I remember Spyro 2 disappointing me for being such a step down from the first, but playing this made me appreciate 2 a bit more. You can really tell they were running out of ideas for a Spyro game, what else would compel them to program 5 alternate characters that are all boring as shit to play. The music is also like surprisingly annoying, Stewart Copeland also susceptible to the burnout. Not sure what else to expect when they had less than a year to crank this out, though.
