Do you think I should go back and try some of the old Spyro games? If so witch one/s? Why or Why not? (I have only played the LoS Triligy [aNB, tEN, and DotD], thats why I'm wondering).

Yes, play the classics! They are the first Spyro games after all.
But I don't think they'll be around for sale much longer, so you better be quick about if you want to buy them. |

I think certainly you should go back to the older games and play them. Definitly play the original trilogy! they are simply wonderful. I personally love EtD so I say you try it out. It takes a special liking toward the game though!
If you plan on spending money on this I say go for the original three first which you're probably more likly to enjoy.

Get Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, that's the best one in my opinion, the best one for levels, Tom Kenny is at his best, I just like everything in that game, but Spyro 1 comes close. Spyro 3 was a bit difficult for me the first time round, but overall all three are good fun games.

Definately the original trilogy, but you could skip EtD and AHT. Those are buggy, failed attempts to continue the original spyro series, in my opinion. If you did play those, it would be out of respect (or wanting to be able to say you played every spyro game, like me).
A lot changed from game to game in the trilogy, especially from StD to RR in terms of the game's depth. All of them are very different from the Legend series, both good, but two completely different purposes. You may not like them at first, but keep playing. I find they're better once your mind stops comparing them to the newer games. I think the only place to get the ps1 games is ebay, unless you have some kind of specialty store near you that sells old games. You could try a ps1 emulator such as ePSXe on your computer if you don't want to have to buy the games, although i am not sure on the legality of this . And one more thing - Don't leave a gem unfound!!!

I think to really appreciate EVERYTHING in the PlayStation Spyro games is to have played them in your childhood. The feeling of nostalgia just makes the game all the more special.

Yeah, Spyro was epic before they threw him in a meat grinder.
They overcomplicated everything, crapped out lame efforts, and just put him in a tailspin. |

Well, can't see how you wouldn't. Note the only Spyro games that averaged 8/9 on everything from reviewers were the first 3.

I hate to use the same quote so many times, this would make the third time I've used it, but it is still valid, nonetheless.
I think we all enjoy the days when Spyro had 99 problems and a ***** wasn't one of them. |

Try the first three made by Insomniac if you want to get the true experience of the series. They're the only ones in the series that I really care for. Season of Ice and Flame for game boy advance were pretty fun too.
I'm pretty picky about my games and most modern games just don't seem to cut it for me. They seem to me like lame rollercoaster rides.

First play STD, then GTG, then YotD in that order.
However, I must warn you that the atmosphere is the opposite of TLOS. Play AHT and ETD at your own risk. I personally liked ETD, but you will more than likely hate it due to the faults it has. You may ether find the glitches annoying or fun. I found them fun and I got used to the certain glitchy areas in the game. AHT, although good, it's hardly like the first three at all. The character designs are horrible and they screwed around with every single returning character both, personality and design wise. Only Zoe and the Professor survived the changes.

In my opinion, you can play the first three in any order, it doesn't matter, the storyline isn't much of a big deal, I started with the second, then the first, then the third. Well really if you want to include 'other' Spyro games, it went to the demo of the first one, demo of the second one, the full version of the second one, randomly played ETD and suddenly went back to playing the second one again (LOL) then I got one and the third both together in a store later on.
The atmoshphere is a lot more brigher and colourful, and there really isn't much darkness at all, you may get a bit now and then in a boss battle. AHT is the most unusual one out of the bunch, it's kind of like the original three, but they've changed minor things, the things that people have said about it changing so much is just them making a big deal out of it, it's not all THAT different from the first three. In my opinion, I'm starting to think that Spyro has the cutest design in AHT, and his voice equally as good as Tom Kenny and Carlos, no matter how the fans seem to make them sound so bad. Well apart from Tom Kenny, I suppose in a way people like to over-rate him a bit, probably because he voices Spongebob and that means he must be the best there ever was, yes that was a bit of sarcasm there. In the end, it's a matter of opinion whether you enjoy a particular Spyro game. |

No1, STD is just awesome... worth anyones time even if its just to see the first adventure of our little purple friend, with dynamic and lush ye olde PS1 graphics and enjoyable boss fights, i cant even think of anything annoying..
No2, GTG is a brilliant follow on and advancement with the introduction of the mini tasks and even the development of learning skills is satisfying, mini tasks are enjoyable and innovative and again enjoyable boss fights, again nothing too annoying.. No3, YotD is an enjoyable fully rounded third installment that brings colour and character, however, some of the minigames are infuriating... but not bad enough to warrant neglect and yet again enjoyable boss fights. all three have fantastic flight levels that i spend hours on and thoroughly enjoy. nothing beats the excitement of exploring these games either for the first time or for the first time in a long time, the joy of completetion and sucess is never forgotten and they are well worth the effort! and this is coming from someone who knows the maps backwards, pretty well knows the scripts and has probably played them far far too much! enjoy!

The atmosphere, the character design style, the lack of portals and the music is enough to make me feel like I'm playing a different game. I honestly hated Spyro in AHT. I hated his design and he acted like an ignorant, cocky teenage jerk.

The atmosphere and the music felt fine to me, and I thought the character design had improved, I thought they were detailed more than in the PS Spyro games. I can understand the lack of portals though, I do start to miss them halfway through the game, it's kind of annoying when Spyro randomly goes into a different area, but it's not much of a big deal for me. Spyro is supposed to be cocky. But he doesn't really act like a teenager in my opinion. |
