Well, I'm not from the UK so I wouldn't know how much it would cost there. And I rechecked the pricing for aht almost 90 dollars! 90! All that for a PS2 game. I think its a little overkill on the price. And if I got one of the first 3 Spyro games I'd be able to play them on my PS2. I still have some PS1 games that work perfect on it, and I still have the memory card as well

Wow, thats a heck of a lot cheaper. I don't get why Amazon is selling new ones for $90? I mean a regular PS2 game costs $30, not $90. And I was thinking about getting anb and ten off of Amazon as well. They're was cheaper than aht combined!

You definitely need Gateway to Glimmer (or probably Ripto's Rage where you live...) and Year of the Dragon. Those two are the absolute best. Spyro the Dragon (1) is...OK. A Hero's Tail isn't that bad, either. Enter the Dragonfly probably isn't worth it. Heck, I get dizzy just looking at that game, the framerate is so bad...

wow I can not believe this new generation of spyro fans who never even played the originals are voting yes. In my opinion, no game in history can beat spyro 1. nothing will ever bring that back, the new series is the future even though it sucks

Everybody has their own opinions, but I still think TLoS is just a cliche with Spyro slapped on it to get attention. The only way I can comfort myself is by thinking that original Spyro died 'an honourable death' instead of being dragged along, bleeding, like Sonic is, and that TLoS is an entirely different series altogether, it just happened to bear similarities to old Spyro when it came to characters.

It's a shame that no characters are ever given a really good swan song. I've heard Snake got a good one in MGS4, but I've also heard there's a debate whether it really did him justice.

Think of Rayman, whose charming first three games where positively endearing (even the first one was great, even if it was completely 2d). Then came the rabbids, who made us laugh, and then preceeded to leech popularity from Rayman.

Think of Jak and Daxter, whose first two games were satisfyingly large, with dozens of odds and ends to collect by the end, all to open a mysterious door. Their last game was a racer, and was completely ignored by the masses.

Think of Cloud, whose lost all of his mystique because of heavy and constant examination. He's still pretty cool, but all the characters in FF7 have been wrung out for every last drop of storyline. Except Cait Sith. Nobody ever remembers Cait Sith.

Spyro is simply walking a well-worn path of constant repetition, as over-ambitious people squeeze them till they're merely old husks of their original selves.

Also, suprisingly, I agree with Handy over there. I refuse to consider anyone eligible to make comments on Spyro, like "DOTD was the best game ever" or "Cynder makes the Spyro games good", or even "Sparx has character depth", unless they have played at least one TLOS game, and at least one of the original trilogy.

I have DOTD on the DS, it isn't bad, but my God it is SOOO frustrating! Those controls are so bloody stiff!!!

I have one question are cynder and spyro dead or no? honestly i dont know and am to tired to look it up

spyroandcynder4ever · Dec 28, 2009 1:19 PM

From what most people say no they are not dead.

spyro567 · Dec 28, 2009 1:29 PM

i say yes its a good game

Aceedwin · Dec 28, 2009 3:27 PM

And have you played the old game? Spyro 3?

Apoc · Dec 28, 2009 6:18 PM

I've got the first Spyro and it's awesome, except for that bloody camera. Every 5 minutes I'm cursing at the dreadful camera, on the plus side I have Spyro the Dragon and I made it look good(emulators are your friend). See I read that people have problems with TLOS, and the answer is simple, it's on a console. People say that PS3 games have problems, but there's ALWAYS a problem with the PlayStation. Look at Dragon Age, the PS3 version had glitches, lag and bad loading times. My argument is why design a video game console for "Next Gen" graphics but cannot handle it in the end? Also 360GB HDD? At the rate I go that's about 2 weeks.

I have the very first Spyro, and the camera irritates me

Namba · Dec 28, 2009 8:49 PM

It was made in 1998. It was the best they could do, I'm sure... but yeah, it gives me a headache sometimes. I have to manually control it.

Apoc · Dec 28, 2009 9:43 PM

With the L2 and R2 buttons, I hate that. Why do consoles always ruin my gaming experience? Barring the Wii, the Wii is awesome

Scarlett-Fear-Dragon · Dec 28, 2009 10:04 PM

I was playing that today, funnily enough. The camera did annoy me.

~cornys~ · Dec 29, 2009 2:10 AM

I said yes, but it is a very meager one... I did it simply upon the fact that it is the most memorable... tYOtD would have to be second followed by StD and then tEN simply for the memorability of it's ending too... Bad games with a good story.. that's how I put tLoS... I'd like the story of the new with the game play of the old... that would be amazing.

Scarlett-Fear-Dragon · Dec 29, 2009 9:09 AM

The TLoS story is bad. Cliche, cliche, cliche. Frodo = Spyro. Bloody hell, they even have the same actor!

Apoc · Dec 29, 2009 1:14 PM

I got excited when I saw TLOS, then, disappointment. Dammit. Oh well play it anyway, it's always good to have a "play a crappy video game night". But that awful camera makes my eyes hurt, everytime I play I always shout "dammit!" cuz the camera is being retarded
