That's exactly how I feel about it. And for me at least, the rest of the game did nothing to make up for the repetitious gameplay.

I just don't like the game being
*BASH*BASH*BASH*BASH*cutscene*BASH*break*BASH*BASH...*end.

Sounds like you want a film not a game.

I guess I just liked the gameplay better, and it was also more story based.
It also kinda depends on what I'm feeling. Spyro the Dragon is good if you want easier, more relaxed gameplay. Dawn of the Dragon is more button mashy and stuff.
I would of ranked The Eternal Night before A New Beginning if not for several things I hated about Eternal Night, first the bosses ticked me off, except for the Assassin and Skurvywing, second I hate the Elemental Trials, so tedious and boring, third the Death Hounds, don't get me started on those things, and finally I hated the totems that the commanders throw in the Pirate and Well of Souls levels, such a frustrating item to destroy while enemies are gang banging you.
Yeah, TEN was pretty frustrating at times haha

Honestly I don't like how the Chronicler had Spyro doing the pointless task of going to the Grove to find some stupid tree only for the tree to attack him, and then he gets captured by Pirates who of course took Cynder, then he sends Spyro on a wild goose chase through the Trials only for Spyro to learn "Oh don't go save Cynder or the others, stay here with me and be a wimp". Plus why show Spyro the visions if it's just gonna end badly?

Also TEN made me hate the Chronicler, he is my least favorite character in the Legend Series next to Gaul.

Spyro year of the dragon - despite some of the later sections feeling a tad rushed, perfection imo
Spyro 2: gateway to glimmer- Amazing, best villain in the series, awesome boss fights
Spyro the dragon- Nostalgic and very good soundtrack and atmosphere
Spyro Adventure- My favourite for gba, loved the feel and levels
Spyro season of flame- improved over ice in many ways
Spyro a heroes Tail- pretty good but not on par with the originals
Spyro Fusion- Fun to play with my best friend who had crash fusion :3
Spyro Season of Ice- quite annoying at times but nice original feel
LOS new beginning- Very short but it was decent at the time
Spyro Enter the Dragonfly- liked it as a kid, I now see it flaws
Spyro shadow legacy- remember it being frustrating, gimmicky and annoying
I kinda lost interest in the new rebooted games when i was 12 so i never played the newest releases

1) Year of the Dragon. Fabulous game: light-hearted, great idea, funny, brilliant levels, not to mention AWESOME music.
Now it gets a bit fuzzy. I've not played Gateway to Glimmer for years, but I do remember it as a brilliant game. Spyro the Dragon is also good, though YOTD and GTG are both far better and developed in my opinion. The less said about Enter the Dragonfly the better.
I also think that A Hero's Tail was actually really good, though it got quite a bit of stick. I thought it did an excellent job of maintaining the don't-take-it-too-seriously attitude of the originals whilst not trying to completely copy it like ETD did.
Then comes the Legend of Spyro trilogy. Out of those three, I think The Eternal Night is the best, just because it has a very dark and interesting plot, not to mention being satisfyingly difficult. A New Beginning was also a very good game though, and a good way of remaking it from a serious angle (have to mention that Sparx was hilarious in both of them). Dawn of the Dragon, however, was an almighty let down. The characterisation just flew out of the window. Both ANB and TEN managed to be reasonably realistic, with fairly good personalities to the characters, but DOTD just screwed it all up, absolutely driving Spyro and Cynder's relationship into the ground. I never liked Cynder much, apart from when she was evil, but DOTD really made a pig's ear of her personality indefinitely, not building up the bond between Spyro and Cynder at all. It didn't exactly help that Cynder's voice actress was so dreadful, either. Anyway, the end of that game nearly made me vomit; the writing was nowhere near as good as it was in the others. Not to mention the fact that they absolutely crucified Sparx.

Well, that's my opinion, anyway.
