Video Game Reviews of Spyro A Hero's Tale
Customer Review: More Spyro fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
This game was pretty fun, the graphics were just beautiful. When I first got the game, it was rather difficult to beat since I was playing the original Spyro games for Playstation for so long. But than I eventually got use to it, grew to like it more and more. The game play is excellent! Spyro is re-mixed in this nice new world where everything seems connected and its like your traveling through a great big maze of colorful, cheerful, and foreboding dark worlds. You have plenty of new task to complete as well as some old ones that are vaguely familiar.
Old Task:
1. Collecting gems.
2. Destroying enemies for gems.
3. Flaming weaved baskets and ramming steeled/iron chest.
4. Egg Thieves, catch the thief of course, to collect an egg. Although the thieves look a LOT different now and there are ten eggs to a set, that if you collect them all, allows you to receive or get to do something special.
5. Ramming through cracked walls or blowing through blocked off entrance ways with a cannon.
6. Spark Shooter, which is different but still familiar, not as hard as the original shooter from Spyro: Year of the Dragon for Playstation.
New Task:
1. Completing St.Byrd flying levels.
2. Hunter Level, where you play as Hunter using a bow to collect an light gem and egg.
4. Blink, where you play as a mole to collect 5/10 Dark Gems.
5. And other random characters that need your help throughout the game.
6. Collecting Light Gems.
7. Collecting Dark Gems.
Old Moves:
1. Flame.
2. Jump.
3. Walk.
4. Running (although its more of a "bucking," gallop now).
6. Head bash.
New Moves:
1. Double Jump.
2. Electric Breathe.
3. Water Breathe.
4. Ice Breathe.
You can also buy different missiles or collect them about the world to beat enemies that might be out of reach. There are also a number of items you now have to buy. Instead of collecting gems to collect them all, you now have to collect them to buy things. Money Bags has changed a LOT! He is now more annoying than ever, having you hand over your gems to buy items to get farther in the game in shops in the home world, he even has his little portals where you can buy them which cost twice as much in the mini worlds! There are Spark Keys you have to collect to open locked chest that ether give you a Light Gem or an Egg, there is also a nice new set of horns that you can buy that increase the damage and force your Head bash move does, there is a bottle of butterflies that you can buy too that allows you to have an extra set of full life incase you die and much more!
You can also play as difference characters in the game, besides the ones already listed above, like Flame or Ember. Of course, you have to collect all ten eggs of a set to play as one. When you do though, they still have the voice of Spyro, so it kind of takes away from being that new character.
The Worlds?
There are numerous worlds that you travel to and at least four homes worlds where you start from.
1. You first start at Dragon Village, where it is has two other worlds you can travel to, Crocovile Swamp and Dragonfly Falls. You also have to defeat Gnasty Gnorc again, who looks pretty pitiful and cheesy compared to him being the villain in Spyro the Dragon, the first game on Playstation.
2. The second place you travel to, after defeating Gnasty Gnorc and getting the electric breathe is Coastal Remains, which you also travel to its two connected worlds: Cloudy Domain and Sunken Ruins. The Boss of this entire new world is Ineptune, who reminds you vaguely of the villain from The Little Mermaid.
3. After defeating her you go to the home world of Frostbite Village, which also has Gloomy Glacier and Ice Citadel. After getting all the Dark Gem, you than get to face Red, well, kind of. And you travel to the last world...
4. Stormy Beach is the last home world and is one of my favorites. The two other mini worlds in this place is Molten Mount/Magma Falls and Dark Mine, but there is also Red's Laboratory where you can finally defeat Red once and for all!
Overall I give this game four stars. The reason behind this is, even though it's a nice game and fun to play, it can get very confusing and things seem all mused together, with barley any distinction between the worlds within the home worlds.
