Poll of the Day > Did anyone grow up with the Spyro trilogy on ps1? Was it any good?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I got it off psn years ago. Tried to play a little but it just didn't feel fun (also I point blank refuse to play games with inverted camera controls that can't be adjusted. I hope they fix that for the port)

I don't know if the ps4 trilogy will be a faithful recreation of the original games, but I'm just wondering what kinda game is Spyro. Is it like banjo kazooie, an open world endless collectathon fest?

I had the original and Spyro 2 on the PS1 and I had the Trilogy for my PS4. Good game if you like platform games.

Only played Spyro 2 if I recall. I enjoyed it so will be buying this trilogy for nostalgia alone.

I only really played the first Spyro extensively as that was the only one we owned. I did get to play 2 at a cousin's house and it was pretty fun.

But the first Spyro kicked ass.

ape escape is easily the best platformer or spyro type game on ps1

What are the games like?

I played through the trilogy often as a kid.

Humoruous platformer with awkward controls that don't really bother you.

Spyro is awesome in the first 4 games it's the 5th game onwards that things start getting a tad mediocre.

did you really feel like you needed to bold that entire sentence

it's also not out yet for the ps4, so i'm really unsure of what you're trying to do here

I loved the original one. I skipped the others for whatever reason.

They were ok, not much difficulty to them

They arent bad games but I think some folks have some pretty strong nostalgia goggles regarding hem

2 and 3 are still pretty good collectionathons. 1 is the weakest.

I think it beats Bajo-Kazooie.

Yeah they were okay, at least the little bits I played while working at Gamestop when no customers were in the store.

I used to have them on PS1, but got rid of that long ago. Have them on PSP now though.

They're simplistic and average yet still fun, with the sort of wide and open levels you'd expect from most toon-like 3D Platformers and Action/Adventures from the PS1 and PS2 eras, but are a bit more colorful by comparison and have an abundance of castle-like structures. There's a small variety of mini-games which provide a break from the usual gameplay, with the third game having the most due to its inclusion of other playable characters.
