This was the Spyro game I played the most as a kid, but as an adult I definitely prefer Spyro 2. There's more content here, but it's a lot more repetitive and the new characters are pretty boring (though it is interesting to see some proto-Ratchet & Clank gameplay in Agent 9's levels). As a result, the game feels a bit bloated, especially if you're trying to 117% it. It's still not bad overall, but a little underwhelming after the previous game that had so much more design ingenuity.
