Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly

Back in the mists of time, Spyro was quite different. After three spectacular games, Spyro took the same leap as then-rival Crash Bandicoot into the generation. And, like the bandicoot, it didn't quite work at first...

Picking up where Year of the Dragon left off with the purple lizard returning home to a hero's welcome. He's just rescued the dragon spawn from being turned into spell ingredients by a necrophobic alligator (well, I think it was an alligator) and everyone's happy. But of course, someone turns up to spoil the fun. It's old Ripto, apparently still alive despite his fiery death at the climax of Gateway to Glimmer. Having staged a survivalist comeback Liquid Snake would struggle with, he comes up with a new scheme. He's nicked the dragonflies which the baby dragons were supposed to receive, and now Spyro has to recover them.

Visually, the game is impressive. Enter the Dragonfly looks a...

THE GOOD:
It's Spyro.

THE BAD:
Glitchy game.
40 secs-1 min more loading time.
No replay value.
Sparx was suposses to be the only dragonfly around.
Stupid collectibles.

SUMMARY:
The Playstation 2 is still a baby. Insomniac gets tired of Spyro (because they already have done the 3 planned games), and sells it. Disaster ensues.

An evil company conquers Spyro, and crushes it.

First of all: This wasn't just as good as the other spyro games, because they always had a new villain and good plot. This one is crap, sincerely. They revive Ripto (HE HAD MELTED IN LAVA IN SPYRO 2! What the heck!?!?), make him steal 100 and something of the billions of dragonflies in the world and makes Spyro go get them for no reason at all. Why would a dragon need stupid dragonflies to beat an arch enemy? For the love of god... If they at least had good collectibles, i'd shut up. Very stupid...

THE GOOD:
Good graphics.
Spyro breathes something other than fire for once.

THE BAD:
The same plot as the other 3 Spyro games. Collect them crystals and then kill the last boss. But this time, you also need to collect these, umm, Dragonflies.
Controls are a little hard to control.

SUMMARY:
Lastability: 6/10.
The gems take a while to find, as well as the Dragonflies. Oh, and the controls take time to get used to as well as finding the places.
Graphics: 4/10.
Meh. Simply meh. I just thought they were okay. Just could've improved.
Sound: 4/10.
Repetitive. Repetitive. I'll say that 100 times. Well, it's okay the first few times you hear them.
Gameplay: 5/10.
Well, first of all, you have to collect the Dragonflies and the gems while needing to kill the last boss. I'm not very sure what the rest were.
Overall: 2.3/5.0
It deserves renting first before buying. That way, you can see what it...

THE GOOD:
nothing

THE BAD:
everything

SUMMARY:
I myself have had some serious problems with this game, from the sheep turning into "GIRAFFES" (Yes that's right GIRAFFES, big long shiny necks, Hang on actually they are decapitated GIRAFFES.) The game keeps freezing and to be completely honest is starting to p*ss me off. The game itself is the same as all the rest of 'em, Collecting gems and dragonflys in this case. So my overall thought on the game is that is the worst I have played for a long time. In this era of our technology we shouldn't be experiencing these type of problems. So it's a big thumbs down for this one. So my advice to anyone out there that is even considering buying this game for yourself or for anyone else is not to bother you'll have more fun and laughs buying a spectrum sinclair zx and playing things like "Chucky egg" etc...........................................

THE GOOD:
None. Its too baaaaad!

THE BAD:
Everything. BOOOO!

SUMMARY:
It's a shame. I am a spyro fan, but the game is tooo slow and short. Plus the loading times are bad. It takes me to go and eat a big cake, come back and still see it loading. Okay, that was too silly and not true, but the game's loading is bad. Also, its too slow, I CHARGE ALL THE TIME! Charging is like the normal speed in Spyro 3, Boo! Vugames are preety dumb. The title is funny but true. BUT, EVERYBODY, THIS IS VUGAMES FIRST PS2 GAME. THEY WERE BAD. This is my worst spyro game ever. And the story - who cares? Spyro has 1 Dragonfly, do he needs more??

Gameplay:0
Graphics:1
Sound:0
Story:0
Overall:0

Rank: Dont buy or even rent this game. Only buy 2-day rents. This game is pantic!


*End of Review*

THE GOOD:
Graphics, Mini-Games.

THE BAD:
Characters, Camera Angles, Controls, Glitches, Voices, it was way to short.

SUMMARY:
The game was awful; the characters sucked, and way to many glitches. The character voices were absolutely horrible; and so was the way they looked. And it was somewhat hard trying to catch the dragonflies with the glitches. I hated everytime Spyro landed on something, he'd end up falling through it. Once again, Ripto was the villan. And this game was way to short, and oh so easy. You could probably beat the whole thing in two days. If you don't get so damn aggravated at the glitches and give up, that is. The controls on this game also sucked badly. Spyro was so hard to control, no matter what I did I...

THE GOOD:
The new breath attacks : Ice Breath, Lightning Breath, Bubble Breath.

The new Wing Shield ability. The cool new Spyro mini-games and the 3D levels of game-play. Also, seeing Spyro riding bi-planes, space saucers and tanks is just grand.

THE BAD:
Just how short the game is. Even the number of glitches from walking underwater to the game freezing no matter what you do.

SUMMARY:
This is a good game. The Dragonfly Dojo and the Luau Island levels rock and are longer than any other level, except the Thieves' Den and Cloud 9. You gain some breath runes as you progress which give you magical powers like breathing ice, bubbles or protecting yourselves from many attacks with your wings. However, Looking at the game so short is bad and the certain number of glitches is a pain in the butt. You only get to battle Ripto in this game. But what happened to Crush & Gulp? Well, the levels are...

THE GOOD:
Its Spyro

THE BAD:
Most of the game!

SUMMARY:
If you like Version 1, 2 and 3 on Playstation 1 DO NOT BUY THIS.
It takes ages to load levels the frame rate changes from smooth to gittery, the whole feel to the game is slow. I hoped it would be better than the other three but to my horror its nothing more than a box that will gather dust on my shelf. Rent it yes, but buy and you will never forgive you self. Sorry spyro fans.
