    "Boy, how convinient is it that Spyro is here to save the day?" Go back to Spyro 2 (and to a slightly lesser extent 3) and you'll see the same exact thing.

      3 is actually a great game bro i don't know what in the hell your talking "lesser extent" on the game at least insomniac games put more effort into the gameplay compare to the other spyro games

      @@raphaelbrown6314 Spyro 2 and 3 are excellent. What I'm talking about in my comment is the convenience of a hero being right there where he's needed, even though it doesn't make sense in the story. In Spyro 2, Spyro is taken to a whole new world where he's never been before (I assume? I guess I don't know that for sure, but it seems that way), and yet the first thing every character says when he enters a new level is a variation of "Hi Spyro, I'm so glad you're here!" Spyro 3 is a little bit better about it, which is why I said "to a slightly lesser extent" in my original comment.
      Hope this makes sense.

    0:52 I'm in the minority who only knows of Spyro *because* of A Hero's Tail... But it was such a great game, have so many good memories and nostalgia from it and been meaning to replay it, so I guess that isn't a bad way to remember the character.

    I think this game is pretty great tbh. Felt like an actual new game and not just trying to copy the originals (and failing).
    Was pretty polished and well designed imo. I rate it highly. (Apart from the mole)
    But I guess it was too little too late.

      +Nextwhowantstodie step forward Ehh... Twinsanity didn't make any bad voice actor and character design choices, was pretty humorous and had great gameplay. AHT doesn't deserve to be put on the same pedestal.
      I'll give it credit for trying to do its own thing, but don't compare the two. Even as unpolished as Twinsanity was, it is miles above A Hero's Tail.

    I love this game. For me, the only major flaw is with having to do every mini game twice. I think if you only had to play through Blink's missions once and could get both the egg and light gem in one go, they would be far more tolerable. I also think a lot of the dialogue is cringeworthy, but since I enjoy most of the gameplay, I can let that slide. For me though, though this game ranks highly, the gba ones are my favourite out of the non-insomniac Spyro games (if you ignore a certain cross-over one....)

      I meant that if a bad game like bubsy could get a reboot I could see other lower tear franchises like Gex getting a remake too not that Gex is a bad series. I played the Saturn version of the first game quite a bit in middle school it was fun but nothing special imo. It probably could be really cool though with a more ambitous reboot if they really went all out with the media theme and level design and reworked the way catch phrases work so they wouldn't get as grating as in the old game. Could've worded that much better admittedly.

      Daniel Requena Personally I adore the 3 PS1 Spyro games (my favourite games of all time without a doubt), I still really really enjoy Enter the Dragonfly even though it's not good because it's the only one after the originals that makes me feel like I'm playing a Spyro game.. A pretty bad one but a Spyro game nonetheless, the GBA games kind of have the right feeling but fall flat because of how frustrating they can be, A Heroes Tail is okay.. Just doesn't have that Spyro feel to it, and then I'd say the exact same thing for almost every Spyro game after that, non of them are terrible but non of them are great and non of them feel like Spyro.
      As for Crash I adore 1,2 and WOC, I really like number 3 but the fucking vehicle levels really tarnish my enjoyment, Twinsanity had cool music but the game design is so lacking and causes it to be far more frustrating than fun, the GBA games I actually really like, they're mediocre but fun and feel like Crash, the Mutant games are alright but much like most later Spyro games they just don't feel like Crash should.
      As I'm sure you can tell, whether a game feels like the series it's meant to be or not is very important to me, you can stick Spyro or Crash in any game but if the game design, gameplay, art style and music isn't right then as far as I'm concerned they're not Spyro or Crash games.

    3:47 huh… now that I think about it, the Crash and Spyro 5th Entries: TwinSanity and A Hero’s Tail did try experimenting with the Jak and Daxter series’s Open World 3D Platformer style over the years, which is honestly what I’ve always liked about Jak and Daxter as a whole, over the years playing the Jak and Daxter trilogy on PS2, PS3, and on PSVITA which I know only had the 30 frame rate level for the Jak and Daxter trilogy’s PSVITA but I still consider that port my favorite since I could play my favorite Late Childhood/Adolescence PlayStation Cult series on the Go on my vacation times and when I’m dining at a Diner or Cafe etc, but I also enjoy playing the Jak and Daxter trilogy on my PS3 for it’s home console 60 frame rate level quality too, there’s honestly not a lot of Jak and Daxter inspired games I know to even exist out there to be like the Jak and Daxter, but if there were ever a Jak and Daxter game to revive Jak and Daxter, I’d love it if it adopted the Solid Parkour platforming style of Sly Cooper and the Refined 3rd Person Shooter style of Ratchet and Clank altogether, yeah I know that I read a Eurogamer critic’s statement about it’s review about the PS3 HD compilation of the Jak and Daxter trilogy a decade ago back then, but it would be nice if a Jak and Daxter 4th entry or reboot got to add those styles to go along with the open world play style of Jak and Daxter that I honestly still miss very much now that the Jak and Daxter series is 20 years old these days.

      Wow, so they screwed up the controls on the PS2… Why did they change the controls?
      I mean, on the GameCube it was fine. At that point, the only Spyro game for any Nintendo console (not counting portables) was Enter the Dragonfly (I think), which was not a good game, and the GameCube controller has such a unique button layout that any control scheme would’ve differed somewhat from the other games (excluding Enter the Dragonfly). But with the PS2, which uses the DualShock 2 controller that is very similar to the original DualShock controller for the PS1 aside from having analog buttons, you’ve had essentially the same control scheme for the first four games, three of which are all-time classics on PS1 and the fourth was on the same console (PS2), and they decided to change the controls to just confuse everyone?
