Year of the Dragon has all the elements to make it the very best spyro game. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that pile up to hold it back.
Spyro's friends are just straight not as fun to play as him (especially Sgt Byrd). A lot of minigames in levels have weird balancing issues where they're either way too easy or brutally unfair. The speedways all have a race tacked onto to them now. And they are mind numbingly boring.
All of this brings down what's otherwise, a stellar spyro experience. Honestly, if you cut out the fluff here, you basically have a spyro game that's on par with 2.
Oh, and there are loads of bugs in the reignited version that make getting all the achievements a bit of a pain.
Again, Spyro 3 is great but it's all the constant little things that make it worse than it should be. Getting your gems back from Moneybags is still a peak gaming moment.
