Spyro Reignited Trilogy



Spyro the Dragon

Another iconic PlayStation figure I did not touch until now, Spyro the Dragon is a pleasant little platformer remastered, where your task is to rescue your fellow dragons and defeat Gnasty Gnore, leader of the goons running around.

You are able to either flame or bash your enemies away, and in a similar fashion towards Crash Bandicoot, this plays out evenly. There are also eggs and keys to collect to get more out of the collectathon, and there are 6 worlds to see with mini levels scattered around, and sometimes a flight only mission.

Rating: 7.3

Spyro: Ripto’s Rage!

Ripto’s Rage sees Spyro help and rescue a different world called Avalar. Spyro learns some new skills, the levels are more colourful and memorable, and there is a small supportive cast involved. A fine sequel.

Rating: 7.4

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

It’s really about the same as the previous entry. Instead of collecting talismans, you are now collecting dragon eggs and taking on a sorceress as villain this time. Some levels were more fun than others. Minigames return such as first person shooting, racing, boxing and more.

Rating: 7.4

To sum it up, I can definitely see the appeal of Spyro, but personally I prefer Crash.
