A little tip to you game maker guys: slapping on a pair of shades and a leather jacket doesn't make a character cool. Trying really hard to pass off this "new Spyro" as a really righteous type of dragon dude is just not kicking it the right way - if you get my meaning. Simply put, it's the nature of Spyro's fantastical world apparently through the eyes of Vivendi. Spyro's tale that has this little dragon trekking across the land to hunt for and smash these dark gems is also very unappealing, given that the characters of the story are so.uninspiring. Some enemies are about as intelligent as a banana resting on a table. Most challenges are fairly easy to surpass. Like their last outing with Spyro, Vivendi's next attempt (this one) is simply simmered down to about as low as the basis of platform elements as you can get these days. Why? Because it's better to do that than it is to even think about Spyro. I was thinking of another great game I played that wasn't Spyro. Right, Spyro: A Hero's Tail is an extremely exhilarating platform game! Filled with fun and adventure, you'll. Once again as Spyro, you'll traverse the lands, crush the gems, and beat the bad guys into submission for the sake of all that's good in Spyro's world.īefore I get into any further details through this latest Spyro game, let me just remind you readers with a disclaimer to wake me up if I ever fall asleep writing about this very, very.very, very, very.very, very, VERY.oh wait, where was I? Uh, I think I was about to say outrageous. For, it is Spyro the Dragon's job to put a stop to cleverly fiendish (or I should say boorish) schemes such as this, is it not? Well yeah, it his Spyro's job, and he's going to do it. Evil red dragon leaves it up to goodie-goodie Spyro to walk up to these gems and smash each and every one of them. Evil red dragon plants dark gems with drainage power into the planet's crust. Not very much at all.Įvil red dragon appears.
Here we are again a couple years afterward, and apparently handing the reins of power over to a new developer hasn't changed that format much. Spyro in particular, when in the year 2002 developer Check Six Games made one of the most annoying, cutesy, and simple-minded platform titles in the Spyro name. When Vivendi swept up Crash Bandicoot and Spyro in the move from the PlayStation over to the PlayStation 2, both these series went to shambles. But no longer a Sony-owned franchise, Spyro is in the hands of Vivendi Universal and its second developer choice for its second next-generation spin of the series, Eurocom. I guess you could call it "good." Spyro was getting rave reviews at one point when developer Insomniac Games was behind the wheel. Welcome class to Spyro 101: Or, how to ruin a perfectly good platform franchise.
