Spyro: Year of the Dragon

The third game in the Spyro series, and the last to be made by Insomniac Games. Spyro: Year of the Dragon is the biggest of all the Spyro games so far made. It incorporates several new playable characters as well as a new evil to fight.

In this game you play mainly as Spyro, but there are certain levels and parts of levels where you can only play as a different character. The playable characters in this game are: Spyro, Sparx, Hunter, Sheila the Kangaroo, Sgt. James Byrd, Bently the Yeti and Agent 9.

The Story

Every twelve years, the Dragon Kingdom celebrates its most important event: the "Year of the Dragon" Festival. Fairies deliver a new batch of dragon eggs and dragons come from all around to dance and feast until everyone drops from...eggshaustion.

The Year of the Dragon is upon us again and the fairies have brought 150 eggs to the Dragon Worlds. However, unbeknownst to the celebrating dragons, a sinister plot is about to unfold...

Far away - on the opposite side of the world - lies a kingdom long since forgotten by dragonkind. So forgotten, in fact, that even the legends about these "Forgotten Worlds" have now been forgotten.

This kingdom is ruled by a mean and spiteful Sorceress who has frankly become quite fed up with being forgotten. As she sits on her forgotten throne, the Sorceress has hatched a fiendishly evil plan. A plan to restore the fading magic to her forgotten realm. A plan to conquer the dragons once and for all. All she needs is a little help from her army of horn-nosed 'rhynocs', the cooperation of her mysterious disciple Bianca and of course, those 150 magical dragon eggs.

The Controls

Gems are strangely identical to the last game. Strangely because Avalar and The Forgotten Worlds are most likely further away from each other then the Dragon Realms is from the Forgotten Worlds. Strange how they have the Avalar set of gems rather than the Dragon Realms set, maybe the Sorceress had the GemCutters in from Avalar though.

The same containers for the gems as in Avalar. However here you get gems from killing the Rhynocs whereas in Avalar they released a Spirit Particle. Also this game sees the return of a locked chest, slightly different in appearence from the first game, but you will still need to find a key to open them.

Anyway, on with the walkthrough, and on to Sunrise Spring!

I should download them too, my PS1 copies are pretty glitchy, since I've had them so long. They all have their own little glitches!
Spyro 1: Music in most of the levels glitch then just go completely.
Spyro 2: Cutscenes are silent.
Spyro 3: NPCs Voices glitch up.

I want to download the first three on the PS3 from the network, but I highly doubt my Dad will let me, it's really annoying, I hope Sony can keep them on there for a good few years to come, so I can just get my own credit card and buy them myself.

I love this game. I downloaded it from the Playstation Network (Store) on my PS3.

#1752 SuperSpyroFan 13:35:08 03/03/2013

@TorchSheep: Yeah, he's my favourite too.

#1751 TorchSheep 21:49:53 02/03/2013

Agent 9 was probably my least favorite of the new characters. I liked Sgt. Byrd the best.

#1750 Jaggedstar 05:46:57 25/02/2013

@jessieJames Yeah, he's in Adventure.

#1749 Jessejames1560 01:58:08 25/02/2013

Do they ever bring Agent 9 back in any other spyro games?

#1748 TorchSheep 10:23:09 21/02/2013

#1747 Jaggedstar 00:17:23 20/02/2013

#1746 Blackhawk 23:13:05 19/02/2013

i wanna play this game again it awsome

#1745 SuperSpyroFan 09:57:22 14/02/2013

@spyrothe111: Nope, that's Sony for you. I think the 60GB of the original PS3 can play SOME PS games, which is the one I have, but it kind of lags with the controller for some reason, and the graphics seem to look worse on there, lol.

#1744 spyrothe111 22:11:31 13/02/2013

Oh...
I thought the PS3 was backwards compatible with PS1 games...
Oh well.

Thanks for telling me.

Ironic how this never came out in Japan

#1742 SuperSpyroFan 08:56:58 11/02/2013

@spyrothe11: That means if you want to play the Spyro games on the PS, you'll definitely have to buy them from the Network, I highly doubt that a PS game would work on a new PS3.

#1741 spyrothe111 23:07:01 10/02/2013

I decided to get a Playstation 3 soon.
