Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: Following on from the hugely popular PlayStation Series Spyro is back in Spyro-The Year of the Dragon and this time he is cuter than ever.
The story starts with the same old adage of an evil leader taking hostages and then you as the only one who can save them and the world from this tyranny.
All sounds familiar so far, well you are wrong, because once you get past the cut scenes of all your family's eggs being stolen and you being the only one that can get them back, you are presented with a wonderful array of colours, scenery and graphics that play with your senses.
I know that seems to be going over the top a little, but imagine graphics that are slightly better than Rayman 2, yet with a little dragon with very hot breath and you'll get the picture.
With the exception of the Rayman series, normally when a game is this graphically luscious, the levels and actual gameplay suffers, but not here. Spyro is a full 37 levels packed with everything from running to skateboarding, with a learning curve that will suit old fans and newcomers alike.
With other characters available as well, the story isn't just about Spyro and his flames, as you chase around after the eggs and every gem you can lay your hands on to access the secret levels and add bonuses.
This title has appeal to all ages really, whether it's the younger gamer for the colours and the non-violent gameplay or the older player who is looking for a new challenge, you will find it all here. --Stuart Miles

Spyro once again has to save the world and after finally managing to go on his holiday in dragon shores he comes back to the dragon worlds and while him and his dragon friends are sleeping all of the dragon eggs that are soon to be hatched are stolen by evil rhynocs and the the apprentice of the evil sorcoress. They manage to get away just in time through a whole onto the other side of the world the forgotten worlds. And who is the only person small enough to fit throught the hole. Yep you guessed right Spyro. He is on another world saving adventure to take back the dragon eggs and on the way he can take on small tasks such as skateboarding or beating an evil marine in a submarine. This is another brilliant spyro adventure amnd is a must buy ... Read More:

Another brilliant, gem-collecting, foe-flaming game! But this time, you have more friends, and you can play as them aswell as them helping you in boss battles. There is also a few skateboard levels where you can do awsome tricks on a skateboard, collecting gems and running into gem baskets on the way down a slope!

I absoloutely loved this game , in my personal opinion it is the best game in the Spyro series (Closely behind is Spyro 2)
The game revolves around a sorceress who steals the dragon eggs from the dragon realms.Working with her is her trainee sorceress Bianca.Spyro is yet again off to save the day
The gameplay style is a bit different as you can not only play as Spyro you can also play as:
Sheila the kangaroo
Sgt.James Byrd
Bentley the yeti
Agent 9 the monkey
Spyro's controls are basically the same however he can ride in many vehicles from Tanks to sheep UFO's
This game is indeed a joy to play and definately worth buying

Back in the old days I knew that Sony were going to do a Spyro 3 game after the success from Spyro 1 and Spyro 2, so my mum surprised me one evening when she brought me back the game! To tell you the truth, comparing the first days play between Spyro 2 & Spyro 3, I actually didn't play Spyro 3 as long as what I did with Spyro 2!
I finished the game a good old few times, but it was placed in my CD wallet for a good old period of time. Now, going back to the Playstation 1 world, I popped on this classical game and finished it within 1-2 weeks. This third instalment of Spyro games, probably took me longer to do than Spyro The Dragon, and Spyro 2: Gateway To Glimmer!
Continuing with the story from Spyro 2! In Spyro 3, ... Read More:

This game is by far the best Spyro game ever created.
This game has large, colourful levels to explore and mini-games from blasting tanks to rescuing wolf cubs. Master tricks in the skatepark and skills in the submarine. This game is packed with activities that can be played over again for hours on end.
The glitches make the game even more facinating. Turn Spyro different colours, swim in mid air, and even skate on a squidboard.
Play as Sparx the dragonfly, Sheila the kangaroo, Sargent Byrd the penguin, Bentley the yeti and Agent 9 the space-monkey as well as the purple dragon himself in his third adventure.
Buy it! There's far too much to do to rent it!
