Hero's Tails Demo Differences [CLOSED]

So I got myself a Spyro: Hero's Tail demo yesterday. It's interesting to see how much is different with it, even though it's rather close to the final build. For reference, here's what I've found so far;

-The opening cutscene is the same, albeit there's a weird graphical glitch as the gnorc is placing the dark gems.
-No talking with the Professor.
-The music to Dragon Village and Dragonfly Falls are completely different.
-The characters who do interact (Moneybags, Elder Tomas, Spyro, Hunter) have full voice acting clips seen in the final build.
-You need 500 gems to get into the shop and buy a lockpick.
-Icons for items are different (the key is an ordinary key, the extra hit is a normal health symbol, the fire bomb looks like it came out of the 80s).
-The geography of the place is completely different (the crocovile swamp path is a dead end with a light gen here, and the dragon egg path for Hunter is made slightly harder by an extended section of hallway after getting the dragon egg.
-Elder Tomas is located where Ember is in the final game, which skips out the whole cave path thing.
-Spyro can't double jump or glide until Elder Tomas teaches him the horn dive.


Not gone through it all yet, so there could still be some differences to find.

Edit: -Spyro's charge works slightly differently.
-Hunter can destroy stomp boxes with a flying kick instead.
-Hunter retrieves a normal fire bomb instead of his own fire arrows.
-The small animals in Hunter's level seem different.
-The light gem path for Hunter is much shorter.
-Sgt Byrd's level also has different music.
-It's the final one in the lava place, oddly enough. The time limit has been extended here to accomodate the ease of the other levels.
-Blink the Mole is called Blinky in the demo.
-The promo material still uses stock art from prevoius Spyro games, not his AHT art.

Where'd you get the demo from? I didn't know they released one! But those are some cool differences.

I got a question for you. Were you that person who paid like $53 for that Spyro A Hero's Tail and Crash Twinsanity demo on Ebay like last week? I wanted to bid on it but I am saving my money for the new Skylanders. Anyways can you make a video of the differences? I find these incredibly interesting and I think making a video of this would be a great idea.

I've been wondering for some time about if there were any differences between the E3 Demo of Spyro: A Hero's Tail and the final product. For some reason, people haven't posted it on Youtube. (Or, it's possible that I just that I can't find a video of it.) Every time I see a video regarding the two demos on this disc (Crash Twinsanity and Spyro: A Hero's Tail), people seem to rather show off the Crash Twinsanity portion of the demo, and not the Spyro: A Hero's Tail portion of the demo. Thank you, Burning Gnorc, for posting the differences! smilie

Hm, interesting. I've been considering buying a rare AHT demo from someone for a while now. Perhaps I should get in touch with them.
