Am i really the only one here who actually hated the game?

I think Yearofthe hates it, too.  You guys are weird.

I still haven't finished AHT. I don't get why. I am sure I'd be playing it if I was
able to stay connected to Xbox LIVE to talk to my friends. I guess I don't play
it as much because it is an Xbox Original game and not a 360 game.

But now that you guys reminded me of AHT and are talking about it, I have an
urge to go play it ... which is not a bad thing at all.

It is childish at times like people say, but I'm not so sure what's wrong with that.  AHT could be considered childish, but it's not a preschool head start program.  Its a full adventure with colorful characters and fantastically drawn worlds.

Sounds familiar...

Well I've been a Spyro fan since I was a 6 year old girl. Starting off with Enter the Dragonfly (which I know was heavily panned but I still love it) and I recently started playing the 3 originals. But one game that always has never seemed appealing to me, was A Hero's Tail.

When I saw it at age 8 I said to my dad "what... That's not Spyro..."

I'm a fan. I'll play almost anything except that Skylanders rubbish. But I just really think that A Hero's Tail looks horribly childish.

So what would you say about it? Do you think it's worth playing? Should I look past the childish exterior?

Absolutely, its worth it.  I had this same thought process.  AHT was the first game I decided not to buy right off the shelf because ETD was so poorly made.  But after, my Spyro fandom hiatus, I revisited during the LOS 'scandal' and put it upon myself to play through the 13 games again (some for the first time) to give my honest personal opinion about all of them.

AHT is actually one of the best games IMO, especially for those who strongly disliked the LoS movement.  It is childish at times like people say, but I'm not so sure what's wrong with that.  AHT could be considered childish, but it's not a preschool head start program.  Its a full adventure with colorful characters and fantastically drawn worlds.  It also has a good soundtracl, despite the contrast with Stewart Copeland's definition of Spyro music.

You just have to play it with an open mind, and enjoy it that way.  It's definately worth a play.

Not true.  Amazon has all versions of it used for under $6.  And it's only a little more if you want to buy it new.  I bought mine used for ps2 and never had a problem with it.

I really liked it. It's not as good as the originals and the humor is a little off, but they had the right idea of what Spyro should be when making this game. Good gameplay, challenging puzzles and minigames that aren't too frustrating, and really pretty worlds.

this basically.

the graphics were actually kind of like Skylanders in that they were good, colorful, just not really overly "realistic-looking", and yeah, like you (the OP ) said, childish. (i stand by my shameless fanboy status for LOS's graphics.) but yes you should look past that and get this, it's good.

... the nostalgia of the ...

New word for you, eh? I've been seeing that world a lot within the past two
weeks on this website. Every time I read or hear that word, I think of one of
my favorite bands, Nyctalgia.

Anyway, I think the game is very fun, regardless of its "desired age group."
Unfortunately, I'm caught up in playing Homefront at the moment. I needed
a gun game to play other than Battlefield [since I have over 710 hours on it].

A Hero's Tail ... I could never get over the fact that Spyro's butt bops up and
down as he "trots" along the ground. It looks pretty funny.

I got mine new for $10.  It was a steal.
