  • Rip spyro 1998-2000

  • love this game i cant stop playing it!

  • This trailer made the game like s**t

  • A lot of unnecessary hate for this game

  • What the fuck did they do to Spyro. I remember coming home from school at the age of five and playing spyro on Ps2 then not knowing how to save the game I restarted night after night. Ahhh memories

  • This is a good game.

  • WHAT

    THE

    FUCK

  • Color him dark blue at the purple, cyan at the orange. Name him Blitz....

    NO MORE RAGE FROM FANS.

  • 1st:Spyro collects gems..not rings...(thats Sonic's job)

    2nd.The guy that made this "spyro" needs to be turtured... Medieval style....

  • is this vedio a glitch

  • This is a crime against everything my childhood was. An all the people who are supposedly taking the 'moral high ground' by saying that the game is not that bad are completely delusional. They've got rid of his awesome look, he used to have a awesome voice, and now it sounds like he's dribbling constantly, they've scrapped the awesome 'health mechanic' with sparx changing colour to represent health (they've actually scrapped sparx completely). The gameplay is completely different.A crime.

  • @Deanynwuddles First off, most of the people who are taking the "moral high ground" are the ones that didn't sit at a computer for hours raging and sending death threats to Activision just because they weren't making the videogame they wanted.

    Secondly, about Spyro's new look. I agree that when I fist saw it I also thought that it looked stupid and not like Spyro, but I also thought the same about the Legend of Spyro design. 

  • @Deanynwuddles

    continued...

    I've now gotten used to both of them and even think that the Skylanders design looks kind of cool. And how exactly was Spyro's voice awesome when he sounded like the Taco Bell chihuahua? As for his voice in the trailer, it was just an early preview. He sounds a lot better in the final game.

  • @Deanynwuddles

    Thirdly, they scrapped the Sparx health mechanic way back in 2006 with The Legend of Spyro because it's an outdated game mechanic from the PS1. He now has a health bar and can now take more than 3 or 4 hits. And Sparx is in fact in the game, his character comes in the Dragon Peaks Adventure Pack which hasn't been released yet.

  • @Deanynwuddles

    Lastly, the gameplay being different is not in any way a crime. Enter the Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail both contained the gameplay from the PS1 games, and they were both failures. The Legend series experimented with new ideas to try to keep the series fresh and Skylanders is doing the same thing. The inclusion of toys is not at all a bad idea, and in fact many people think it's brilliant. The gameplay itself is simple but fun to many children and even older people.

  • @Deanynwuddles

    continued...

    And, above all else, this game has more of the atmosphere of the Insomniac titles than any other Spyro game since Attack of the Rhynocs GBA. I agree that it isn't a Spyro game in itself, but it still feels like the old ones. In the end, Skylanders is at least far better than what Activsion originally had planned with Spyro's Kingdom- rated M with blood, guts, gore, humans, giant black dragons, and having nothing to do with the original or legend series.

  • @Winston1547 They....were originally planning something cool before this bullshit? THAT MAKES IT WORSE!

  • @Zarr123456 They were originally planning something that had even less to do with the series than this and would have had something looked absolutely nothing like Spyro apart from being purple. Since when was the series ever about blood and humans!? Even Dawn of the Dragon didn't nearly go that far and yet people bash that game to hell for being more violent than the previous games. Just imagine how the fanbase would have reacted had that Spyro's Kingdom game actually been made.

  • @Winston1547 Yeah I guess that would be pretty bad too....If they make a new Spyro game ever (No i don't mean a new Skylanders game...that is NOT a Spyro game.) I hope they revert back from this cartoony design.

  • @Winston1547 I actually had no problem with The Legend of Spyro trilogy.

  • WTF have they done to my beloved Spyro:(

  • Its not spyro :(

  • where is the hate button?

  • I changed my mind about this game. It's still not as good as the older Spyro games, but it's still really good. Unlike others,I actually took time to play the game.

  • I watched the tealgamemaster review. This game not only looks awesome, but a lot of fun as well. The script is pretty good, the villain is HILARIOUS... it looks really entertaining.

