4.0 out of 5 stars Whole Day Addiction. . ., November 5, 2004

This review is from: Spyro A Hero's Tale (Video Game)

VERY ENTERTAINING, addictive, and fun.

Graphics were fine, colorful and pleasant, but not shockingly beautiful like in "Harvest Moon" or "Myst" games. They are probably average for games released in FY05, which is to say fairly crisp and enjoyable.

I shelled out the $50 for this game because I have a cold and I thought it might help take my mind off my runny nose. It sure did! The afternoon flew by (and today I feel much better). So far the hardest challenge has been successfully completing 1:42 Sgt. Byrd flying-obstacle-course/shoot-em-out. It took me, well, more than 10 tries. (We'll leave it at that. I'm not a very talented computer-flier.) Otherwise, the enemies seem to die pretty easily when confronted with my fire-breath. The challenges are varied, and the game provides lots of exploration adventure. It requires many drago-acrobatic maneuvers, most of which are achievable within 1 to 3 tries. (Not too frustrating, which is good for a 30+ adult who is relatively new to gaming.)

Overall, I would recommend it for kids or for the kind of adults who have tried Halo and found themselves stuck in a corner getting shot by everyone else. You know . . . the adventurer types who enjoy exploring fun environments and blowing up the occasional ugly bad guy, but who get bored by too much violence. ---MATA

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back to the REAL Spyro!, November 17, 2004

This game is completely enjoyable. What a comeback after the last Spyro game flop. There are many worlds to explore, and characters to meet. You will see familiar and new characters alike as you journey on. The humor throughout the game was a plus, and had me laughing out loud more than once :)The game is not easy and it's not too hard, so it has been very enjoyable for both myself and my nine-year-old son. Great job!! Worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ONLY SPYRO GAME I LIKE, June 18, 2005

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Spyro A Hero's Tale (Video Game)

THIS GAME IS GREAT. WE RENTED IT FOR PS2 AT BLOCK BUSTERS. WE LOVED THE GAME SO MUCH THAT WE BOUGHT IT FROM THEM. THERE ARE MANY REALMS YOU CAN VISIT, GET NEW BREATHS LIKE FIRE( WITCH YOU ALREADY HAVE FROM THE BEGINNING) ELECTRIC BREATH, AQUA, AND FREEZING BREATH. THERE ARE MORE THINGS ABOUT THE GAME, BUT IT'S SO LONG , i CAN'T WRITE IT ALL IN ONE REVIEW. SO GET THE GAME AND FIND OUT MORE. I SAY IT'S NOT A WASTE OF MONEY AND IT'S A GAME THAT WON'T FINISH IN ONE DAY.
