Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What happened to the Spyro we've all came to know and love?!
When I first started playing video games when I was 7, the first one I played was the original Spyro. I immediately fell in love with the game as well as the sequels.

Then a few years ago, Spyro came out on PS2. I was eager to get Enter the Dragonfly so when I got it for Christmas, I nearly jumped out of my pajamas.

*Pros*
- Well, Spyro's in it... as well as Moneybags and Hunter
- The slide in Honey Marsh is a lot of fun

*Cons*
- Honestly, I did not like the graphics. They were not part of the "Spyro World". Sure call me a loser... I don't care, but I loved the graphics before. They were cute and Spyro-friendly, and nobody should have changed it.
- Spyro used to move with such agile and feisty-ness. Now, like everyone else says, he moves like an elephant. My fingers turned red from pressing down on the buttons so hard trying to get him to move.
- What happened to the portals?! And who replaced them with these objects you have to FIGURE OUT if they're a decoration or take you to another level?!
- The game, levels, and mini-games take tooooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooooong toooooooooo looooooooooooooooad!!!!!!!
- It's extremely hard to see the dialogue when interacting with other characters. The text is bulky and all squashed together.
- The sound effects are better off for another game.
- Why is Ripto back?! I remember in Ripto's Rage spitting a ball of fire at him, causing him to fall off his Robo-Gulp and sink into a pit of lava and DIE! How the heck did he suddenly come back to life?!
- Hunter got a terrible makeover.
- Moneybags looks like he's dressed in his pajamas -- AND in Year of the Dragon after I beat the Sorceress, he told me he "Won't be needing anymore of my money". So why is he still here asking me for my gems? Even after I flamed his fat butt for all my money back?!
- All the levels are DARK (like Honey Marsh and Thieves Den). I can hardly see where I'm going.
- The dragonflies are mad hard to catch, unless you get lucky and the character dude gives one to you.
- What's the point of all these different breaths?! Ice? Electric? Bubble? All Spyro needs is fire breath. He's a DRAGON for Pete's sake, not some sort of mythical made-up goofball.
- His "shield" doesn't even work.
- Where is Zoe?
- All the mini-games are stupid and take too long to load. They are repetitive and confusing.
- The realisic graphics seems to suck out the gameplay -- probably also the reason why it takes so long to load a level.
- The storyline is horrendous - Ripto is taking his revenge by capturing all the dragonflies? And how come when he did, he didn't take Sparx too?
- The music is slow and depressing. What happened to the fun, popping music like in the first three Spyros?
- All the levels are too big -- it's really easy to get lost, so you have to jump off the side of the ground and return to a familiar part of the level.
- In the past games, each level had its own story (Spyro 3: Spooky Swamp: Light all 4 tea lamps, Spyro 2: Fracture Hills: Release all 6 dudes with the bag pipes so their music could break the wall blocking a building so you can rescue the girl. None of the levels have a unique story to it!

There's more, but that's all I could think of for now. Honestly, do not buy this game. Rent it if you're bored out of your mind. That's about all it's good for. R.I.P. Spyro.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Universal Vivendi ruined this series for me. This game is better than the one I have for the Wii but not by much. There's only one world to explore and like a previous reviewer said, the level portals aren't named so that is a bit of a pain. Yes you do have to collect something other than gems in this one as in previous Spyro titles but mine froze quite a bit (probably got one of the earlier copies released) and the load time was annoying. I'm used to the PS games taking time to load but this one took forever! I could've gone and made a five course meal in the time it took. Okay so I'm exaggerating but as I recall the first 3 Spyro titles had quicker load times. Either way, even though it's been almost six years since I bought this game, I'm still disappointed with it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect for the kids!
If you're looking for a fun, inoffensive game for your kids, this (and all Spyro games in general) is great. My daughter has the first two Spyro games for our Playstation 2, and we got this one for her for Christmas... I was worried after reading some of the bad reviews, but if you're just a parent looking at this for your kid, there are no problems here. It's all pretty harmless, and everything works just fine. If I had any complaints at all, I'd say that you DO have to wait a little for things to load, but isn't that usually the case with Playstation anyway? Overall, great-- my daughter loves it, so I'm very pleased. Would definately recommend.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - well, it is better than the Legend games..
I really liked the old games, but this one had too many glitches and was too short.. only took me an afternoon to finish it. Only thing I can say good about it is that it's better than the two games they put out after it (a new beginning and eternal night).. I like the old way of wondering around whereever you want and having to figure out lots of little puzzles.. linear playing is just too structured.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SPYRO ENTER THE DRAGONFLY
this is really a fun game, not real hard I'am not that good at harder games so this is just fine
