This one was awesome. I really enjoyed playing this game. It was simple, but for me that really helps it. If I'm in the mood for a story game but not one that's intense or hard, then this would be my go to because it's simple, fun, and light. You could say it's like a 3D Mario game because you go from world to world battling enemies and doing the same amount of levels before getting to the boss fight with the main villain's minion until you get to him. It's not a rip off, it's just similar. The repetitiveness doesn't affect me because it switches it up a bit with new landscaping, layouts, enemies, and stuff like supercharging to make the game more exciting. I think the worlds in this look beautiful. The design and layouts are amazing and I thought the graphics were top tier. This looks different from the PS1 version because updated graphics and everything, but this is a remaster/remake. The worlds are all creative with the enemies and levels too. I thought the enemies were well thought out because they get harder each world and the weapons they have are imaginative. It's a lot of fun fighting the various enemies and figuring out how to beat them. It gets easy when you figure it out, but it's still fun nonetheless. The characters in the game are also cool. Spyro is a very fun lead for the game and Gnasty Gnorc is a fantastic villain. He is the perfect antagonist for Spyro's first adventure. He's not too hard, but not too easy either. You can't really face him off and be successful unless you play through the game and learn stuff. It's well made and just a lot of fun to play. I only had a couple problems with this game which is great! I thought that the Gnasty Gnorc boss fight was pretty anticlimactic, so when you play through the game it doesn't really have pay off because Gnorc is just like chasing the egg thieves, so the only real redeeming factor is that you beat the main story. I also felt that it could've been executed better. It doesn't necessarily feel as much like a story as much as it is rescue dragons repeatedly. Mario platform games have that story of rescuing the princess and it feels progressive, while this just feels the same as it goes on. Despite those things I had a lot of fun rescuing dragons and battling various enemies going through these fun worlds. I enjoyed the obstacles and layouts to make a fun game. I feel like if they fixed those two things then this would be a top 5 favorite for me. I had so much fun with it and I plan on revisiting it. So excited for the other two in the trilogy!