  • This video was probably made before the real game was made & they hadn't recorded the voices for the characters yet & the game was just a prototype. They had to use computer generated dragon sounds. So stop complaining people! No offense. I do agree though, it doesn't sound like the Spyro in the game.

  • Where's Sparx?

  • Comment removed

  • what the hell happened to my spyro?!

  • if spyro looked like the classic or the legend spyro it would not fit in with the game

  • Y'know guys, they completly changed the voice. It's not a Spyro game. IT'S A FUCKING SPIN OFF!!! They put Spyro in there so more people would buy it.

  • So, wait a second... A Hero's Tail is very different from the original trilogy, yet that game is loved. However, this game is also very different, yet is hated. Come on, guys. I love the original trilogy too (Spyro 2 is my favourite game ever) but Skylanders isn't that bad! I was surprised at how good the game was compared to my expectations. Yes, @superspyro3000 's comment is true, but still, it's a decent game. Give it a chance.

  • @TheLMan101 true

  • @TheLMan101 just to be clear, i do enjoy this game. it's a very fun game, but i don't think it has a place in the spyro series.

  • Those who are smart enough look up information on a game before buying it. even smarter ones look up the reviews and OUR OPINIONS!!! Sadly, there aren't that many smart people out there...

  • it's on wikipedia. This game is a god damn mother f***ing SPIN-OFF!!! I could not agree more with superspyro3000.

  • this is not a spyro game. this is a game with spyro in it. it's a good game, but i think spyro was added in at the last minute so more people would buy the game.

  • @superspyro3000 I could not say it better. I totally agree.

  • @superspyro3000 true but this is a spyro trailer so ho dislikes this dislikes spyro

  • @superspyro3000 i have played spyro games and i recognized lotof the attack moves...the original 3-way fireball, dash...well not anything else :I

  • @superspyro3000

    in fact, the developer was instructed to reinvent the spyro franchise and make it a Mature bloody spyro game. the developer changed Activisions mind and suggested a totally new game unrelated to the others, Skylanders. Executive producer Jeff Poffenbarger said that the game "would be geared more towards younger gamers who have no prior knowledge of the Spyro character". its intended for those who never knew spyro

  • @superspyro3000 spyro was the first skylander

  • @superspyro3000 i dissagree, the game is called, skylanders "SPYRO'S ADVENTURE" so, i think this IS a spyro game, but it has other people in it.

  • @MyK010401 maybe, but he's only part of the selection. i don't he's the main character that is needed to beat a huge majority of the game. personally, i kind of see it as spyro 3 or a hero's tale, except the focus is a little more on the side characters rather than spyro, despite having his name on the title.

  • @superspyro3000 Toys for Bob were meant to be working on a Spyro game when they came up with this. In fact, it was originally going to be called Spyro's Kingdom. I think Activision re-branded it to 'Skylanders' so they could potentially make it a frequent franchise.

  • @superspyro3000

    actually, he was always meant to be in it, but originally it was supposed to have very mature content, but toys for bob intervened and reinvented him altogheter. one thing is however true, the game was never meant to appeal to those who had played earlier spyro games

  • i have this game and it is awesome:)

  • Spyro has become a franchise for children alone.

  • This game looks cool and all but I think it'd be better if Spyro was excluded...He looks like a douchebag.

  • omg this game is so cool , damn u dislikers

    play before comment and dislike u bunch of shit

  • This is not the spyro i remember!!! The on i remember "toasted gnasty gnork" and freed dragons...

  • Agreed to both top comments ^^^ WTF

  • he

  • What the hell spyro sounds nothing like that and this is the bad trailer that makes skylanders look bad when really it's a good game

  • Personally, as I haven't played this yet, I think A New Beginning is the best one yet

  • It's like spyro with down syndrome...

  • ...the fuck is this?

  • Spyro of past was 12000000000 better than Spyro today.

    El Spyro del ayer era 1200000000000 mejor que el Spyro de hoy.

    Come Back Insomniac!

