Game is broken up into a hub world, each of which having a number of portals to smaller worlds within. His basic abilities remain unchanged throughout, the only changes coming with stage specific abilities such as a super flame and super charge. He can jump, glide and attack enemies with a head charge and his flame breath. I have to applaud them for leaving that kind of thing as it was, despite the huge graphical jump in this remaster. It’s charming in how no nonsense the story is, as well as how Insomniac couldn’t be bothered to write unique lines for each and every dragon saved.Įven the ending is abrupt as all hell, cutting hard to black as soon as the final boss is defeated before showing a final cut scene that can’t be any longer than 15 seconds in length.
Although it is revoiced.Īs a result the interaction with Spyro’s peers ranges from ill timed gameplay tips, to weak jokes or just a simple thanks for releasing them. In keeping faithful to the original game, none of this dialogue is changed. Which is odd considering there aren’t any female dragons in the game.Īfter the first cut scene, all story and interaction comes from the dragons as you release them from their crystalline prisons. He also turns all of their treasure into minions for him army and steals the Dragon’s eggs. This proves to be a very shortsighted move on the Dragon’s part as Gnorc instantly, and effortlessly, turns all of the dragons into crystal statues. The game begins with some dragon’s throwing shade at a frog man called Gnasty Gnorc during a TV interview. To say the story behind the original Spyro is bare bones the biggest understatement. As I play through the trilogy I’ll give my thoughts on each game in turn, starting with the original: Spyro the Dragon. Where Crash was unforgivingly brutal in its difficulty, Spyro was a more laid back and relaxing affair. Even now, I remember these games being the antithesis to Crash Bandicoot. I was really excited to get my hands on these games again, especially two and three, having played the original again not too long ago. It was also one of my earliest memories of following a developer, playing the Ratchet and Clank series afterwards because the same people were making it.
They were some of the earliest I remember being able to 100%, and so I played them over and over. Insomniac’s three original Playstation Spyro the Dragon titles were amongst my favourite Playstation games growing up. When That Crash Bandicoot trilogy came out last year, all I could think was one thing: When Spyro!
