FUNKY_GUN'S PROFILE

I mean I can see you hating the Season games, but Attack of the Rhynocs for the GBA fixed almost every problem the first 2 had.

The main reason Insomniac stopped making Spyro games is that once Spyro went multi-plat, Insomniac stated that they were still only making Sony games. This is why it's impossible for them to take Spyro back whether they wanted to or not. But yes, they don't want to. However, I still think Heros tail is the best console Spyro game after the first 3 that was actually good.

As for the horrible reboot. I was angry at Sierra for publishing such crap. Really? Now there's a reason why he's purple? The whole put the egg in the basket and throw it in the river was corny as well. I also don't give to shits who the voice actors are if the game is repetitive button mashing attack recolors of the same enemy for 4 hours. Sadly, some people actually like these games. But probably because they know nothing about the original Spyro and are like 14 year old kids.

I still dable with Spyro games though hoping it will start being good again. But mostly I try to chill out with Insomniacs Ratchet and Clank series nowadays and I used to enjoy the open world of Jak and Sly. But Jak is pretty much over from what I see. I did here a Sly 4 was coming out.

But I found Ratchet and Clank too straight forward and not enough open objectives however. I tried Resistance and I liked that. However, there are some games I can't stand in 3D movement (X7 comes to mind. Terrible. Oh and Kingdom Hearts 2.) Way to linear if that is the correct word for it.

@Sorceress Have you beaten the game?

i WAS asking. Although I do have to admit Crash has been doing way better than Spyro. Oh an at least Sonic the Hedgehog is slightly improving, but if they really are going to base the next Spyro games off the TLOS trilogy, you might as well throw all hope out yonder window.

What do you mean? Aren't all Legend of Spyro reboot games made by the same developer except this one?

Insomniac never owned Spyro, just like Crash. Universal owned both. When Naughty Dogg accepted being brought by Sony, Crash went away with Universal. Insomniac, unlike Naughty Dogg, is an independent company, but they won't take Spyro back as they wanted a character who could do more, like shoot guns. So they made Ratchet and Clank. While I like R&C a bit, it lacks the open exploration I likes about Spyro. Of course, Insomniac wants to make games only for Sony console at the moment for some reason so that's another reason.

After the last PS1 Spyro game for Insomniac, the First GBA Spyro was made. I actually think Season of Ice, Season of Flame, and Attack of the Rhynocs are the best GBA games you can buy with their Isometric 3D and beautiful visuals while still having the old Spyro feel.

Spyro on the PS2 was another story, as they hyped Spyro: Enter the dragonfly way to much for a game that looked way to much like the older games with horrible gameplay. If they had not hyped it so much, Heroes Tail, the next game, would have been reviewed differently. I thought Heros Tail was fantastic, and so did many other people. Then, Vivendi did something stupid and fused Crash and Spyro in 2 games. Spyro Orange, and Crash Purple. Ironically, I can't stand Spyro Orange, and liked Crash Purple.

Then the Spyro DS by Sierracame out. With it's Dark World/Real world story. it was quite interesting. The 3D Boss battle were the best on DS at the time. But the game was just so buggy and had problems. When I heard Sierra was going to keep doing Spyro, I thought they would improve on what they did With Spyro DS. But instead they rebooted the series in a 3 game trilogy called THE LEGEND OF SPYRO and while the first game was pretty different and lacked a lot of what made Spyro good. I thought just a little that it wouldn't be so bad. But it got worse until this point. I'm still struggling to play these 3 games to the finish.

Of course, I play games were Spyro showed up in. This means I bought the crash games on the PS1 because Spyro Demos where in them. Well, 2 and up anyway. I brought Nitro Kart because Spyro was a playable character on PS2. However, the GBA version of Nitro Kart is the best racing game I have played in my life till this day. I then went to buy Crash purple and borrowed Spyro orange. Then I brought Crash Twinsanity because I heard Spyro was in the game. Crash Twinsanity is, and I am pretty sure I am right, the ONLY open exploration Crash game. It's actually one of my favorite games because of that. It also had interesting stories. Sadly, you could not play as Spyro, but he was in it.

The Legend of Spyro also had GBA gams, but they played like Spyro Orange so I borrowed and tried playing but couldn't do it.