  • Check out Planetcheeseworks for more gameplay of Spyro! Thanks :)

  • This game got 8.0 out of 10 from IGN... That's proof enough Activision pays them off for good scores

  • @Jonoridge Then why did Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant and The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon get a 6 and 7 respectively from IGN in 08'? Both of those were Activision-owned, albeit Sierra-made. They got underrated, and this got underrated. However, IGN is consistent with their crappy views. They felt Spyro was trying to be "bigger than he is" with TLOS, and since this is a kid's game, they think it's better. They think less is more with "kid's" games. Fucking retards.

  • @vgman94 underrated!? The last good Spyro game was Year of the Dragon, Last good Crash Bandicoot was Warped... 6 and 7 were flattering...

  • @Jonor You think the last good one was Warped? Wrath of Cortex was a carbon copy, TwinSanity witrh Crash 2 with free-roam, and Titans and Mind Over Mutant were new, refreshing game styles. Yo seriously didn't appreciate ANY of them? WTF? I loved Spyro 2, but 3 was horrendous. Everything that Spyro 2 did right, Spyro 3 did wrong, including the story, jokes, levels. The Ripto's boss fight was epic fun, but that fat dragon's boss fight was pathetic. Dawn of the Dragon was the last good Spyro game.

  • We think the new spyro is kinda cute. He kinda looks like a baby dragon. Or something. His grunts are so adorable! Panpan's fave skylander is Wirlwind and Spyro. Katkat's fave are Wrecking Ball and Gill Grunt and Zap and Chop Chop. :)

  • Spyro looks cool wens he big

  • obiously fake. Spyro is purple that one was blue

  • Skylanders Spyro's Adventure , or as I call it... ''Meet Spyro's retarded cousin''

    Awful game IMO, Original game on PS1 was absolutely amazing!

  • Personally, I like this Spyro. I mean, sure, he looks ugly, but if you look past his face and actually see him as he is: a short, brave, funny, spunky dragon who thrives for adventure- I don't see what there is to hate besides his appearance. Saying that, he actually reminds me more of the way classic Spyro acted than say the total personality change they did in TLoS. I'm not afraid to say I love the new Spyro.

    Don't be a hater :)

  • the thing is not spyro, has not even similarity

  • 1. If it werent a Spyro game noone would be bitchin.

    2. If it werent a Spyro game it wouldnt sell

    SO JUST LOOK AT IT AS A NEW GAME! STOP COMPLAININ

  • i never knew spyro had a retarded brother

  • I Miss you, Spyro 3 :'(

  • Oh, everybody should just bugger off! This game was made for those who aren't familiar with the Spyro series. For all your concerned for is that Spyro looks bad, well I say FORGET THE LOOKS! All that matters is the actual game and the interesting use of toys as game characters. So again, bugger off ya bloody trolls

  • @PhoenicianGuard Trolls, hah thats a good one, I didn't realise having a negative opinion was considered being a troll. The concept had been already used on a game on the GBA, though it never made it to english speaking shores.

    Don't expect to release a game like this, a game with Spyro's name in the title no less, and not have negative criticism cause of the display of its characters, thinking there will be none is just being ignorant. You may like it but a lot of us don't, deal with it.

  • @PhoenicianGuard finally someone who doesnt hate spyro! :D

  • @PhoenicianGuard way to say it Bakura :3...ya your going to kill me for that XD

  • I live spyro and I must say this new design looks shitty

  • LOOK In MY opinion i would go OH WOW I CAN PUT A SPYRO FIGURE ONT A THING THANT CAN TRANSPORT INTO MY GAME? AWESOME!!!!!!! so everyone just remember SPYRO IS EPIC NO MATTER WUT now stop u noob haters. and guys this aint a series like the Legend of Spyro ( epic ) Or Old Spyro (epic) so ppl Calm your farm! heck they even put cynder in the game WOW

  • No game will ever come close to the first 3 ps1 games... It's part of my (our) childhood

  • I think Spyro in this game looks cool. He kinda looks like a normal dragon with the fangs and everything, but his voice... I can't really make anything of it. The game still sounds pretty awesome to me and the people who criticized the game need to get a life.

  • This is rubbish

  • .......

  • I'm using......... TRIGGER HAPPY!

  • @EminemPwns100 Yeah!

