The Year of the Dragon | 3.6 0 comments |

THE GOOD: Exicting and a nice plot Characters The dragon eggsTHE BAD:
Bad camera angle MoneybagsSUMMARY: Spyro 3 - Year of the Dragon was a game in 2000 that I got. I was 12 when I got the game in 2000 so it's old. This is my first review for a game that I loved. I thought it was fun; you could play as 7 characters with different actions. A kangaroo, a penguin, a monkey with a laser gun, a yeti, 'Hunter', Sparx the dragon fly and Spyro! Sgt. Byrd (the penguin) is very fun & hard to use. He flies and can drop bombs on his enemies. The story is about this evil sorceress, Bianca & their hench men stealing all the dragon eggs. Here's my review for this awesome game.
Story - 8 / 10 The story was kind of weak but I loved it. This evil cat lady Bianca works for the evil sorceress and steals all the dragon eggs when the dragons are sleeping. Damn party crasher. When the dragons wake up, Spyro is appointed with Sparx the dragon fly (what dragon doesn't have a dragon fly?) to find the eggs and save the dragons from extinction. It's a nice story; you can travel to different worlds finding eggs that hatch when you find them & they're transported to the dragon land. Spyro will meet a lot of new friends.
Graphics - 9 / 10I'm not a graphic junky but I still loved graphics. These graphics look awesome for a Playstation game in 2000. These graphics match Super Mario 64 DS's IMO. The graphics are not bad but they could have been better.
Controls - 6 / 10The controls are really weak for this game but they're easy to get used to. You could be running but you'll hit something with your horns because the controls won't react to the quick button mash.
Game play - 9 / 10The game play was really good. You could play with different characters and get used to their actions. The monkey could shoot lasers, the kangaroo could do a hop kick and the yeti could smash stuff. The 150 eggs are a bugger to catch.
Replay - 4 / 10The game has no replay value but you could play it to skateboard with Spyro. I never replayed this game because of Moneybags. =P
8 + 9 + 6 + 9 + 4 = 36 divided by 5 = 7.2 divided by 2 = 3.6
I really loved this game. The graphics and the characters are so good. I recommend this game for any Spyro fan. |

Spyro: Year Of The Dragon | 4.8 0 comments |
by shinyhead from Midlands, , | Mar 4, 2006 |
THE GOOD: Where to start? Spyro kicks back from his 2 earlier adventues, and finds himself up against a new enemy the Sorceress. To me, Spyro 3 definately has a better plot and storyline to keep you interested, and there are plenty of things to accomplish in the game to find the baby dragon eggs. For the first time ever you can play as more than just Spyro, ranging from a kangeroo to even Sparx the dragonfly himself. The graphics are beautiful, the levels are magical and keep you interested, definately a game to get hooked on all day. The crazy tasks to complete, the range of characters you meet and the enemys you face are interesting. THE BAD: Some may say that some of the mini games are too easy from the last 2 games, but they do range dramatically in difficulty. I started playing Spyro 3 first, and I enjoyed the game so much I obtained Spyro 2, which I felt would be far too complicated to complete so easily if I had started with no experience. Spyro 3 just has it all. A personal downfall of Spyro 3 for me is introducing back the speedways, but least you get an egg for completing the challenges. Theres also a dreaded glitch on these speedway levels, but on the newer copies of Spyro it has been fixed. SUMMARY: For once, Spyro has a foe to be reckoned with. Sure, Ripto and Gnasty Gnorc were evil, but the Sorceress is more cunning, and not so stupid. In the final levels shes more challenging to defeat, but what some dont know is that you'll face her again.. Collecting the baby dragons were fun to do as they were all induvidual and they hatched with different actions. Something worthwhile to collect and complete all the levels for, rather than a few shiny orbs. I enjoyed the variety of tasks that Spyro was challenged with, such as controlling submarines, powerboat and even a manta ray. Spyros allies in the Forgotten Worlds are also worthwhile to release as they have amusing lines to say and its fun controlling them (its also worth watching them take their revenge on Moneybags, something all Spyro fans would LOVE to have seen). I have plenty more to say, but lets just come to conclusion that Spyro 3, is the most sucessful Spyro release to date. |

