5.0 out of 5 stars Very cute, fun game!, March 10, 2003

What an awesome game! This is one of the best GameBoy games I've ever seen. The graphics are, surprisingly, bursting with color and sharpness, and it has very enjoyable music. You just want to jump into that cute little Spyro world. The game itself isn't very hard, it's the challenges! (The fire pixie challenges are incredibly annoying and frustrating.) Great for all ages-you'll never tire of this game. The characters are humorus and cute, and the game is very easy to understand. And you can play four characters: Spyro(of course), Sheila, Agent 9 and Sparx. Personally, my very favorite levels are the Spyro and Sheila ones. It's so refreshing when you finish an Agent 9 or Sheila level, and then you come out to a Spyro level, instead of doing the same levels over and over.
Some of the worlds are even holiday based too, like Shamrock Isle is based on St. Patrick's day, and then there's Christmas(Winter Mesa) and Halloween(Haunted Hills)! Another cool thing about this is the neat angle from which you play. Some GameBoy games are oh-so-dull with the boring 2-D graphics. THIS is full 3-D and far from boring!
In other words, UNBELIVEABLY AWESOME GAME!!!! GET IT!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars As addictive as the PS1 games and cuter than ever, December 28, 2002

This is the first GBA game I've played, so I'm not sure how it holds up compared to other games on the platform, but it certainly holds true to the Spyro tradition, and this game is actually a lot more fun than the new PS2 game in the series. A slightly more diminutive Spyro explores several dozen imaginative levels, collecting gems, fireflies and solving puzzles/completing challenges along the way -- more of the same, perhaps, but it's still a lot of fun.

The action is paced very well - you can progress quickly through the levels and go back later to finish up the more difficult or frustrating challenges later. All of the things that make the Spyro series great are here: a seemingly endless variety of foes and new landscapes to explore, fun sub-levels where you can play games or beat the clock in a variety of races and other scenarios, and a great sense of humor. The levels are among the most creative of ANY Spyro game, including some based on holiday imagery (Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Christmas), ice, tropics, and even a candy-themed level! I would have loved to see some of these levels on a full-scale PS2 Spyro game.

Although you can breeze through most of the levels pretty quickly, there's plenty to do after you're finished if you haven't collected all the gems and fireflies. The only real problem is controlling Spyro; as your viewpoint is rather diagonal, it's easy to misjudge which way you are going. There were times when I lost dozens of lives in a row because I couldn't quite get the angle right on a glide. It's very easy to fall off of edges, and there are a LOT of edges.

While I'm not quite sure how this stacks up compared to other GBA games, it's certainly a worthy investment for a Spyro or platformer fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spyro #2 **I WANTED TO RATE THIS GAME 3.5 STARS**, April 29, 2003

I was disapointed when I beat the game in a few hours, but I thought it was a great game when I started.It has nicely done 3D graphics, good re-play ability and good gameplay.It also has several mini-games.(2 I know of) One is a checkers game called Dragon Draughts and the other is called Sprax Panic which I've never played before.You can also play with Sheila (a kangaroo) and Agent 9 the space monkey each with their own UNIQUE levels.There are 19 levels including 4 levels with Sheila and 4 with Agent 9.As well as 3 overworlds (Sunny Plains, Celestial Plains, and Starry Plains with 1 boss in each overworld).

I still play Spyro:Season Of Flame to get all of the gems and fireflies on each level to onlock Sprax Panic and to beat the game again and again.
