You will also get the opportunity to play as Sparx the Dragonfly and Hunter the Cheetah. Byrd, Bentley the Yeti, and Agent 9, a space monkey. Year of the Dragon introduces new playable characters that will help Spyro on his journey. Obviously Spyro’s goal is to retrieve all the eggs but he won’t be doing it alone. She wants to use the wings to grant herself immortality. As time passed, the magic in the worlds started to dwindle so the Sorceress hatched the plan to steal the dragon eggs so she could harvest the wings of the baby dragons. The Forgotten Realms were once inhabited by dragons but they were banished by the Sorceress after she had an argument with a Dragon Elder, making her the queen of the land. During the most recent event a rabbit named Bianca invades the Dragon Realms, steals the eggs, and brings them back to the Forgotten Realms where an evil Sorceress spreads them across several worlds and levels. I played it on an Xbox One X.Įvery twelve years, new dragon eggs are brought to the Dragon Realms and this event is known as “Year of the Dragon”.
For this review, I played the Reignited version which is part of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November, 2018. Developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, Spyro: Year of the Dragon was released for the PlayStation in October, 2000. I played the shit out of that game so, naturally, I was excited to get my hands on the sequel, Spyro: Year of the Dragon, which I received as a gift sometime after it released. Spyro the Dragon is what got me into 3D platformers but Spyro 2 is what really grabbed me.
I’ve always leaned more towards the Spyro games because of their open-ended design and they are my favorite platformers on the PlayStation with Crash Bandicoot: Warped trailing right behind them. The Spyro and Crash Bandicoot games for the original PlayStation are some of the best platformers on the system.
