Let's get this strait, Spyro and Crash Bandicoot are my favorite GBA games. I've played and beaten every one of those games for GBA. You can imagine how thrilled I was to find out there was another GBA Spyro game out. The day it came out, I dragged my mom over to the store to fork over thirty dollars to buy the game.

The game started where Spyro and his dragonfly friend (name slipped my mind) are going home to his parents. Immediatly, I knew this was not the ordinary Spyro game where you did quests and collected gems. You basically battled monsters and tried to get to the end. This was not even like a Crash Bandicoot game.

That was what you did the whole time, try to get to the end of the level without dying. Also, the only way to die was to fall off one of the few cliffs or be defeated by a monster. But with the few cliffs there were and the huge amount of health crystals (literally one ever screen) you never died.

I finished the game in less than a week. It would have been less but the game got boring and didn't hold my attention for more than thirty minutes at a time. The overall game time took me.... two hours to complete. Yep, that's right One Hundred and Twenty Minutes. Short amount of game time for a thirty dollar game huh? Also, let's get this strait. I STINK at battling! I couldn't beat the PInnochio Level in Kingdom of Hearts: Chain of Memories, I couldn't get past the first Megaman level. Yet, I beat this (battle)game in TWO HOURS!

Overall, it was an ok game. Maybe considering buying this for someone that is seven, terrible hand-eye coordination (and I mean terrible!), or if this is their first ever GBA game where they are still getting used to hitting the R and L buttons or the controls in general. If not, skip buying this game and buy another Spyro game OR if you have to have it, wait until the price drops below twenty dollars.

I purchased this game for my grandson's birthday, he was thrilled and loves playing it again and again He is 9yrs. old.

I bought this game yesterday and in less than 24 hours I finished it. There are very few games that I have ever finished never mind in a day. Over all it was a fun game and it was nice to play a game that gave me a chance but it was the same thing over and over again. It wasn't overly challenging. I think this would be a great game for some one under the age of 10 who has a hard time getting very far in games but wait till the price comes down.

Bought this for my 8 year old son, he & his cousins love this game. They have several other Spyro games, this one seems to be like the others. Great fun !!

My nephew loves the game, becuse it is different then the other spyro games. Great fun to play.

I am a big time Spyro fan, so of course I was thrilled to play this game. I enjoyed the 'flashback to the 80s platformer' game style and the overall look of the game, but it was over too quickly! I finished the game in a few hours and it wasn't strictly because it was a short game...it was also very easy. Definitely not one of my favorite games and although I enjoyed it while it lasted, I doubt I will be playing it again.

I bought this game for my 8 year old daughter, and there are a few sections she has real difficulty getting through; I often hear "Mommy! I can't do this, please help!".

Otherwise, the graphics are cute & the storyline is awesome.
