Game Overview

Spyro must save the Dragon Realms from an evil dragon who has planted life-sapping dark gems all over the Dragon Realms, in an attempt to capture and control the world. With the help of his allies, Spyro must seek out and destroy all of the Dark Gems to return the lands back to normal and to save the Dragon Realms from the evil dragon's tyrannical control. Full of brand new dragon powers, abilities, gadgets, and environments, plus five fully playable characters, A Hero's Tail is the greatest Spyro adventure yet.

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.

Perfect for younger gamers. Kids will love the cheerful colors, and all the cutesy characters like butterflies, sheep and fairies. Even the baddies look cute.

A definite improvement over "Enter the Dragonfly." It's a solid, albeit simple and slightly unimaginative platformer.