DA BOMB! | 5.0 0 comments |
by Spyro_rocks from Earth, , Universe | Apr 30, 2005 |
THE GOOD: Everything.THE BAD: Nothing. SUMMARY: Spyro: Year of the Dragon is the best Spyro game yet. Every 12 years, the Dragon Kingdom makes a bunch of dragon eggs. When the dragons were sleeping, an evil Sorceress tells her servant, Bianca to snatch the eggs. Now, it is up to Spyro and his buddies to retrive the dragon eggs and kill the Sorceress once and for all! Anyway, this game is also the most challenging so far. Also, Skill Points return. This time, instead of just a sound, a confirmation on screen tells you that you got one. You will also get to play as Shelia the Kangaroo, Sgt. Byrd the penguin, Bentley the yeti, and even Agent 9 the monkey. Explore over 30 places to find the eggs. I just think this game is GREAT. Don't rent it, buy it! Signed, Spyro_rocks. |

by raymanmaster from london, , | Jan 9, 2005 |
THE GOOD: The graphics,The game play,the back grounds,the cut scenes and of corse the boss levels and that it is almost glich free an last but not lest that hinnin part in dino mines.THE BAD: The difficulity and the music plus that speedway glich and those bosses. SUMMARY: Spyro 3 year of the dragon rocked man the grapics were top noch and those back grounds that spyro games have were da bomb with new ones and some of the first ever backgrounds used.Unfortuneatly the music was not so da bomb.The game is glich free [almost].
The levels are great with first time task portals so eggs can be gained.The bosses were fun and you can play as 7 characters.thay are spyro,sparx,hunter,sheila,sgt.byrd,bently and agent 9.
so I give spyro 3 the year of the dragon 5.0/5.0 so its da bomb. |

THE GOOD: Great graphics, more abilities, including ice, more playable characters, all eggs have somebody different inside, doing something different. Music in every level so it doesn't get boring.Also there is short movies to show you how you're doing!THE BAD: Not a single part of this game is bad. Except of course if you count the guys that are supposed to be bad AKA "The bad guys." SUMMARY: Graphics great, lots of adventure, very addictive, I couldn't put the controller down. If you haven't tried it you should! I don't care what anyone says about this game, unless... of... course... they say it rocks! This game isn't very easy, like a lot of people think, so all of you people that think this game isn't for them give it a try then see how you like it! |

three's got company | 4.9 0 comments |
by Death talon from acton, MA, the US | May 30, 2004 |
THE GOOD: like the last two games, it had great sound effects, graphics, and gameply. a lot of the same ideas were used in this game in the last games also.THE BAD: i don't know SUMMARY: well, at last we come to the 3rd installment to the spyro games. this game is a lot like the last two gaems, but feature all these new charactors that were never seen before. like sergeant byrd, who's a penguin who can shoot rockets from guns on his shoulders, and sheila the kangaroo who can jump really high up and can kick-box. aslo, you can play as sparx in this game, which is really cool in my opinion. all these new charactors are why i named this review "three's got company". see, i don't just randomly name my reviews. and a don't like that show very much.
at the beginning of this game, spyro is relaxing in the dragon realm, right after the big festival of the year of the dragon was over, and all these dragon eggs are lying around. then, a cloaked figure steals them. so spyro must track dowm who it was.
anyways, this is a great game, but i only recommend it for spyro fans such as myself, as there are inside jokes in it that some players just may not get. and yes, i know that was a line from a previous review. my reviews are all pretty similar, get used to it. i rated this game 4.9 out of 5 for being cool. why did i take off a point? honestly, because i have too may reviews that are perfect tens. so for all you spyro fanantics like myself: play this game, you wont regret it. peace out.

This Spyro game is HOT!  | 5.0 0 comments |
by MegaDemon from , Essex, | Jul 27, 2003 |
THE GOOD: Great cartoony graphics, excellent side-quests, puzzles and many things to collect till you complete the game! Great bosses too, and superb landscapes full of adventure!!  THE BAD: Nothing I can fault it on! SUMMARY: Spyro year of the dragon is the best Spyro I have ever played! (I have all 3 for the ps1) Our little cuddly hero is back, and this time he's brought some friends to help, a high-jumping Kangaroo, a flying penguin, a well-mannered Yeti, a crazy lab monkey armed with a laser and now you can even play as Spyro's best buddy, Sparx! An evil soceress has captured the dragon eggs in order to restore magic in the world, so that she can have more power and reign the planet! Is Spyro going to let her? NO! Guide Spyro and his friends through huge colourful worlds to kick Rhynoc BUTT! The bosses are great, not too wussy that only take 3 hits, and not too frustrating that takes ages to beat! Its an excellent game, one of my favourites for the playstation. Dragons rule, and you know it!! Try this game out! |

Good Adventure Game | 3.9 0 comments |
by DW King from , , United States | Mar 29, 2003 |
THE GOOD: You can play as more then one character and they all have their own moves. The graphics are very good for a playstation game. There is special little levels which you do to get more gems and to find eggs and they are very very fun. There is little games that you get to play which make the levels longer.THE BAD: The camera is bad at times when you go around a corner the camera stays on the other side of the wall and you can't see yourself and it will hurt you if there is an enemy on the other side of it. You don't get any special ability like super fireballs like you did on Spyro 2. SUMMARY: This game is worth getting with plenty of things to do. This game will keep you playing for months trying to finish it. This time around you can control Hunter on some of the special levels were you get to blow up UFO's that have cows in them very weird. But overall i think this game is worth getting. |
