    A bad game. This series was killed after Insomniac released the control. You shouldn't waste your time with this game. I wouldn't even give this to my worst enemy. That is how bad it is.

    The story is lame, the game's difficulty balance is terrible and overall it isn't a good game or worth your money or time. Do not bother ever putting this game in your Ps2 because you will be dissapointed.

    Even more wooden-hearted and mean-spirited than A New Beginning. Pros: Again, good graphics and visuals. Cons: Again, generic and formulaic, and refuses to push the boundaries of whatever genre it "claims" to be.

    Spyro died after the 3rd release by Insomniac. The rest of the series is pure garbage. The same with Crash series

    The Legend of Spyro: A new Beginning was bad, but this one just blows it out of the water. So bad so that I'm unable to understand how some people, especially some critics, were able to write positive reviews. In fact, there's nothing redeemable about this game. The story is bad, the art and music are lame and forgettable, but the gameplay is where it truly stinks.

The story is bad, the art and music are lame and forgettable, but the gameplay is where it truly stinks. The platforming is scarce, boring and simplistic, while the combat (which composes 99% of the game) is repetitive, boring, and artificially difficult. It's already annoying that the combat is so lame, but why is it so unfairly tough? Spyro has no invincibility frames, so chances are that if you're surrounded by enemies (which happens all the time, since you're facing waves of dozens at a time) you'll be stun-locked to death. And the bosses are a pain to deal with, most of them don't have any build-up animations, and their AI is awful.

    Spyro's gameplay works just like it's suppose to--just like it has in every other game in the last decade, so it feels like the development team just phoned this one in. [Nov 2007, p.142]

    A solid platformer with some nice visuals and simple but enjoyable gameplay. It doesn't have any huge, glaring deficiencies to speak of, but at the same time, it's simply not cut from the sort of stock that makes a classic.

    What Insomniac began Krome have now made completely their own, taking Spyro from a lighthearted adventure to a hardcore dark platformer. [Nov 2007, p.56]
