I liked it a lot, but it disappointed me in some ways -one way is that you had to fight the same boss twice-Red. Another way is that there are lots of glitches, and your game can easily be corrupted if you are not careful.
Yet Another way is that Spyro loses a life from everything-even a kick from a Gnorc. If I was him it wouldn't have hurt me..

Probably the thing which makes people like AHT is particuarly the breaths, some really like how to breaths are more useful than ETD, how some enemies can be defeated by different breaths and enemies take later to defeat.
This just annoyed me more than anything, maybe the Originals are just too easy for my own gooD!

"I disliked the fact that they downgraded such a perplex and advanced individual such as Bently into a lesser-minded and minor-charactered unintellectual."
Really proves that Eurocom didn't reasearch very much, they probably just saw one picture of him and thought "Hes one of those stereotypical big stong dumb guys". They didn't know that betley was all big, strong and bright.

Yeah thats what happened with me. It became boring to have to walk everywere and just drift around the place. I much prefer portals.

eh, AHT is just like A change to the Originals in all the wrong places. I Found it sad that ETD and AHT were original Spyro's Only chances on 6th gen home consoles.

I think the reason why people liked the portals is that their is a sense of compartmentalization. For instance, if I were to play a level in Spyro 2, I could go in, finish the level in 15-30 minutes, and there's this well defined beginning and end. All the levels are different, and the variety in both sound, sight, and gameplay make it easy. Combine this variety with the structure of the game and it makes it really easy to pick up and play. And its fun.

I would like this game a lot if they'd been a little more creative designing the levels. Really, I can understand wanting the stereotypical snow/fire/water/happy-green-grassland areas, but throughout the entire game I felt like I'd been there before, or I'd tromped through that pile of snow a year ago, or I'd looked at those pink flowers already... and the swamp level. Just, ew. That was my least favorite place hands-down, between the music and the graphics and the 'ideas', it was so typical.

Maybe I'm just too picky, but I prefer people using their imaginations. =/
And double-jumping as a dragon is freakin' STUPID. Seriously, my question is - if he can flap those wings enough to get extra lift in a jump, why can't he just KEEP FLAPPING THEM to actually fly whenever he wants? It was so depressing.
But I prefer his appearance in AHT to TLOS. His skull is so darn big in TLOS. Looks like he's got some sort of disease.

THe Homeworlds were too big, homeworlds are just supposed to be a ffun way of using a map system or a hub, but AHT made the homeworlds annoying. Yeah, the level design was pretty good, i wasn't a big fan of the music but it wasn't bad.

Oh, cross that first part out then.

Anyways, I found myself exploring a lot more in this game probably because of it's enormity (and the fact that all levels are connected). Some levels are pretty well done like Dragonfly Falls (great scenery, graphics, calm music), some puzzled me a bit like Sunken Ruins, and others seem plain tedious or long such as those snow/ice levels. I think part of the reason some people might not like the AHT is how the game was structured. I was more used to smaller levels which you enter via portals, whereas in this game, there's a gradual transition from one level to another - gives the feeling of exploration on a larger scale. It might've bothered some people.
