Even then, you canвЂ™t shake that itвЂ™s stuck in the past. The latest title is by far the best, injecting a host of colourful characters, harder enemies, puzzles and some challenging platforming into the mix. Spyro 2 does improve upon base gameplay, and Year of the Dragon beyond that, weвЂ™re not talking huge advancements here. ThereвЂ™s not a lot to do in Spyro the Dragon, and unless youвЂ™re really into collecting objects or a die-hard Spyro fan getting off on the nostalgia, youвЂ™ll want to move on rather quickly. You can see how the franchiseвЂ™s titles were influenced вЂ“ and in turn, influenced вЂ“ the likes of fellow early 3D titles like Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, but weвЂ™ve very much progressed leaps and bounds past than the gameplay that Spyro offers. Apart from the hilariously unique set of personalities attached to the dragons youвЂ™re tasked to rescue, things are very much a case of rinsing and repeating. With the ability to dash, jump, glide and breathe fire, Spyro runs through open, empty levels and taking out unchallenging opponents as he collects gems, eggs and saves fellow dragons. Even jazzed up for today, environments are barren and boring and gameplay sadly matches. ItвЂ™s not that the original Spyro The Dragon is a bad game, itвЂ™s just a simplistic, early 3D title thatвЂ™s sadly dated.

Because of this, SpyroвЂ™s flaws come into full view. Sane Trilogy took improvements made in later games and injected them into its older ones, Reignited Trilogy doesnвЂ™t вЂ“ apart from modern day camera, the games play as they originally did. SpyroвЂ™s original voice actor, Tom Kenny, returns as the hero, and the trilogyвЂ™s original composer, Stewart Copeland, also returns to liven up its soundtrack. Sane Trilogy, audio and visuals have been given a modern day facelift, making everything look gorgeous and new. IвЂ™m not reliving my past as I play instead, IвЂ™m slogging through a relatively boring set of early 3D games.ДЇronted by Toys for Bob, the same team behind SpyroвЂ™s Skylanders adventures, Reiginited Trilogy remasters and repackages Spyro the Dragon (1998), Spryo 2: RiptoвЂ™s Rage (1999) and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000).

Minus his (drastically departed) role in Skylanders, this is my first foray into Spyro and his world of dragons, and thatвЂ™s what lessens the impact.

IвЂ™m not (necessarily) #TeamCrash or anything, IвЂ™m just someone who missed out on Insomniac GamesвЂ™ late 90s trilogy. It didnвЂ™t light a fire under me, but then again, IвЂ™m not its target audience. Spyro Reignited Trilogy is out today, another title looking to capitalise on nostalgia.
