The end to the original series of a timeless classic that I will never forget, and never stop playing. Spyro holds a very special place in the video game world for me and many others of my generation, as it was the epitome of what an adventuring, fantastical platformer on the PlayStation One should be. Many classify it as a childrens game, but it really is a game for all ages, and is still fun, even many years after it's original release. I am proud to say that this game has aged, and has aged well. This game though, unfortunately, was the end of the original series, and gave way to the obvious attempts at a AAA market with the series that resulted in many a failed game afterward and eventually spiraled out of control and then ceased to exist, until they started the new Skylanders toys based off the Spyro world. This game is an amazing reminder of what once was and will allow you to relive those moments you wish never disappeared. I love this game by playing it I love collecting dragon eggs and gems I skip moneybags a lot I pay for Sheila, Sgt Byrd, Bentley and Agent 9.

Find best value and selection for your Spyro the Dragon Greatest Hits Playstation PS1 1 PSONE Game Complete search on eBay. World's leading marketplace. A description of tropes appearing in Spyro: Year of the Dragon. The third Spyro the Dragon game. This was fixed in the Greatest Hits version of the game.

I beat this game before Hunter was fun the only things I did not like about this game are playing as other characters like Sheila wasn't great Sgt Byrd was a penguin that shoots and flies Bentley was the worst he was slow and big Agent 9 was hard to control and Sparx was not fun at all. I liked the Sorceress boss fight though I loved pounding moneybags. I give this an average of 5 stars out of 5. One of my favorite games of the PS1 era.

A little bit wackier & stranger than previous installments (kind of a staple of 90s Sony games, going off of the Spyro, Crash Bandicoot & MediEvil franchises) but still just as good. But, I have to admit, it is the easiest in the original Trilogy.

If you have trouble with the Speedway/ Flight levels in the previous games, I suggest starting with the ones in this game & working backwards. The Flight levels in the original are the hardest. Also has largely abandoned the idea of secret areas by loudly broadcasting their presence with side portals. Also the only one of the original games that have different playable characters. There are whole levels dedicated to Shiela the Kangaroo, St. Download Bios Toshiba Satellite L640 Driver more. Byrd (a flying, missile launching penguin), Bentley the Yeti, Agent 9 (a crazed monkey with a laser gun) & Sparx the dragonfly (complete his levels & gain a slew of brand new abilities) Also a whole slew of side missions that are playable by the former four characters, as well as Hunter the Cheetah.

Also, the only game in the original trilogy that has a legitimately fulfilling bonus world full of challenging side games- a reward for completing the main game 100%. Levels are complex and fun. The themes are entertaining and imaginative, gems are aplenty, however enemies are not. There are gems and treasures to find everywhere, which means a lot of searching and looking for hidden nooks, which can be very time consuming and can get a bit tedious once all the enemies have been defeated. Essentially at the end of each level Spyro is running around an empty land looking for hidden places, this can be a bit slow for people, luckily the creative themes do provide some interest while searching, and eventually is just becomes fun exploring the land and finding all the hidden corners in the game. There are many memorable levels that really make this game.

Eventually Spyro leaves the first world and moves on to others. At first they are really fun to explore and can be really amazing design-wise. (One level is occupied almost entirely be water, and even has a whale that will swallow Spyro less he get too near). However they can get very lonely and quiet once all the gems have been collected, and the area explored. My suggestion is to complete the levels as quickly as possible and leave the world before it gets too boring, and depressing. Starting out, the game is a lot of fun, however as the game goes on, a running problem seems to be the amount of quiet in each world. Once enemies have been defeated, and all eggs, and gems have been collected worlds lose their interest and become essentially an empty field for Spyro to run in.

Try to collect all the eggs and gems at one time, I do not suggest just getting what you need, then going back. Levels can be empty, boring, and a little bit depressing once completed. There are many exciting levels that are both challenging and interesting. As well as new characters to play as. The characters are fun to master and introduce a nice variation of gameplay, and characters. Side missions are amazing, and vary. There are races that are challenging and really fun to play, some might take more than a few tries to win.

Some missions are silly, but all are FUN. Levels are varied in theme, from Egyptian Palace, to a Ninja Castle, to a Dinosaur Western.

Great re-playability if you don't mind the empty worlds, the Sparx missions are challenging but fun. They are tricky and a cool reference to older models of games. Some people are unhappy with the graphics but I enjoyed them, they are no where near the quality of today, but I think it has a nice authentic feel and makes the atmosphere of the game more classic and fun. All in all, it is a great game, perhaps a little tedious once the enemies are beat, but there is always something interesting around the corner, or hidden, waiting to be discovered. Positive: + gameplay is still solid + controls are still excellent + tons of eggs to collect + speedway levels are great fun + extra characters are a smart addition Negative: - wait. Haven't I seen some of those positives before?

