    Judging by the screenshots, I was totally expecting it to be just another Season of Flame, but it's got a TON of improvements and added features. I LOVE the RPG-like gameplay. Gaining abilities permanently is great. Loved it. Loved it.

    I don't know, coming from someone whos neevr played a Spyro game before i didn't really know what to expect. The story was easy to follow and the graphics were good for a GBA game. The only thing, i get stuck on where to go next and some levels are hiding on you, i also find that some tasks are repetitive and somewhat boring, and not knowing where to go next is a pain in the I don't know, coming from someone whos neevr played a Spyro game before i didn't really know what to expect.

Overall it wasnt that bad. If you're into RPG its not as great as i thought, but if you like Spyro, go ahead. … Expand

    I've always considered the Gameboy Advance Spyro games a real treat. I could really get into these games on the handheld but not quite as much on the consoles. This game is no exception. It's a delight to play. One I highly recommend to all fans of gaming on the go. There's alot of playtime here.

    El tercer y último juego de Spyro para GBA, por desgracia (para algunos como yo) los desarrolladores optaron por cambiar el diseño del juego y crear una especie de mundo abierto en lugar de usar mundos con niveles como en los dos anteriores.

Se hace bastante llevadero pero si quieres completarlo al 100% estarás obligado a revisitar el 99% de sitios una segunda vez para abrir cofres que antes no podias abrir, y puede resultar tedioso. En todo lo demas sigue mejorando la experiencia anterior, ahora Spyro tiene aliento de hielo, fuego, y viento con poderes especiales e incluso el clásico salto con cabezazo en picado de los spyro clásicos.… Expand

    The strongest of the dragon's GBA appearances. Thanks to the large number of challenges you're presented with, the game plays a lot freer and more open-ended than most platformers -- handheld or console.

    Great controls, graphics, sound and side characters - some of whom you can play in a variety of mini-game - round out a well-designed package. [Fall 2003, p.54]

    The change from action to adventure gives players a lot more to do in this latest Spyro adventure. The collecting aspect is very blatant, though, and goes a little too far in artificially extending the game's length.
