AHT is one of my all-time favorite Spyro games. It DOES have easter-eggs from the first three classics, if you look closley enough, but people rarely do that anymore and just look at the big picture.

Also, I just can't see how people hate this game? It looks fine to me. Great graphics, story line, and characters.

It's the opposite, graphics are weak in comparison to Ratchet & Clank, story is non-existent and as for characters... I'm not really sure of that. The game itself is broken with glitches and long loading times and little variety and nothing new.

Like I said, you're WAY too nit-picky. Who cares about Ratchet and Clank? I don't. Personally, I hate it. The characters where FINE and the storyline was well-done, but not perfect. What did you expect for a SPYRO game? All the other good story lines have been made and taken already.

YOUR version or game must've had the glitches and loading problems, MINE was JUST FINE.

You must be really lucky.

Yes, A Hero's Tail is different to the others but wouldn't playing the same thing over and over again get boring eventually? Of course i prefer the original insomniac trilogy but i thought a hero's tail was pretty good.

Every game to me gets boring after playing it a certain amount of times. There's just very few games that I can tolerate playing more than others.

AHT wasn't an original for me. Look at Spyro's face as he walks. He looks sleepy!

If the Spyro reboots were never reboots, here's how the timeline should go:

Skylanders -> A New Beginning -> Eternal Night -> Dawn of the Dragon -> Spyro the Dragon -> Ripto's Rage -> Year of the Dragon -> Season of Ice -> Season of Flame -> A Hero's Tail.

Would you guys agree to this IF one of Spyro's current developers say the reboots are no longer reboots?

I guess, or even better still none of the others ever happened and it were just: Spyro the Dragon -> Gateway to Glimmer -> Year of the Dragon.

Then tell how YOU could please all three sub-fanbases?

What I really disliked about AHT was Sparx talking, Excessive repetitive mini games, Blink (idk why... Just don't like him) and the new gem system. Unlimited gems annoyed me.

it may be the end of regular spyro, but whether it is Spyro is still going and that all that matters

Mine goes:
ANB->STD->GTG->YOD->ETD->AHT->SL->TEN-SOTD->Skylanders.
Happy to give my explanation if you want.

That really doesn't make any sense; Spyro met Evil Cynder in ANB, so what's she doing normal in Skylanders? I guess I can understand TLoS series took place before STD, and STD Spyro is TLoS's son or distant grandson. Imo, the timeline's fine as it is, TLoS and Skylanders being AU, but together.

uh-huh

i agree

Was ETD the end of regular Spyro? Interesting question I must say. I think that it wasn't the end of classic Spyro as many people like to think. But the horrible execution of this game gave the final nail in the coffin of old game system.

As I have heard AHT criticized of lacking portal system and continuity of old charge'n'flame-type of gameplay, one has to admit that ETD destroyed one of those fundamental definitions of original trilogy. ETD killed traditional portal system. It was rushed to the markets with horrible consequences. And the biggest disappointment to me was the portal system's absence. There was only one big home world where you got to talk the people who gave you access to their respective home worlds. But you we're not taken to those places via portal connection. So the traditional black-and-white definition of classic portal system died after YotD.

But in all sincerity ETD was not the end of regular Spyro. Actually the whole classic story was carried all the way through AHT. And gameplay was actually very similar to the classic ones. Just a different charge button and that's that. And AHT's world was not suitable for traditional charge'n'flame-type of gameplay. And I actually liked the whole unlimited gems thing. Brought something new and interesting to the game and it told the story that society's structure was changing in times of peace.

Main thing is the basic philosophy and attitude that you want to use when you ponder this topic's question. In black-and-white-style of thinking ETD is the final "classic" Spyro game. But when you come to think of it. They had to change way of the platformer's because the style that originals represented was not marketable and did not bring enough of profits. Even though AHT wasn't the top-selling game it was still a nice attempt to re-ignite Spyro's flame. It basically is quite loyal to the whole classic universe and had gameplay in which was very easy to adapt even if one had played originals. Bottom line is that ETD wasn't the end of regular Spyro.

The Spyro series is ****ed up

I agree with you, and I personally would play AHT over ETD, anyday. It's far more enjoyable in my eyes.
