Spyro the Dragon is a platformer and the first of three games for the franchise on the Sony PlayStation.
+ Gives you tons of freedom and there's always several levels open if you've finished exploring the world's main hub.
+ Game's collect-a-thon nature is highly addictive, and thankfully save points are plentiful to bank your current totals.
+ Optional challenge areas resemble Pilotwings (1991, SNES) and offer up some fun flight-based objectives against the clock.
+ Draw distance is superb and the game hides loading screens in a way that's as seamless as possible given CD limitations.
- Controls can often feel too slippery, (especially when using the Supercharge dash) and the bosses are a complete pushover.
- Music is thematically appropriate, but the tracks are generic and do nothing to enhance the worlds they're wrapped around.
