Better graphics, new playable characters and more modern than the others. Best in the series!!

This game is by far my favorite in the series (but I've yet to play New Beginning, Eternal Night, or Dawn of the Dragon but I dont think they'll be as good anyway) But, this game has the best graphics out of the first 5, which I love. I also love the new playable characters- Hunter, Sgt. Byrd, and Blink (and even Sparx). In this game, I feel that a lot of the minor errors in the game were corrected or made better. For instance, the flying- for some reason, at watever age Spyro is, he still hasnt learned how to flap his wings. But, getting to higher or far away places is easier. In the old games, u started to glide from however high u jumped and could only get a little bit higher if u did the stupid hover thing- one of the stupidest things about the games. In A Hero's Tale- they made it better by having him hover and spin or watever type of doublejump and then he glides. Other nuisances were things like how the gems would never move to u, u have to actually touch them to collect them. In this game, if ur close enough to them, they come to u- and u also collect a lot more. Even a simple switching of wat button to press for charging and breathing fire made the game function better cuz for some reason- it feels more natural to press square for the breath and circle for charging. Another improvement is Moneybags's stores. Another small thing that works. Probably the thing that makes this game better for me is the graphics. I hate playing old games with bad graphics cuz I always think "Wow. These graphics are bad. How did we used to think they were good?" So having pretty good garphics, even in 2004, makes this game easier to play. Overall, this game is great and a HUGE step up from Enter the Dragonfly.
