![]() Spyro controls perfectly, as he has in other games. Here's where the game goes a little south. Some returning themes and musical styles are nice, and the voice over work is decent as always. The music is great and whimsical as always. The animation is also a bit "wonky" at times. The light-hearted style is nice to look at, but even for the Playstation, the models were a bit over-blocky, and there's a lot of texture warping and shifting and popping which drove me nuts. There has been essentially no upgrade over the previous two games in terms of graphics. First of all, a break-down: Graphics: 7 out of 10. And it was a fun, nostalgic, but underwhelming experience. A few days ago, I finally started this third game, intent on finishing up the original trilogy. (Though never quite up to par with other classics like "Super Mario 64.") Tragically, I never got to play the third game until recently, when as a 24-year-old, I downloaded the three games on my PS3 for nostalgia's sake. They were great examples of 3D platformers done right. I was 10 when the original game came out, and I played it and its first sequel several times when I was a child and young teen. I grew up with "Spyro." The original trilogy, before the hit-and-miss sequels and the needless, underwhelming "Legend" reboots which almost ruined the franchise.
