Topic: The Spyro series

I loved the Spyro series as a kid. My sister got me into it. However, I was very disappointed by Legend of Spyro: Eternal Night. It was so boring. What happened?

In the PlayStation years, those game were made by Insomniac as one of the most enjoyable and addictive platform game series ever. After that, the series was handed over to Vivendi, which took the series in the wrong direction. That's what happened.

Good thing we still have the originals.

I played the first couple as a kid because my cousin had the PS1. (I had my trusty N64). I never liked them all that much. They just felt soul-less. When you grow up on Super Mario World and Mario 64, you just expect a lot more charm and personality out of your platformers.

These were my first games on a home console, absolutely loved them. Good memories, used to play them with my dad.

Well, you guys already said what I wanted to say. Adios.

I got a PlayStation instead of an N64 because I couldn't figure out the N64 controller (I didn't know what an analog stick was).

Dual shock what.

No Insomniac, no fun. Also, Enter the Dragonfly was so bad, the developer shat down and only developed S:EtD and a RPG based on Alien that was cancelled.

The Spyro games were awesome, but now they suck.
Just Like Crash Bandicoot.

Dual Shock wasn't wasn't at launch. The original had no analogue stick(s).

This

Was Crash Bandicoot ever good?

For me, Spyro got pretty bad in the ps2 era and Crash sucked at Twin Sanity.

All Crash games are awesome.

I loved the spyro game on GBA

Don't listen to his lies!

I liked Spyro 1 and 2 on the Playstation. I was just around the right age for those games when they came out. Also I liked Crash Bandicoot 1 and 2. Crash Team Racing was great but not as good as the Mario Karts it was trying to copy.

I know, I have some of the original controllers. I was just pointing out the irony that he avoided the N64 for its analogue stick, while the PS1 ended up being well-known for its analogue sticks. I hope he knew what analogue sticks were once the Dual Shocks came out, seeing how they ended up being the standard and necessary for many games. Granted, the Dual Shock presents its control scheme in a much friendlier manner than the N64's controller...

Or maybe now he only uses the Wii Remote without a nunchuck or CC because they have analogue sticks.

I honestly think that I'm the only person on site that thinks that the original Spyro game is better than Super Mario 64.

Crash on the PS1 rocks too. Especially the second and third one. The first two GBA games and Wrath of Cortex are great too.

Spyro is kind of like a one hit wonder. After the original it slowly got worse in quality. Same for Crash Bandicoot (Though I loved CTR).
