You are quite a good reviewer, I must say. This game(and the other two games in the Spyro trilogy) do look like a lot of fun. It's a shame that me and my family missed out on them during the days that the PS1 was around. I played a small bit of this game in a hotel room, but that was it.

Anyways, which flavors of Doritos would you give to each game in the Spyro trilogy?

@KingRaikou

Spyro 1 - Tangy Cheese Doritos - Great and can play it again

Spyro 2 - Tangy Cheese Doritos - Great and can play it again

Spyro 3 - Chilli Heatwave Doritos - Awesome game! Worth playing!

Great review, well scripted and good choice of gameplay clips. You do need a better mic though! :P. I've just discovered the Spyro games when i bought my PS1 a few months back (yeah I know, only 3 generations behind everyone else!) I've already completed Spyro 1 and 2, and this review convinced me that i need to get the 3rd one! Only problem is it's really rare now.

@Nismology5 that mic problem has been fixed. if you look at my Top 15 3D Platformers video, you'll see I got a better mic with higher quality. =P

Its kinda strange because in gexups review of Spyro 2, and later his naughty dog vs insomniac vid he claims that most people will say Spyro 1 or Spyro 3 are what most people say are the best. In his videos he claims that most people dont notice Spyro 2 as much because there to busy paying attention to either spyro 1 or 3.

His vids are worth checking out since he's not only the ultimate naughtydog/ insomniac fan, but also the ultimate platformer fan as well.

[Zookstar1000]

@Edgefox88 I already know him. He's awesome and he inspired me to do reviews, top 10s and all that. And him saying Spyro 2 is the best, thats his opinion, which I can respect. I will admit, Spyro 2 did have the best music and boss battles, but to me, the gameplay is whats most important, and I think Spyro 3's was more challenging and addicting. but eh, we all have a different taste in gaming.

@Zookstar1000 (This has nothing to do with the comment before but I just wanted you to get this)

I was looking in my closet when I found my PS1. It reminded me that I once had Spyro: Dragonfly or something like that. Gave me a strange sence of nolstalgia when I saw it on youtube. Did you review it? If not, is it worth the money?

does charmed ridge remind anyone else of the dream weaver homeworld in spyro the dragon

I'm pissed off this isn't on the UK PS Store

@tmoney7601 well i live i europe so maybe that's why.

One thing I loved where the personalities of the charecters you buy from money bags you have ;

shiela is kind hearted and caring

sgt. byrd is strict and tough as nails

bently is intelligent (Like the one from the sly series not as intelligent) yet not afraid to use brute force ( which I love)

agent 9 is just plain crazy and hy-hy-HYPER

even spyro himself it shows in this game hes more cocky and determined to find those dragon eggs.

Insomniac games really put some thought in this game

[tmoney7601]

@lugia52320 are you sure I just checked and it is on there along with 1 and 2.( it may just be in north america.)
