As a platformer, it falls foul of many of the classic slip-ups some players may be familiar with. Or, for those hard-to-shift enemies, Spyro can unleash a Fury attack, activated by a simple pattern-matching game and making quite a fireworks display in the process.Ĭombat is really the only painless part of Spyro, though. In fact, there are plenty of manners to dispatch the monkeys, slugs and huge dragons you'll meet on your quest – up-front butting and magic is one way, but you can also knock them up into the air and finish them off with a few swishes on the touchscreen. Other gems have differing effects, from boosting health to powering special moves. Using gems collected throughout the game's levels, he can even beef up his array of elemental powers with extra damage or range, making it a little easier to get past the varying enemies. Spyro can jump, use his wings to glide, breathe fire and butt with his horns – and that's before you've upgraded his powers and been granted new ones. Unfortunately, this isn't always intentional though. But that doesn't mean it's a simple platform jumper, as the game has some neat variation in it and at times can be extremely challenging. If you're detecting elements of a Christmas hit with the kids, then you're not far off – Spyro isn't a violent bloodbath or a mind-taxing strategy game.
You're tasked yet again with saving the world, this time from the fittingly-titled Dark Master, who's aiming to resurrect himself.

At the weekends we'd suit up in our stainless steel best, take the good horse out of the garage and ride on down to the local enchanted forest. There was a time when slaying dragons was all the rage.