- some graphical issues are less forgivable the second time around - the levels get a little boring after the first area Spyro the Dragon was one of the defining characters of his genre back in the day. He had three great games: a great start, an even stronger sequel, and now the third one: Year of the Dragon. Does it live up to the expectations generated by its predecessors or does it fail to live up to the other two? When an evil Sorceress from another world sends in a bunch of goons to kidnap the eggs in the world of the dragons, you know who to send back to retrieve them. Hunter the cheetah!Oh, and Spyro of course! Basically you go on a journey to get back the eggs through four big worlds each with a lot of levels, and each of which has a lot of stuff to do for completionists.

The core gameplay of YOTD is pretty much exactly the same as it was back in Ripto's Rage: you charge, you glide, you breath fire, and you get power ups through gates every once in a while. Thankfully all the abilities you learned in the previous game are available to you right off the bat. The downside to this is that you don't learn any new abilities as the game goes on, which makes the Spyro gameplay hardly vary at all.

Fortunately, there are four other characters that come into play every once in a while to change things up a bit. Sheila the Kangaroo can jump really high and kick enemies to kingdom come, Sgt.

Byrd can fly and shoot the crud out of baddies with his shoulder cannons, Bentley the Yeti can smash guys with his giant club (my personal favorite), and Agent 9's levels are kind of like third-person shooters. These guys each have their own level and also have a few areas throughout the game within other levels in which you can get eggs. All the characters are really fun to play as and offer some great diversity. The game has four huge home worlds, each of which has many levels. The first world is home to a handful of great, fun levels, and then you go to the second world and find that you're suddenly not having as much fun.

Could it be that the levels are just. Not so great? I can't put my finger on it, but there's something about the later levels that I just don't like. Yaad Aa Raha Hai Remix Mp3 Free Download. Maybe it's the slight lack of creativity, I don't know.

Although many of the regular levels aren't much fun, there are four speedway levels in the game as well, and these are surprisingly entertaining. They each have a time attack mode where you have to fly through rings, torch cows, and the like within a time limit, but there is also a race on each of these levels as well as a Hunter challenge, usually involving you playing as the cheetah flying around in a plane shooting down sheep in flying saucers.

Collecting eggs is the main goal of the game, but there are many ways that you get them. Of course there are some lying around on the ground every once in a while but there are also times when you have to do certain tasks to get them or play a minigame kind of thing. There are also a ton of gems, but these are more annoying to collect as they are all over the place and if you want them all you'll have to do a lot of backtracking. Still, the combination of eggs and gems makes for a great game to try to complete. The visuals of YOTD are exactly the same as they were in Ripto's Rage. Nothing has changed.

Yes, Spyro's eyebrows still detach from his head every once in a while. Yes, everything still looks a little polygonal. They weren't so bad the first time, but when there is zero improvement in a game that came out a year later, polygonal and occasionally glitched graphics are a bit less forgivable. Not to say they look horrible for the time, but I definitely would have liked to see some kind of improvement in this area.

The sound effects are no different than they were back in Ripto's Rage, but there wasn't really anything that needed changing. There are still nice, sometimes silly effects that fit well with the game. The music is great as usual and is, like the sound effects, fitting to the environments. Some of the tracks are reused a few times but it's really not a big deal. Overall, Spyro: Year of the Dragon is still a great game. It may be exactly the same as its predecessor except for a few fun variations in the gameplay, but that's not to say it's a bad game by any means.

The Spyro formula had already proven itself twice, so why change it for the last game of the generation? Still, a few new abilities and graphical improvements would have been welcome and the levels could have been much more enjoyable.

Despite these few flaws, though, YOTD is great for anyone who liked the other two games or someone looking for a game simply made to be completed, and I would also recommend it to just about anyone who likes 3-D platformers. Gameplay: 9 Grahpics: 7 Sound: 8 Value: 9 FINAL SCORE: 8.4/10.

I ordered a PS2 game called Spyro: Year of the Dragon Sold by Cheap-n-Easy Buy in what Ithey advertised was in new condition and paid an exorbitant price for it because it was never used. I received the item still seeming to be packaged with the clear cellophane. When I opened it, the case looked original but when I wentto get the disc out,it was for a game called Spyro-Ripto's Rage and it is extremely used with all save entries maxed out. My son said that this is a scam called 'trolling'.; I immediately contacted Amazon and spoke to Krista about this vendor. This was NOT an error., It was explicitly repackaged in a bait and switch scheme to fraudulently 'steal' from the customer. I can understand an error but this was not a mistake, it was blatant.fraud. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER, Cheap-n-Easy Buy!!!!!!!!!

If you like games like crash, you'll really like this one.
