's Tail to replace his old one.

Fun, but BROKENJun 24, 2005
By Madisen I bought this game on a whim; I am not a Spyro fan. For the first few hours, I found it quite enjoyable. It had colorful graphics, cool moves, and even some humorous aspects. Unfortuneately, it is UNBELIEVABLY frustrating. I'm quite skilled with platformers, but this game required perfect timing, accuracy, etc. All this led to a lot of anger on my part. Still, I might have managed to work through it...if it hadn't BROKE! Yes, that's right: when I tried to turn it on again, the XBox refused to read my saved file. And I must admit, I had no desire to start over. Eventually, I sold this game...and my XBox. Sorry, Vivendi; sorry, Bill Gates. You'll both have to come up with something less faulty next time.

Spyro! a heros tail?Sep 02, 2005
By Jay Burton
"Jay XxX"
i am a huge spyro fan, i have been playing since the first one, which was great, the second one better, the third one, ok, forth one What happened!! this one, after purchasing mine from amazon cheaply for something like £5 i regret doing so, it was a waste of money seen as the whole game is a bit repetative and frustrating, you never seem to get anywhere. all the voices have changed. if you are a series gamer and enjoyed the origional spyro games, dont buy this and dont be disapointed. however i would say that if you are under 12 you would probably very much enjoy the game.
