Spyro: A Hero's Tail

This game is laser awesome it is the 9th Spyro game in the series. You start out in the Dragon Village where Spyro and the Professor live-he tells you about Red the Dragon(the bad guy) who has been fueling his evil power by planting dark gems all over the Dragon Realms (each Realm has different levels) and you as Spyro (and a bunch of other guys) have to go and find them and smash them. You also have to gather light gems to open up secret areas and power the Professor's gadgets. Then the adventure starts.

So far I think the funnest parts are level three in the first realm Dragon Village(which you can only get to if you have eight light gems) but you have to get there soon because it is a vital part of the game. Level 3 is called Dragonfly Falls. It is sooooo much fun because you can play as Spyro but then each character in that level has a mini game in which you can play as those characters. You can be Hunter the Cheetah (he can use kung fuuuuuuu AND he has a bow and arrow) and Sparx(the dragon fly) who has a laser blaster. Both characters are played in a jungle which I just love because it is filled with secret stuff and there is a secret door near the beginning but you can not get to it and open it unless you have 70 light gems of power. You can not gather this many gems in the one level you have to go back into the level once you have acquired other powers that help you gain access to other areas in the jungle and waterfalls.

The next part that I love is in the second realm Coastal Remains, on the second level Cloudy Domain. It is way up high in the clouds (no you don't have to do anything hard to get to it there is a big fan that takes you there). Once you are there you will find a lot of platforms you have to jump on to get to the end. There is a guy called a Dragon Elder they are these really old dragons that teach you new powers. I have met three Elders so far Thomas, Margess,and Titan (he is the oldest). They each tell you a new thing about Red the Dragon. The cool music in this stage is a bonus too.

The hardest part so far is probably the part I'm at now cause there is a lot of platform jumping. It is in the Coastal Remains and it is called Sunken Ruins. There are so many platforms and ruins that I get confused as to which way to go once I am in the middle.

So far this game is pretty wonderful and it's not that hard if your trying to decide what Spyro game to get you just have to use your brain every now and then. And the boss stages are not too hard-one dude I just had to ram him in the 'gnarly butt' a couple of times with my giant horns!!

So far I recommend Spyro: a Hero's Tale .
