Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
12 years ago
General
I know I'm late on this considering the game is like, 7 years old. But I just got done playing it for the first time.
So I recentl got a playstation 2 after spending months contemplating the upgrade from my good old ps1. I started out with 2 games for it, one of them being The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. I was excited, having played through the original spyro trilogy and fucking loved everything about it. I figured this would be similar but with better graphics. Well, the graphics are awesome!! But the gameplay was way different. Not all of it was bad, the combat was fun. But that's like....all there is to do in the whole game.
There was no treasure to collect, other than the gems to heal yourself and stuff. There was hardly any puzzle-solving or secret-discovering. It was very linear and it was basically just, walk through a set path, kill wave after wave of bad guys, and that's it. You learn a new elemental attack after each level and get trained how to use them. I figured after learning all of those there would be a whole world ahead of me to collect things and use my new moves. But nah....once I learned all of them there was the final level and it was over!!! I'm pretty disappointed in this game, it had the potential to be really neat with the sweet graphics and combat but it was just too easy, repetitive and linear. It took about 7hours of gameplay.
Oh well, there are tons more games out there. I already ordered a Ratchet and Clank game and it should be arriving in the mail soon :) I also intend to play Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly as I'm pretty sure it's a lot more similar to the original ones. If anyone has any ps2 game recommendations just let me know :D

And i remember, the ps2 game kinda sucked ass
ratchet & clank 1-3 is one of my favorite series. the gameplay mechanics are quite enjoyable and even though I don't care for the commando motif of the second and third games they all have super beautiful environments. beautiful and strange settings are usually more important to me than the games themselves. I like touring dreamy trippy landscapes. but it's always nice when they're part of game that's fun to play too. when I finally got R&C3, like 4 years after it came out, I played it, then immediately had to play through the first two again and then the third one again.
oh, I didn't want to overload my previous post with suggestions, but one more can't hurt: the sly cooper series. awesome beautiful games that just get better and better. not trippy in the usual sense, but as cartoons are inherently trippy i'll mention that when I played the demo of sly cooper a thousand years ago it was the first game that I'd ever felt like I was really playing a cartoon. of course things have only gotten more fluid since then, but still. anyway, have fun there
