Spyro has been one of my favorite platformer characters to date.
The controls are extremely sensitive and often frustrating - especially when you're trying to make a tricky jump! You push your control stick forward only to have Spyro run in a circle!
Other times, the camera gets stuck in a bad spot to where making the necessary moves becomes a chore rather than being enjoyable as intended.
Graphically speaking, Spyro looks very good, but not marvelous. The XBOX version of Spyro looks just about the same as the PS2 version - meaning that this is a direct PS2 port, not a version designed specifically for the XBOX!
The game sounds and music compliment the game, but having the ability to use your own custom soundtracks would have gona a long way in the improvement department.
If you've played one Spyro game, you've pretty much played them all...no replay value here.
Gameplay: 7 - frustrating at best.
Graphics: 7 - should have upgraded to XBOX capabilities.
Sounds: 7 - no custom soundtracks means same old Spyro music...blaaahhh!
Replay Value: 0 - unless you have never played a Spyro game, you will most likely only play this once.
