I am an adult who is addicted to game boy. Normally I prefer puzzle games, but this game is outstanding. You must work your way through 25 levels gathering gems and finding the frozen fairies, which are not always easy to find. In each world there are several levels. One you play as Sparx (who has different abilities from Spyro) and manuver among insects finding the keys and collecting special powers to unlock the doors to get to the fairy, and the rest you play as Spyro. Each level is unique and there are enemies to defeat and clever ways of finding the fairies. In some levels you must accomplish a task, such as catching a thief or turning on all of the lighthouses or freeing a caged bird or ringing bells in the correct order. You can breathe fire, fly, float and ram into objects. You cannot enter a new world until you gather a sufficient number of fairies which can be very frustrating because you must keep going back to find where they are hidden. I enjoyed the Speedway level. It is different from the regular levels because you have to beat the time and collect all of the gems without running into enemies. I enjoy this game and feel it is well worth the money.

this is a must buy!! It has full 360 degree, 3-D, exploration (movement). You ve seen the playstation version, well here it is again, better than ever, becuase its the same graphics, possibly even better, but on a handhled, amazing!!! if this doesnt keep you occupied for hours even days, possibly months... THen nothin else will, guaranteed. Overall, fantastic graphics, unbeliveable gameplay, and good value.

This game was not as good as the playstation game. If i could i would give it 4 1/2 stars but i can't and it's DEFINETLY not bad enough to get 4 stars. Anyways the basic plot is that there is a sorceror ryhnoc named Grendor. Bianca, (a sorceress from year of the dragon) comes in to the library to check out books to plan for her vacation. But she is carrying so many other books she accidently leaves her spellbook behind. Grendor finds a spell which will make him stong and smart. But he reads it upside-down and it gives him two heads and two headaches. The only cure is one hundred fairy wings. So he freezes all the fairies.

You go around finding or earning fairies by melting them with your fire breath. There are twenty five levels, each of them has a few wacked-out characters that tell you what to do. The speedways are a big dissapointment but other than that this game is awsome. It has extremely good graphics and gameplay. The sound is cheesy and repetative but you can turn that off. Unlike year of the dragon there are not levels within levels. But this is okay because because instead of lots of small easy levels there are 25 five big and challenging ones. this game is far better than anything i could have expected. all in all this is a great game and you should stop reading my boring review and go buy it.

I got this game for Christmas and I just have to say it is excellent!! The graphics are goods, the gameplay is superb and it has all your fav characters!! This includes Zoe, Hunter, and of course Sparx your best friend. There are enough gems to get (7000) and just the right amount of fairies (100). Basically the story is about this two-headed monster Grendor that imprisons 100 fairies and your mission is to save them. His two heads have a terrible headache and using the wings of the fairies will provide the antidote. By getting enough fairies you can help Bianca (Hunters lover) open portals. There are 4 worlds: Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer and in each are lots of gems and fairies to get. But beware: on your way to going to the Spring world Grendor shows up and you have to destroy him. He's a pushover though: 3 hits and he's down!! Some of the fairies are obvious to see (they're right in front of your face) but others appear if you've flamed enough burnable objects e.g candles, flowers, pool or done tasks for people. The only downside is that the game's too short. After 3 days I had completed 60%!! This is a game worth buying and is a good value for money!! Good luck on it!!

I own all the PS Spyro games, so when it came out on GBA - I had to buy it.

The graphics are great with vivid color. It's fun trying out the next board just to see how inventive the graphics will be. I also enjoy the addition of being able to flame all the pumpkins, flowers, etc., that hold the hidden fairy on each board. It's easier to attain extra lives too, so that you can build up your supply before trying to complete that hard board.

Cons:
***Spyro is a little harder to control on the GBA(but you soon get use to it)
***I still find it a little aggravating not being able to see very far in front of Spryo (even when you use your view button)
***Some boards have constanting jumping from one thing to the next, I prefer to be able to walk around and explore more. (of course this may not be bothersome to most)

Overall it is FUN game to play with lots of play time (in other words, you won't finish the game in two weeks and be bored with it). If you haven't tried Spryo now is the time to try. FLAME ON!

The Best game ever will hit the GBA, and I am waiting on fire, I also bought a GBA only for Spyro 4, can you believe that! I am sure that this game will raise the number of GBA sold in the world.

...I have all of the spyro games for the playstation and, you will agree they are all fun. When I heard there was a new game for the gameboy advance I knew I had to get it. I did. I played it and I can tell you, It isn't as good as it looks
As soon as you turn it on you can see it is good. People to talk to, tasks to do, It's all fun while it lasts.It looks amazing but will it last?
Maybe. If your a dedicated Spyro fan like me you will get alot out of it. But if spyro is new to you, you might find it difficult to get in to. I like it though and it is worth Buying...

I think Spyro: Season of Ice is brilliant! The graphics are goods, the game play is excellent, and the music is great. There are enough gems to get (7000) and just the right amount of fairies (100). The game includes all your favourite characters in it: Hunter, Zoë and Sparx. There's also greedy Moneybags, but the less we talk about him, the better! Basically the story is about a two-headed librarian called Grendor that imprisons 100 fairies in ice and your mission is to rescue them. His two heads have a terrible headache and using the wings of the fairies will provide the only antidote. The fairies are scattered around the four worlds. Some are obvious to find (they're right in front of your face) but others are found when you burn flammable objects (e.g. flowers, fountains, candles etc) or when you complete a task for somebody. The four worlds are Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer and by collecting enough fairies you can help Bianca (Hunter's lover) go to the next world. But beware: when you head towards the Spring world you have to face Grendor. He's pretty easy to beat: 3 hits and he's down! The only downside is that it's too short. After 3 days I'd completed 60%!! The game is definitely worth the money and worth buying. Good luck on it!!
