the music is shit though

I'm going to choose to beleive that you're saying to to troll me because you're aware that I believe that the first 3 Spyro games have 3 of the best soundtracks in the whole of videogaming.

Genuinely.  No other games come close for me.  Stewart Copeland is a musical genius.

Yeah... no. The soundtrack is minimalistic and doesn't really have catchy tunes. It always feels more like there's some music in the background while it's not integral to the overall experience.

I disagree. Spyro wouldn't be Spyro if it wasn't for the music. 

But as you said, it's that difference I guess. Spyro was the first game I ever played, and it wasn't for another 8 or so years that I played my first Nintendo game (aside from on handhelds, but I never had the sound on for that). So those tunes bring back the nostalgia in a way other games with arguably better soundtracks can. 

 

Something which happened this past summer, infact.
