I'm quite fond of the the first two, the second one in particular. Unfortunately I've heard bad things about the 3rd and have such shied away from it. One thing that made me kind of sad was that I never got to play as Spyro when he was an adult.

Nostalgia hit me when I read the name. I loved the games but when they made the newest one it was terrible and heartbreaking. Like they made the first second and third star wars again(and I don't mean the original trilogy).
i LOVE the first three spyro games, the fifth was quite good and the rest were all crap but I loved the first three as a child and I still love them now, they were the first proper 3D games I played
This is truth. I love the first (sorry, only) 3. I remember I completed the second and third with 100% I only missed a few gems in the first one.dancinginfernal said:
I wish I wouldn't have been so stupid when I was a child and that I would have kept all my games rather than selling them to Gamestop for next to nothing. I won't make that same mistake with my Wii and Xbox 360. I loved Spyro and all it's glorious sequels. I feel nostalgia coming on! Where are my Zelda games? They won't help, but they'll have to do for now!
Spyro was one of my 1st games. It has a high nostalgia factor. Honestly... I only really liked the original 3 :/. My favorite is probably the 3rd one. Spyro Year of the Dragon.
I loved Spyro as a child, but I got stuck and gave up.
Which was weird, as I also played Quake III as a child. I would play Spyro again, but I had it on my PSX. Quake Live is kinda filling in the nostalgia thing right now.

It is certainly an under-rated gem. Was damn fun and I loved the few flying levels. So... very... fun...
The original three are the best spyro games hands down, the new ones don't even hold a candle to them.
They kick ass. Other than one problem... THE FUCKING DIALOGUE. OH MY FUCKING GOD, THE DIALOGUE IS HORRIBLE.
I loved the original three and still play them from time to time. I got excited when the fourth one appeared but when I played it I just couldn't get into it as much as the others. And I just refuse to play any of the new ones.
Of the three, yes, Dawn of the Dragon is the best. Scenery porn to the max, wonderful music, AND UNLIMITED FLIGHT.kyosai7 said:
Seriously, there is nothing more relaxing than just flying over Avalar with that soundtrack going... it's awesome.
Eternal Night was good too, but I'll freely admit I only kept playing for the sheer surreality of the Chronicler's levels.
I tried the first game in the new series ("Legend of Spyro: A new beginning"), and while it IS a signifigant improvement over Universal's previous efforts, I still say it falls through.kyosai7 said:
The graphics are impressive, the controls are tight and the dialogue is great - but the gameplay itself is as repetitive as it gets. ALL you do is fight off endless waves of enemies, proceed to the next area, and fight off more enemies. After a few levels, the sheer boredom hit me like a jackhammer. Much as I wanted to see the next cutscene, I quite simply COULDN'T keep playing the damned thing.
Your taste in games is likely to be at least SOMEWHAT different from mine, so if you figure you can live with a product of the "Pretty world, cookie-cutter gameplay" - school of game development, you should certainly give the "Legend"-series a try.
However, I think you will find that the only way to truly bring back those fond memories of Spyro the Dragon, is to play through the original PS1 trilogy one more time. Always works for me.
