The story's centered around a littie guy named Spyro, who must save his dragon kin from Cnasty Cnorc, a real gno-goodnik.
Much like Crash Bandicoot: Warped (see Spotlight on Crash Bandicoot: Warped, "Bam! Boom! Crash!" in this issue), Spyro is all about hunting and gathering. Whether or not they succeed when Spyro is released this October will be up to you to judge. Insomniac and Universal will attempt to temper the cute-n-cuddly factor with brain-draining platform-style gameplay. Spyro the Dragon could be the sleeper hit of the season, but, then again, he may suffer the curse of Yoshi: too cute for his own good.
And if Spyro sounds familiar, it's because his voice-overs are done by Carlos Alazraqui, who does voices for Rocko's Modern World and for the Chihuahua in the Taco Bell commercials. By swiveling Spyro's head, you'll fire up close-ups with a 180-degree field of view in any direction.Īs if all this wasn't enough, the early version played audio that actually rocked, thanks in large part to music composed by former Police-man, Stewart Copeland. In the prelim CD, some jewels revealed their hiding places by the merest twinkle in a far-off hillside.ĭuring gameplay, you'll also be able to pull a few camera tricks, rotating the cam around Spyro 360 degrees and playing from any angle. Spyro will also show off impressive proprietary graphics technology that enables the game designers to create amazingly smooth background textures for nicely detailed long-distance views. Moreover, speaking of animation-quality graphics, Insomniac and Universal not only had the game animation running at 30 frames per second, but they're also using a new compression technique that allows them to store twice as many frames of animation than normal. The preview CD displayed Spyro with silky-smooth character graphics and cartoon-like animation. The graphics in the early disc revealed a lush fantasy land that looked like something out of an animated feature film. Spyro, his moves, and his worlds were beautifully cast with gorgeous graphics and impressive sounds in the pre-release CD. Spyro will be protected by his sidekick, Sparks the dragonfly, a sort of rechargeable insect shield that runs interference for him against the bad guys. He can also pull some slick moves, such as a long-distance power glide, a ram-chargin' run, and a variety of cool-looking body rolls. He'll be packing Gnorc-wupping power in his fiamethrowing breath and a headbutt that's practically unstoppable.
When it comes to combat, Spyro will definitely be no flaggin' dragon. According to Sony, if you find everything, you'll unlock a hidden level. He'll have to defeat a wacked-out army of reptilian henchmen in order to recover pilfered jewels and retrieve stolen dragon eggs, too.

Yet Spyro will have to find more than just his lost dragon brethren if he's going to get a crack at Gnasty. The adventure covers the gamut of environments, including deserts, ice lands, and even underwater worlds. You'll have to track down your crystallized homies, all 80 of whom are hidden in 30 geographically diverse areas. Gnasty's transformed all dragons into crystal statues, which are scattered across six massive worlds.

Playing as the plucky dragon cub, Spyro, you will be on a quest to free your fellow dragons from a nasty spell cast by an obnoxious gno-goodnik named Gnasty Gnorc. In preview form, Spyro the Dragon unveiled a wondrously mystical world, with smooth gameplay and animation that compelled you to pick up a Dual Shock controller just to watch the little guy move! As megahits-in-the-making such as Crash Bandicoot: Wanted, Tomb Raider, and Metal Gear Solid prepare to make their holiday rush, there's another PlayStation game that just might glide into your world-Spyro the Dragon.Įven in its early stages, Spyro is shaping up to be a primo platform adventure epic that appears to be trying to answer the question: just how pretty can a PlayStation game be?
