Considered one of the best games in the series... But not for me, the game isn't bad, even in certain parts I prefer it more than the first Spyro, but I don't know, after playing Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (which for me is the best of the trilogy), I thought this game was just good, like the stages are shorter,
but strangely you don't have much of a challenge which bothers me after playing the second title which always had an objective to be achieved, they came back with some things from the first game like going after the animals that steal eggs and that run faster than Sonic and chests that need a key to be opened,
the speedway stages didn't change much, but they added races that at first I thought was meh, but after understanding I really liked it and I'll miss it when I replay Spyro 2, the stages vary in quality, some are good, others are so meh that they almost take my mind off desire to play (like the infamous Lost Fleet),
And another criticism I give about the stages is that almost none of them have a varied theme, like the game has two snow stages, one good and the other just ok, are there different challenges for each one? There is, but I found it a bit lazy on the part of the developers, I think what makes this game the "best of the trilogy" is the possibility of you playing with other characters,
which is cool in idea, but in execution it's basically minigames in disguise, there's nothing special about it, I thought Sheila was ok, I really liked the little bird (which looks more like a penguin), I thought Sulley with the stick was cool and I hated the monkey, and the bosses are an improvement compared to the second game, being more challenging, but I hated the last boss,
I thought it was simply HORRIBLE to fight with him, I almost wanted to play cheat to defeat this disgrace straight away, but I would only cause damage if I used weapons that cause damage and these weapons are horrible to shoot at him, it seems that I'm more lucky, it made me miss him from Grunty from Banjo Kazooie (or even Ripto from the second game).
And this was the only game in the trilogy that I didn't do 100%, I didn't feel like doing it.
