As someone who was more used to modern 3D game controls, it took me some time to gain a grasp of that. However, the camera is situated behind Spyro’s head rather in front of his head as the more modern 3D games have done.

You could also look into the first person(ish) perspective by holding the triangle button. By that, I mean you could move your character with the joystick and use shoulder buttons to move the camera around. This is one of the earliest games where 3D controls are introduced which became the staple of all 3D games today. In addition, each realm also has a boss which can pose a challenge to the player. In each of the realms, there is a level where you can control Spyro as he flies and you have to hit all of the obstacles in order to complete the flight levels. Each realm has different levels for Spyro to traverse through and rescue the dragons as well as collecting stolen gems and eggs (which the eggs are held by those nasty blue thieves). This adventure takes Spyro through all 5 different realms before going to Ghastly’s world to settle the score. As the small purple dragon with attitude, you have to traverse through all 5 realms to save all of your fellow dragons and defeat Gnasty once and for all. That is, until Gnasty Gnorc imprison all of the dragons into their crystal forms except for our main hero Spyro. Spyro the Dragon takes place in the mythical Dragon Kingdom where dragons exist in harmony. As the result, the kids yet again have another 3D classic gem for the Playstation library. Insomniac Games (the guys behind Rachet and Clank series) managed to rise to the occasion. Around the time this game was made, all of the other hits were appealing to the older audience (with the exception of Crash Bandicoot) like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, etc., so it was about time that the kiddies back in the day could have another game to play with. 14 years later, I managed to get this game at the PSN store and I had the pleasure playing this game again!Īs it turns out, Spyro the Dragon was made to appeal to the younger audience so that Sony could broaden its audience. I remember the good times I had from roasting sheep to well-done and ramming those nasty green bad guys to grab different colored gems. I also saw the commercials for the game which made me drawn to the game even more.

I was drawn to this game because of the fact that you could play as a dragon. This was an another game that I remembered playing at my aunt’s house years ago during the glorious PSOne years.
