Swimming and flying mechanics are different, but not game-breaking. Whether a player is new to the series, or a longtime fan, it is safe to say that the controls in this trilogy are almost perfect. Skateboarding gameplay in Year of the Dragon ControlsĪ large concern is whether or not the controls are up to par with those of the original. You can collect extra lives by finding life chests which are spread throughout the levels and home worlds. Small cutscenes give you hints and tips about enemies or secret locations in the game. By gliding, charging, and flaming, Spyro collects treasure and defeats enemies until he arrives at the final boss battle. Each level is accessible through portals located throughout each home world. You venture through levels across all six home worlds to reach and defeat Gnasty Gnorc. Expanding Spyro’s story through added cutscenes and dialogue catches your attention and motivates you to fully complete each level.


I think the decision to include more characters and dialogue in the two later games is a good move. Spyro meets new creatures who all share the same goal of defeating the Sorceress. The reason for the disappearing eggs unravels as the game goes on. This time, Spyro and his friends save stolen dragon eggs from an evil villain, The Sorceress. Year of the Dragon begins with Spyro and Hunter in the Dragon Realms where they must travel to a place called The Forgotten Realms. The Professor uses his scientific brain to summon the purple dragon because they believe dragons are their only hope in stopping Ripto. These characters make it Spyro’s responsibility to save their world from a tiny terror, Ripto. Here, they meet Elora the Faun, Hunter the Cheetah, and The Professor, an intelligent, elderly mole. Spyro and Sparx attempt vacationing in Dragon Shores, but their plan abruptly ends when they end up in Avalar instead. Ripto’s Rage includes multiple cutscenes, new characters, and a more abundant story. The only cinematic scenes occur at in the start and end of the game and after Spyro rescues dragons. Spyro 1 has few cutscenes in comparison to its sequels, so its story is simpler. He collects treasure chests, chases egg thieves, and frees dragons. With the help of his dragonfly companion, Sparx, Spyro sets off to save his fellow dragons.

A little purple dragon by the name of Spyro is the only one who somehow escapes. In Spyro the Dragon, a large frog whose name is Gnasty Gnorc encases dragons in crystal.
