Gamespot is being a little bit too harsh...

User Rating: 7 | Spyro: A Hero's Tail PS2
Spyro a heros tail is not as bad as Gamespot says. At the beggining of the game it is worse than gamespot says but once you get into it and start playing it is not that bad. It has huge improvements from Enter The dragonfly and is much better than ETD and a little bit better than new beginning. Although it is made for some of the younger kids it is still fun for all ages. The mini-games are not very interesting but sometimes can be pretty enjoyable. Its good that you can play this game as 5 main characters and that you can also play as ember or flame for the story again. The collectables are sometimes difficult to find which makes it sometimes fustrating and some minigames are boring and very hard. The Graphics and map are still great and the Gameplay is enjoyable. You cant say it is a long game as i completed 100% in a week and 2 days. It is worth the cost at this time as to it is only around $15 right now. Overall it is a good game for 7-12 year olds and Spyro fans . Yet i wouldnt recommend it to alot of people. Sorry bout the spelling =P cant be bothered fixing it up.
