Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly pales in comparison to the numerous superb platform games currently on the market for the Playstation 2.
Spyro's back, but he should have stayed away: to save the power of the dragons, you have to recapture the dragonflies spread across the bland worlds, complimented by shoddy, n64-retro graphics, including character models that seem to "float".
The gameplay is just as stale as the plotline and visuals. While the idea of switching between various breath powers as the situation warrants is the game's lone bright spot, as a whole it fails to be any fun due to seemingly unfinished graphics, choppy framerates, and some of the most uninspired game/level design this side of Monsters' Inc.
Many parents will no doubt buy Spyro for their children this holiday, largely in part because the cover has a pink/purple dragon on it. If Universal had put more thought into the actual game than marketing it to uneducated, yuppie soccer moms, perhaps it would be a platformer worth its salt.
