 Spyro Enter the Dragonfly, is it worth it? November 14, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Spyro Enter the dragonfly the forth edition of the Spyro series (on major consoles), but is it all that good?
Spyro Enter the dragonfly or Spyro 4
debut in 2004 on PS2 and Game Cube as the sequel to Spyro 3 Year of the dragon. In this game Spyro's top foe Ripto and his henchmen Crush and Gulp return to take the dragonflies, the sours of the dragon's power, then with the dragons powerless he could take over the Dragon Realms. For troughs that have played Spyro 2 Gateway to Glimer/Ripto's Rage, Ripto did die sinking in laver and Crush and Gulp were also defeated, but hay, it's a game, anything can happen.
Spyro 4 is good enough for me, it's simple yet fun and challenging, the graphics are better than before, smooth edges on things e.g. Faces and you'll be stunned by the water (so realistic).You may notice some bad graphics like Ripto and Moneybags mouths, Ripto's is to wide an Moneybag's moves at the wrong time, this is due to technical problems and because it was made quickly for the holidays, if you are like me and are not mad about graphics it shouldn't matter, anyway there aren't to many bad ones. Unlike in previous games, witch was set around 3 or more home worlds or hubs and about 6 realms. In Spyro 4 there is only 1 very large hub with 9 large realms, containing speedways, vehicle rounds and challenges, but I won't tell you the names of the realms, that up to you to find out! You use flame breath and 3 new breaths, Ice, Electric and Bubble breath, the last one `bubble breath', is used to catch dragonflies. There are many more new abilities, vehicles and missions to explore.
To concluded, it's not perfect but yes it is worth it!
 extremely disappointed by the ending October 12, 2006

I don't know about everybody else, but when I play a game, i like to feel rewarded at the end for my hard work. With the other spyro games, you got an extra secret level to play at the end. At end of Enter the Dragonfly, you get nothing. I felt so screwed at the end. I feel like other gamers were right, this game feels unfinished and totally lacked any creativity. A total disappointment. I wish I'd never finished it.
Ehhhhh...no. September 18, 2006
I didn't even buy this game, I rented it from my friend. Let me say it plain, after Insomniac sold the rights to Spyro, it's over. Just, no. Ripto fell in lava. He DIED. That means, he shouldn't be in the dragon realms. Secondly, after a certain number of games, you just have to accept it and let it go. Vivendi Universal can only regurgitate this "Go through portals and collect all of the [insert something here]"
When I was eight I got hooked on Spyro 1, playing the same level over and over in the playstation store. My first game for my PS1 was Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Insomniac, I bow down to you forever for our three Spyro games.
Right, back to Dragonfly whatever. To tell you the truth, I couldn't even play the first level. I got too disgusted, and the controlling made me feel I was walking through sludge. It was really...not good. So I don't recommend buying this game, whether you are an Insomniac Spyro Fan or not. If you are, this will make you want to cry. If you aren't, you'll get frustrated, and get the wrong idea about Spyro.
 Not as good as the others, but still playable... August 28, 2006
As a BIG Spyro fan I was VERY disappointed in this game. I like that you get more functions and it's nice to have new worlds to conquer, but the action is slow and it takes quite a bit of getting used to. (I keep falling off cliffs because he doesn't stop as fast as he used to!) Overall I think it's a fun game and I will complete it...if for no other reason than because I'm stubborn, but if you're not a really big fan of Spyro you might not want to waste your money on this game.
Stick with the PS1 games July 19, 2006

(I can't tell you how many times i've had to edit this review)
This game has killed the spyro series. Let me tell you why:
STORY:
Recycled from the last 3 games. Ripto is alive for reasons unexplained, and he wants the dragonflies. He scatters them across the land, and Spyro must find them.
MUSIC:
The best part of the game. The music is, as always, done by Stewart Copeland of the Police. The music in Spyro games has always been good.
CONTROLS:
Here's where things get nasty. The controls in this game are god awful. Spyro's movement is clunky. The gliding is the worst part. Don't be surprised if Spyro slides off an edge that was a clear landing and falls to his death. Sometimes Spyro will headbutt instead of hover, sending him plummeting to his death. The Gamecube version is even worse.
GRAPHICS:
Ick. The PS1 Spyro games had better graphics! They just ripped the characters from old Spyro games and gave them awful shades. In the first 3 Spyro games, the backgrounds were cool and gave you an idea of the area you were in. The backgrounds this time are boring. There's no mountains, hills, water or anything in the background. Hell, there aren't even clouds! It usually consists of one or two colors.
GAMEPLAY:
Tedious is the first word that comes to my mind. Yes, i've beat this before, and i'm not proud. First, there's the painfully slow loading times. When you traverse from one level to another, you might want to grab something to drink, because you'll be waiting a while. You get three types of breath: fire, ice, spark, and bubble. The last one is used for catching dragonflies. Catching them is tedious work. the booklet says they are shy, yet they taunt you when you chase them. Your bubbles go through them a lot. Which brings me to my next point: collision detection. That's something this game lacks. On the eighth level, the swinging pendulums seem to have giant invisible boxes around them. Your breath won't even touch enemies but still kill them. The minigames are all old games that have been seen before. Instead of 3 or 4 hubs and about 30 levels, you only get 1 hub and 9 levels. But perhaps the biggest mishap is the heaping pile of glitches this game has. The music constantly skips, the slowdown is awful, and sound affects will carry on. Sometimes Spyro will automatically talk to someone without your control. Don't be surprised if the game freezes during this. Sometimes characters will forget to give you dragonflies, which are crucial to beating this game. You'll no doubt go through at least 1 wall while playing this game. The slide on level seven is the easiest place to do this. I even fell through a bottomless pit and into a dark area on level 6. The game sometimes will forget to draw the ground and you'll walk around on nothing until you die or exit the level.
REPLAY:
Other than glitch searching, why play this game again?
OVERALL:
Avoid this and get the PS1 Spyro games, as they are much better.
