I took a chance on this game. Given what's out and what's available, and given I had a gift card, I picked Spyro up. I'd read the reviews in advance and was somewhat concerned that I was making the wrong decision. But, in the end, I didn't. Spyro is repetitive, let's say that from the beginning. The formula, find and resuce the imperiled by fighting some baddies who have them imprisioned is cut and past from one area to the next. And it's bloody irritating that you're about a third of the way through the game before you can purchase anything -- this means you have a small wallet (many thousands of gems go to waste) and can only carry one key at a time. That said, though, the role-playing element is addictive. Levelling up isn't fast, but it's not slow either, and the abilities you unlock are fun. That's what pushes the game forward, really. And, though the battle formula is repeated from one area to the next, the backgrounds, enemies, graphics, and puzzles change enough to make the game entertaining. If you can find it for 20 or 25 dollars, it's an amazing game. If the price is a premium 30 or 35, hold off and search for a copy online.
A fun and simple game with some addictive qualities.