  • The game does look good but Spyro....... looks a little bit more like a grimlin than a dragon to tell you the truth. And....when did Sypro grunting instead of talking happened in the games before? Wait- that never happened in the games before skylanders....

  • @Badgertailwarrior he does talk JUST so u no

  • @therealBobandJoe I mean this in the kindest ways but I ment that he dosn't talk in THIS game.

  • @Badgertailwarrior but he does search in youtube Skylanders Spyros Adventure. The Beginning trailer i don't mean to be mean or anything but he does talk i have the game

  • 196 people have a life

  • I have one question for all of you, And yes. I am a original spyro fan but..How in the name of hell did Spyro change? Yes darker colors big deal, But he looks more relistice. You people should stop complaining good god if your really honestly complaning about what the characters look like then that's just sad

  • This is NOT spyro O________e it looks nothing like him he sounds retarded and he can use more than just fire they made the legendary purple dragon into a freakin flat faced whatever you would call that thing . . . Bring back the Spyro we all know and love TT-TT

  • when someone says the name SPYRO we think on a purple dragon not on a purple gremlin with wings and tail

  • They destroyed Spyro

  • @CrashSpyro125 no not really its just spyro and ur just taking it to seriously

  • @therealBobandJoe Well maybe anyway it's just a game but I've been with Spyro since 1998 so it's sort of a big thing

  • @CrashSpyro125 wat I'm trying to get round is that people are, ya no goin crazy bout spyro and his changes. heck when i first saw skylanders spyro i was liek " Ew waht is that thing?!" so since i LUV spyro and literally have all his games, ill give it a try and guess wat, its Awesome! so don't judge a book ' spyro' by its cover 'appearance' ahhh don't hate me! :( its just a message that I'm trying to get roundddddd!

  • @therealBobandJoe I don´t play this game, but I think, it have some good stuff there. The only one thing is that, why I hate it so much is Spyros new look. Srsly this is why this video have a lot of dislikes. He looks like Gnasty´s cousin.

  • @MrTriboniophorus Forget bout his looks, its Spyro so give the game a try if you don't like it thats cool but ur a spyro luver right? Classic, and 2008 Spyro yes? if so just Classic .... you'll find the game epic i was so happy when i hers obaut the new spyro game looking 4ward to it as pretty much every1 was wen i found out he had red eyes i was like ' what?!? don't he have puple eys??' it still looked pretty good GIVE da game a chance oh also give Spyro a chance..

  • This is just gay, where are the cool spyro games we will never forget, which filled our childhood with coolness and fun?

  • The real Spyro the Dragon games are 1, 2, 3 and Enter The Dragonfly. Other ones are s--t.

  • he looks like some fucking troll or spore character. thats not the real spyro. and since when does he sound like that instead of a normal person talking?! some weird creature. and since when does he collect rings?! this aint sonic! and wtf? cancel the amazing movie ive been anxiously waiting for for this shit?!?! what the hell?! they should have just made this character/game that had NOTHING to do with spyro and people would play it, not to mention it would not interfere with the movie :(

  • @Shielarox4444 dis isnt the real skylander spyro he was probly mocking spyro

  • @Shielarox4444 Well, that's Activision for you

    They put Spyro in it just because Spyro has established himself so well, and so people would buy the game

    If they didn't put Spyro in it, less people would buy it

    Activision likes to "pick up the pieces" which means they don't like to start something new. They just take something that established itself, ruin it, and make money off of it

  • @Shielarox4444 Yes , i agree...every great game series is going to be raped. Why couldnt they just make Spyro look like Spyro ? Purple dragon and such. This...this is just shit

  • @alessiear exactly or maybe made it a spyro look alike so they wouldnt get so many people pissed off, had nothing to do with the movie, had more people play it and MAYBE had some people notice he partially had the colors of spyro and get sued, it wouldnt even be a big deal for them from all the money they are raking in

  • @Shielarox4444 The movie about Spyro would have been epic , i REALLY hope that somebody will make proper movie & game from Spyro someday.

  • (:/) ck, i want him back too, but this is (sadly) what we've got, if you don't like it, and can't accept whats going on, complain to someone who can do something about it, not me, not this video comment section. Not that anyone who could do something about it would do anything even if you could get a hold of them. Greedy bastards made skylanders didn't they?

