Spyro's newly expanded roster doesn't manage to save A Hero's Tail from monotony, and even the title's targeted younger demographic will probably soon tire of the game's reliance on boring collectible gathering.

A solid adventure game with some very nice improvements over its predecessor. However, the low difficulty level may turn off gamers looking for a challenge.

The inclusion of new characters, new attacks and a ton of collectibles will keep collector-nuts playing for at least 15 hours. In the end, A Heroe's Tail is a definite improvement over "Enter the Dragonfly."
