  • From being Christmas rushed to nearly killing the franchise, Spyro Enter the Dragonfly is indeed the worst in the trilogy, or is it? Is it possible that after all these years, perhaps Enter the Dragonfly was simply misjudged? Well, there's only one way to find out as we take a deep look into Spyro Enter the Dragonfly and see if time has served it well.

    This was the first game where looking at it I finally understood and appreciated the skill and care that goes into making a game look like the original three, because looking at this game for too long feels like reality is melting

    Spyro: Enter the dragonfly is like the Sonic 06 of Spyro games.

    Somehow Spyro Enter the Dragonfly isn't even my least favorite game in the series, but despite personal preferences, it still is pretty much the worst thing that could happen to Spyro for a mainline installment on home consoles right after the success of the original 3 games.

      At the very least, Enter the Dragonfly manages to not be the train wreck that is Spyro Orange.

    I remember as a kid I would always run into this glitch that slowed the game down 3X and I thought it was so funny to sprint around in slow mo. Life was simpler back then lol

    This feels like a Nitro Rad video, but with the vibe of Meltingman234. I like that combination.

    This was the first spyro game I ever played. I hated the long loading screens and always got lost in the levels.
    I wish a hero’s tale was my first spyro game instead.

    Enter the Dragonfly was my first Spyro game LOL. When I played it as a kid I just thought I was bad at it because it kept breaking and making me lose.

    this was actually my 1st spyro game, i remember some glitches but i don't remember ever having the frozen glitch or the platforms eating my jumps glitch, i just remember long loading, races being absolute bull, and a glitch were if you did a horn dive on the very edge of a body of water you can swim in the air

      The swimming in the air glitch was also in Spyro 2 and 3 as well.

    I played this a lot as a kid and the only problem I ever ran into was the long load times. No actual glitches just happening. Is my copy 'blessed' or something?

      I guess I only encountered a lot of graphical glitches, but there was nothing terribly game-breaking.

    I got this game as a kid after worshipping year of the dragon. I didnt really understand that a spyro game could he bad, so I played it in good faith for a very long time. I was really confused that their was only one hub world but thought that it had to be a better game because spyro had lightning breath.
    Idk, i still have a soft spot for this game but maybe thats because i remember it without the loading times. I think ultimately im resentful of the game because it killed the spyro formula i loved so much. I would have been so happy if they just kept remixing the formula they built in spyro 1, 2, and 3. But maybe im just looking at those with rose tinted glasses.

      Even though I disagree, I respect your opinion. I know that TGX Game Reviews also likes this game. I think it depends on how you look at it. There is a good game in ETD somewhere; unfortunately it's muddled down with glitches and a lack of polish.

      @davreviews4162 iv hear the ps2 version is way worse with bugs and stuff on gc the only big ones I know of are swimming in the air and getting to the final boss in like 10 seconds from the start.

    I don’t like to sound harsh on Spyro’s games
    But yes Enter The Dragonfly was the first
    Spyro game that bombed and A Hero’s Tail
    Wasn’t any better so it shows more results
    Why the New
    SPYRO 4
    Needs to turn out Better
    And where Gen 4 Spyro Reflects from Reignited Spyro
    But Gen 4 Spyro’s Wings wouldn’t turn out too gigantic
    But Large enough
    so Spyro can keep His ability to Fly Anytime Any Level
    Without Limitations but with New Rewarding Challenges
    Boss Battles & Upgradeable Qualities That should be
    Researched Invented and taking place in the new
    SPYRO 4
    Spyro is a Dragon he has Wings he should actually use them

    I disagree, the level design in this game is shit. In some games like mario 64 you dread the water stages, well in this game I dread every stage all of them and all the minigames. I think about each level and think about how I never want to play that again and each world gets worse and worse. It takes about 15 minutes to 100% a level but its so awful it feels like i been playing for 3 hours. This game doesnt even feel like a beta build it feels like im playing an alpha build that was scrapped together with concepts that was written down to prepare it for the beta build. In the atlas there is unreleased art for worlds and on the back of the game box that picture of spyro with ice breath isnt even in the game and the breath doesnt freeze people like that