  • @IrukunTheTuna well, spyro had changed from the beloved one i fell i love with long ago, and i realize the odds of that dragon coming back are very small, and others should to. I've accepted he wont be seen again and moved on. And dont think i love what they are doing to him, trust me, i hate it...but, it's spyro and ill like him no matter what some idiots do. Personally i think half the people in the world could do a better job then what hes been in recently. i dont hate people who want him ba

  • I love these guys they look psycho and shoot everything out of their way, I love the new Spyro but Cynder....Ew...SHE'S the one who is butt ugly

  • What is that? That not spyro they must lock him up in the closet do us all a huge favor an put him back sierra and isonamic make spyro way better than this freaky wanna be.

  • spyro is awful

  • am I the only person who knows THIS IS A SPIN OFF!!!

    

  • WTF

    

  • You know I'm actually gonna give this game a shot.

  • Comment removed

  • What the hell is that purple demon rat thing and where the heck is Spyro.

  • @Nerdyliion How can you live with yourself? Spyro is BOUS!

  • @thegamerkid77 so yes i do, very much so, especially in the trailers and stuff where his scales dont look so wierd. And not to be a dick, but if you don't, stop watching these things.

  • @thegamerkid77

    I said not that bad, but its spyro, and i can't help but like him. So my obsession side says yes, my normal side...neh

  • spyro is ugly. hes not the same dragon i knew. thats really anoying to me. ITS DRIVING ME BATS!!

  • @Carleyatheena7191 Ehh. Spyro's never been a pretty little beast.

  • @lukeyfarah The reason Spyro is pissed because Activision threw him into a shit game, with a terrible plot, poor voice acting and a retarded design that makes him look like an abomanation.

  • Damn did spyro run into a tree? And what mana of voice enchancement did he get wow

  • I remember Spyro as the shit man! I remember him as a freakin young kiddo like me when I played. Now I look and he looks like they just made his skin look better, aged him, and kept him small. I swear what happened?

  • why are there so many dislikes

  • Whats with the new spyro looks??? He looks sooooo weird. The actually spyro looks are way better. I think i will play other ones besides this weird looking spyro.

  • It seems like new developers make the good stuff disappear.

  • @Blooodyh would have been better yes, but still, not the worst path

  • spyro is looking cool! and preper to be spam reported..... what you think is spyro changing is actualy just an andvance in graphics and a theme change thats all, go bck and look how spyro used to look like, dont like the game? DONT PLAY IT THEN! nobody is forcing you to......

  • Why did spyro ever change? This is crap. Insomniac did a way better job of him... And i dont know who the fuck have taken him over but they should go mess screw up their own shitty games. Why ruin a classic that was perfect for so long...

  • Wow... i feel sorry for kids. Not being able to enjoy the real spyro, instead they get this crap.

  • @CMSnow222 this is the real spyro u dipshit. he was always a skylander learning new ablitiles and new elements. now hes just protecting skylands

  • @wwedivalover431 holy shit your retarded.

  • this is just bullshit

  • did spyro get hit in the head from a falling piano or something, he seems somewhat mentally disabled now.

  • @F0reman371 are you saying this game isn't spyro or the new version of him isn't?

  • continued because i think my comment got cut off D:) spending $48 more ($78 already) on this game, simply because it contains IMO the best early video game character in the world. (and that little cynder's hiding somewhere)

  • @nToonCone I agree with the money scheme business. Unfortunalty, my love of spyro just likes to see him, even if its like this. Even the name is a joke, "spyros adventure" is only on there for that milking reason. Because anyone who has played it, knows you dont even need him, and he practically does nothing, as long as you have one skylander, you can probably beat the game.. So yes somewhat a scam, but the game is fun. For those reasons, my purple and yellow plated heart will probably end up

  • I'm ashamed of this fan base. Stop comparing every new Spyro to the originals- yes, they may have been amazing, but lets be honest, I don't think they'll come back. And this is a fantastic game on it's own. And, upside; if it sells well enough, you'll get something more similar to the old Spyro.

