What seems like a fun time flaming Gnorcs soon turned into the adventure of Spyro's young life. There's no doubt that Spyro is one of the most technically advanced games on PlayStation. Spyro, the last of the dragons not frozen into crystal statues by the Gnasty Gnort, is also the youngest of the dragons and pretty much the cutest character to hit PlayStation yet. He takes on the quest of rescuing the other dragons in several beautifully rendered free roaming 3D worlds. Especially with an analog controller, moving Spyro around soon becomes second nature.
Levels consist primarily of picking up gems and finding where the dragons are hidden.
While this entertains for a while, protracted gameplay becomes mildly tedious and repetitive. The only real puzzles to be found consist of figuring out which cliffs to jump off of to get to a specific ledge and, once you know what to look for, it's not that tough. However, it's pretty clear this game was intended for younger audiences. Everything in Spyro's world is bright, colorful, and responsive. If Spyro shoots a jet of flame at a tent, for example, it will burn up and show the soldier cowering inside.
