Item Description

Spyro: A Hero’s Tail was the purple dragon’s last home-console adventure in the original continuity, and Eurocom built it to put the series back on solid footing after a rocky previous entry. The trouble this time comes from Red, a former Dragon Elder banished from the Dragon Realms, who has seeded the land with Dark Gems. Each one corrupts the countryside around it with monsters and poisonous plants while siphoning its life to power Red, so smashing them is the heart of the adventure, and watching flowers bloom and broken bridges rebuild themselves as each gem shatters is a satisfying reward.

Spyro has more moves than ever. Alongside his flame breath he can buy Ice and Electricity from Moneybags, as in earlier games, plus a brand-new Water breath, and each one solves its own puzzles and handles its own enemies, such as the crabs that only fall to a jolt of electricity. Elder Dragons teach him new skills along the way, including ledge grabs, wall kicks, a horn dive from the air and a lasso-like tail swing. Light Gems open sealed doors and power gadgets, Dragon Eggs unlock minigames and concept art, and the regular colored gems keep Moneybags in business.

Spyro’s friends get playable sections of their own, which keeps the pace varied. Hunter the Cheetah shoots fire arrows and uses his long legs for big jumps, Sgt. Byrd the penguin flies timed missile-and-bomb missions, Sparx the dragonfly stars in on-rails shooting runs, and newcomer Blink the Mole burrows and climbs into places Spyro cannot reach, armed with lasers and explosives. Gnasty Gnorc, the villain from the very first Spyro, even returns for a three-part boss fight.

Critics found it easy and collection-heavy, but they also called it a big step up from Enter the Dragonfly, praising its visuals and responsive controls. That makes it a warm, gentle 3D platformer for younger players and a fitting final chapter for fans who followed Spyro from the PlayStation days, closing out the classic series on the GameCube before the dragon’s Legend-era reboot.

About the game

Spyro: A Hero's Tail is the fifth console game in the original Spyro series and the ninth game in the series in all. Developed by Eurocom, it was the first game in the series for the Xbox, as well as the second game in the series for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube (with the former console release being the only one of the three to support widescreen). It is also the final installment in the original Spyro continuity for home consoles. This is also the first and only Spyro game to be completely produced in Europe. The game introduces a new antagonist, Red, a former Dragon Elder banished years before the events of the game, and sees the protagonist, Spyro the Dragon, attempt to defeat him with the aid of his best friend Sparx, Hunter the Cheetah, flying penguin Sgt. Byrd, and mole Blink, who are all playable.
