Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Inside this bundle you'll find Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

Spyro the Dragon has bright graphics in six well-developed worlds, each with several subworlds, including bogs, deserts, and ice worlds. Unlike some action games, in Spyro the Dragon the enemies are more fun than frightening. In the Peace Keepers World, for example, Spyro must burn down the monster soldiers' tent, sending one of the minions running out, quaking with fear or, if you're lucky, dropping his drawers and shooting a moon. Spyro: Ripto's Rage improves on the original with superior controls, more colorful and faster graphics, a tighter story, achievable goals, and plenty of gameplay variety. Spyro: Year of the Dragon invites you to jump down the rabbit hole to recover all the eggs stolen from Dragon World by the evil sorceress and her henchmen. It has the cartoonish look, goofy sounds, and scavenger-hunt gameplay of the other two titles. New to the series is the ability to play as Sheila, the kangaroo; Sergeant Byrd, the flying penguin; Bentley, the yeti; and Agent 9, the space monkey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spyro's Games are still to Good to be True!, August 5, 2002

On my original Playstation I bought all of these games sepreatly when they first came out, and absoulutley loved them! And now all 3 games in the series are together in a ... collecters pack, so this reveiw is for all 3 of the games, so here it goes!

Just let me start out by saying these are the most fun and challenging platforming games I own, and that includes all the Crash Bandicoots. The graphics are great and there is just so much to do in them all it will blow your head off!

These games are all about Spyro, a young curious dragon who always keeps away evil out of the Dragon Worlds. There are so many types of worlds, inclucing arabian, ice, dessert, robot, farms, dinosaur worlds, space, mountains, underwater and many more, all with great colors and suprises around you all the time. The games also have great instramental musical scores like those of Rayman, and are full of magic and numerous enemies all that fun and challenging to beat.

The characters, ( which are all whimsical and creative,) of these worlds ask you for your help, and in return give you many prizes and clues to aid.

Combined in the series, you collect many items to help you with your quests, including tailismans, orbs, and my favorite, gems, which are your currency and are scattered all around in the relams' towers, cliffs, sea-sides and just plain everywhere!

Spyro also makes many friends, and has many abilites including gliding, flying, head-bashing, swimming, breathing fire and ice, charging, super-charging and fluttering. The Spyro games are also quite simple, but may take a few extra hours to unlock everything and beat all of the speedway records, so you truly never get tired of them!

After the first in the series, Spyro, the others to follow just got more beautiful and imaginitive in all aspects and way to enjoy them.

For any fantasy and adventure liking video game player, the Spyro series have everything your looking for.

There's no way to go wrong with a dragon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spyro the Dragon games are top of the line!!!!!, July 3, 2002

This review is from: Spyro Collectors' Edition (Video Game)

I own over 70 Playstation 1 and 2 games combined. In all of the games I have played the Spyro games are still the greatest and my most favorite. Spyro combines adventure, puzzles, mystery, awesome graphics, spectacular characters, and suprise. They are games that you can sit down and totally enjoy. I can't wait until Spyro The Year of the Dragonfly comes out on Playstation2!! I just wish there were more games out there like Spyro and so far nothing has come very close. This game is great for children as well as adults. I am 32 and absolutely loved it. I hope to find more games like Spyro but in the mean time will keep revisiting Spyro and Sparx every so often when I miss them!! :) :) :)

I myself am a huge fan of the Spyro series. This gift pack is wonderful for any new beginner of this series or to adventure games. It's fun for all ages, and is very easy to learn the controls. Although this pack leaves out the mini game "Spyro: Season of Ice" for Game Boy Adavnce, it's still great for those Playstation fans, I myself included. So if your looking for a new game why not buy this awesome Spyro pakcage.
