Spyro: The Dragon for PlayStation 1

Pros: Excellent graphics, great backround music, easy to get extra lives.
Cons: Audio quality could be better, some levels are extremely difficult to solve. The instruction booklet gives a minimal overview of the game itself. Unlike Spyro II there is no map available to view while playing the game.

Having burned out 2 Playstations so far (between the brood and myself) I like to consider my household fairly "game aware" (a polite term for addicted). We have about 25 games that range from learning to trivia to spy / 'shoot 'em up' games....

Pros: Fun, Easy yet hard, exciting, never-gets-boring
Cons: Hard to beat

INTRO TO SPYRO
Spyro. Spyro the Dragon. Spyro the Dragon is my favorite PlayStation game, and that’s saying a lot. Well, it’s my favorite series at least. Anyhow, on with the intro to Spyro. Spyro is a dragon. He’s more or less a...

Pros: Even way back when, Insomniac games were awesome.
Cons: No cons to Spyro, he is as fun today as he was then.

PS3 is awesome. While playing Ratchet and Clank Future, my son and I thought about how far video games had come. EA games may be one of the biggest studios, but to us, Insomnniac was always one of our favorites. Way back, before their fantastic ...

Pros: A vast World to explore, comical enemies, great music
Cons: Too short, not very challenging

In an age and time when RPGs cloud the game universe, it’s hard to find a fun game to just sit down and enjoy as a game, not worrying about the storyline or character development. That's why this is a marvel... that even after 8 years, Spyro the ...

Pros: Easy controls, great graphics, overall fun game to play
Cons: Some parts can get frustrating, might be tough to fully complete without the strategy guide

I first got Spyro the year the game was released, which was about 1998, I can't remember exactly. Yet only today did I completely finish the game, not because it's so hard that it takes 3 years to master, but rather just because I never managed to play...

Pros: Ever wanted to be a dragon?
Cons: A few bugs and glitches, nothing major

Spyro has now been celebrating his third birthday since Christmas 2000 when Spyro 3 was released in stores. Yet by my clock, he's still new and fresh, and for me, he's been around for 1 1/2 years. It's quite awhile, but the original Spyro...

Pros: Easily played by kids
Cons: Time consuming

My daughter started playing video games when she was 4 years old and got bored with them very quickly because a lot of them were too hard for her to play.

After buying numerous Nintendo games for her we decided to get a Sony Playstation...

Pros: Fun and adventurous
Cons: Play control kind of lacks

Cons: Spyro's voice and the difficulty

There are many great things about playing this game:

Spyro the Dragon is amazing. Simply amazing. The graphics...

Pros: It's a really fun, lengthy, game for all ages!
Cons: Might feel like a bit of a pansy buying it for yourself at the store.

I just recently got into playstation when my husband (who was my boyfriend at the time) moved into our apartment. He is a HUGE playstation fan. So I started by watching him play and realized what I was missing. I had long since played with my old...

Pros: graphics, gameplay

Pros: kid friendly, humorous

The first time I saw Spyro the Dragon was when my nephews were playing it at our last family gathering. It looked like a funny game, so I borrowed it, not knowing that that was a big mistake. Because for the next several days I did nothing else...

Pros: fun game, easy to control, vast levels to explore
