The first hour of this game is the most agonizing hour of your life. Then you get a charge upgrade and your brain adjusts to the horrible jittery scrolling and it becomes kinda fun. The production values are about on par with a movie tie-in game of the time.
Having grinded out a near perfect run of the endgame, the last four stages of the game that you have to redo when you die, the success of my run was still down to luck of the health pickups. This alone makes the game kind of bullshit. I played the Jp version with a new english TL hack. When it wasn't the final stretch, I actually quite enjoyed this game.
While this is an improvement over the previous Spyro game, the game still struggles to be any fun. I felt like Spyro was my day job and I had to meet the collectable quota. I didn't think there was anything noteworthy.