  • @Latieonx Its more of the problem that they changed every little detail about him...and don't keep any of the classic characters like Hunter. The game probably will have decent controls, but the look of spyro just...Ugly

  • The game looks good. But they've raped Spyro. He looks terrible and it's a real stab in the heart for players of the original games. How would you feel if your favourite game/character/etc was completely changed? It's a horrible feeling. Knowing that a huge part of your childhood is destroyed. If they had kept Spyro's original appearance and the original characters, it would be a great game probably. I might play this on my modded Wii. But with a different character. That's just not Spyro.

  • @MissBarghest oh please change ya tampon

  • I use pads, actually.

  • @MissBarghest That's just something you need to get used to, the only franchise that really doesn't get worse is mario, and Spyro has changed so many times, and you're complaining now?Where were you during the TLoS trilogy?

  • At least in the Legend of Spyro trilogy he just looked like a 'grown up' Spyro. Those games, whilst definitely not my favourite, we're more appealing than this. In this Spyro just looks like a retarded, inbred gremlin.

  • @MissBarghest It depends on the change. It's different, but the question is what replaces it? Is the replacement good? Legend of Spyro gave Spyro a deep story and great combat. This game replaces all that with nothing. Change is not the problem, the type of change is. They progressed and evolved the series. Now it's regressing into some stupid toy game. Looking at hw simplistic and repetitive the game seems, I doubt a design change would make it any better.

  • This will never compare to the original..

  • man these figures sell out like fast

  • I miss old spyro :(

    Been playing them all and then this stuff..

  • Respond to this video...  OK THEY COULD AT LEST SEND OUT THE MOVIE NOT THIS CROP :[

  • I can't believe that's the same dragon I grew up with when I was 3.

  • THIS IS WHY U DONT DO DRUGS !

    &

    Always stay TRU

    Dam spyro i will always love u for WHAT you were those memories can never be replaced. Ur old songs abd BGMS still has my heart tingling of joy to this day, same with the first 3 games. Whenever i think 90s i think YOU ! listen if yall cant make a good spyro game then just let SPYRO rest in peace. SIMPLE! the kids ur tryna market aint gonna buy ur shit anyways and if they do itll only be awhile untill they move on to the next thing. SMH

  • dude, I love this game. I love being kiddish.

  • This is fkn ridiculous. I love spyro, when i play it i feel so happy and i smile. The first three were the best, and Spyro - Enter The Dragonfly was also amazing. Everything after that was bad, now this is ridiculous..

  • The game's been released, reviews have been positive, and the game is still being trashed!? GROW UP, people. You have lost!

  • He's not even bad looking, just different. The spyro fan community upsets me...just be thankful he hasnt been thrown away forever instead of bitching that you dont like him. Like spyro for spyro, christ.

  • @Cyacide I agree with you. His new look isn't that bad. I actually think he looks kinda cool like that. About the part when you said "just be thankful he hasnt been thrown away" well I think Spyro's rival Crash Bandicoot got thrown away because they haven't even announced a new game of Crash Bandicoot yet. ):

  • @Cyacide sound reasoning, but this isn't spyro...

  • @Cyacide I'd rather they just stop making Spyro games and stop milking the franchise from his PS1 glory days. It's a sad money grab attempt.

  • @Cyacide it was better if they hadnt done this ... i remember spyro being a fun game with a lovely character i fucking loved this game and at that time i couldnt even understand english so yeah they took it and ruined it :(

  • @Cyacide yeah , Crash Bandicoot got thrown away :( I loved his games... :/

  • @Cyacide

    not to be a dick or anything, but a smashed in face looks good to you?

  • @Cyacide no.

  • @Cyacide I can respect the fact that you may like the new Spyro, but don't get mad at fans of the old Spyro for feeling the way they feel. Spyro is an iconic character representing a generation's childhood, and so people have every right to be upset that they're not staying true to the character that we've come to know and love, and that this company is basically using his name in a toy franchise to help increase it's popularity. You may like it and that's fine, but don't expect everyone else to

  • I think 182 people missed the dislike button!!!! >=[

  • Spyro was derpified...

  • They should have left the series after the third one...
