I actually played through the first half of Spyro 1 recently, it was surprisingly enjoyable (although not as good as the heavy hitters from the N64 like Banjo, Conker, DK64, or Mario 64)
Not bad, really not bad (if you like 3D Platformers)

the music is shit though

You must be having a laugh with that spoiler bit. Crazy.

...maybe it is unfair to compare it to Banjo (which still has one of the very best soundtracks in every game...imo)...and I don´t have any nostalgia for Spyro (in contrast to Banjo)...but meh :/ , I´m sorry but it felt so generic....

I disagree. When you hear the Spyro soundtrack, you knew it was Spyro. That stands to this day. 

The tracks are instantly recognizable and perfectly fit thé game. Thats what you want, right?

Oh, I certainly don´t want to shit on your memories :) ....lets just say that we both grew up with different games

(but I´ll be damned if Treasure Trove Cove isn´t a fantastic piece )

 



Does time ever fly. I remember when we were first introduced to Spyro, and Crash Bandicoot.

Great series. My first GBA game was Season of Ice.

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.

Amazingly fun series back in the day, still makes me sad to see how the series has fallen over the years. Still, I could see it coming back some day, and I still like to give these games a chance whenever they appear, even if it's only just to see how the games have changed.



Hmm

....maybe I missed something :S ? As I said: I only played the first half....or 2/3rds of the first game on the PSP recently... :/ hmmm

I was mostly kidding with the first line, but I do find it a shame that you don't like the soundtrack because the Spyro games genuinely have some of my favourite video game songs of all time.

And hell, I love the Banjo Kazooie soundtrack, but I don't think it holds a candle to Spyro!

I just said that! Stop copying me!

I remember when Spyro was good. Those were the days.
