I agree. Seriously - in his debut game, whenever Gnasty Gnorc saw you, he IMMEDIATELY turned tail and ran like a scared child. If anything, this game makes him MORE badass, since here he actually fights you.
It really wasnt the best spyro game, if anything this was the start of the notable decline in the spyro franchise, cause if memory serves me right this was just before the new beginning trilogy, and that was probably the furthest thing from a spyro game there could’ve been, not to say that this is a bad game, it was still pretty good, fun and enjoyable for the most part, but it was far from being the best
@@Milkrayt Eh in the new beginning they just followed the trend of modernization, and given it didn’t work out well, but that was because of the fanbase, who didn’t give it a chance. Spyro a Hero’s tail was the best entry in the series, it had the right balance of somewhat modern graphics for the time as well as the classic video game feeling.
The lively upbeat music, no returning voice actors, Gnasty Gnorc is small and a wuss and taking orders from a dragon which he hates back in the first game. It's canon to the PS1 trilogy.
+HyperSonicXtreme "No returning voice actors"; actually, Andre Sogliuzzo came back to voice Sparx in this game. Plus, Michael Gough returned to voice Gnasty Gnorc here as well; it's just not the same voice, for some odd reason.
@@artbytesia Gnasty Gnorc is about the only character to have the same actor the whole series and ironically he NEVER did a consistent voice for him. :P
This fight I think would have fit more in Enter The Dragonfly because he was supposed to be the main antagonist of the game teaming up with Ripto but because "Spyro 4" was rushed we ended up with an incomplete mess and no boss fights except the last one. Spyro 4 could have been somewhat decent if they just did not push it out the door before it was fully finished. Enter The Dragonfly is the Sonic 06 of the series.
FYI: Flame and Ember were infact voiced by Tara Strong, yeah, both of them. Tara Strong, if you dont remember, has a pretty big child voice actor career, mainly because she also has a skill of voicing Male characters aswell as female characters. So far her most recent part of her career is MLP (What, you suprised? MLP IS a Childrens show you know)
Caleb I hope we'll get Flame and Ember back again I like them especially with Spyro Flame and Ember becoming a trio and I bet they're childhood friends with Spyro.
and i wish the second spyro game had gnasty in it, because at the end of the first one spyro calls him a worthy adversary and then all of the dragons are frozen again. idk that would have been cool.
This fame wasn't so bad. the enviroments were interesting to traverse, and the boss fights were pretty cool. I might buy it again if I really wanted too. But this is much better than all the other new Spyro games. except the one where you find out about Spyro's birth and stuff and his begginings. That game was pretty good.
Oh i remember this game, i have it for my xbox and wow it brings back memories watching this, I used to play this game all the time. I only play games on the 360 now though..
Why is his green so bright? Why does he look like a big green bear instead on a monstrous troll? Why are his eyes so dead? Why doesn't he shoot green magic from his mace? And, like someone wisely pointed out, why is Gnasty Gnorc working for a DRAGON? The only reason this boss didn't piss me off as a kid was because I played this game before Spyro 1. Just because this is more of a fight than the one in the first game doesn't mean it's good. His attacks are repetitive, the cave setting is dull and the music is generic. I can accept the silver armour instead of the gold one, though. He wears a similar suit of armour in the Spyro 1 box art and on the painting in Gnasty's Loot. So that was a nice touch.
@@kendrickrochelanzot2053 Yeah I hope Flame and Ember return with much bigger roles and playable characters along with Spyro and I like Spyro x Ember.
I love gnasty gnorcs voice, he and slurp are very hilarious in the cutscenes. I guess they could have balanced gnasty gnorcs old persona with this goofy one better, I thought it was really funny, and what they were going for was a great idea, they just need to better balance it next time. I also think his voice did the trick for the persona they were going for gnasty, even though I understand that some might not like it compared to the original gnasty, or had higher expectations, I still think they were on to something good here since gnasty was pretty funny, so they're on the right track I think, they just need to balance this newer funny persona with the old threading one a bit better so it's not off putting for old fans. Anyway, nice boss, cool music, I like what they're trying to do with gnasty and I hope they continue to work on and improve his character further with these changes that could prove to be a very good mixture with what his character was in the past game :)
on the other hand it is not newest game but... after Enter the Dragonfly it is nice to know that this serie isn't dead yet - yeah yeah new consoles, new oportunities, but there are certainly moments that makes me smile. last game was ONE BIG MESS
I don't care what anyone says this is the best fight of gnasty gnorce. He actually a boss in this game. Unless u count his appearance in crash bandicoot on the run.
@@kendrickrochelanzot2053 unless he's referring to the possibility that he and Spyro fought again after the first game since Gnasty was revealed to still be alive and refroze all the dragons. Or he's referring specifically to this fight since it is a 3 part fight.
Since Gnasty Gnorc said at the end of the battle "This time you REALLY defeated me" and in the next cutscene, Red uses past tense when talking about him, does this mean that Spyro actually killed him?
Has anyone noticed that in Gnasty's Loot room where there's tons of treasure that there's a picture of him using this desighn? They copied the desighn from the first game into this one!
And on top of that just how does Spyro even manage to kill him? The guy takes two hits as opposed to most of the other bosses only taking 3, and on top of that he's wearing armor, sure it wasn't as shiny as the other gnorcs armor, but still, if he has that thick protection why does he die from a couple of tiny little flames?
His design was more badass & more iconic then this one. I will give you this is about somewhat slightly more of a boss fight then the first one. But Gnasty was better as his own boss in the 90's.
@ColeRedRanger well that's your opinion, not mine. i think "a hero's tail" is the best because the controls weren't as stiff as the originals and because the game makes open world exploring even more liberating. you still haven't told me why the PS1 games are the best and why the rest (including this one) suck
i like enter the dragonfly and spyro 1 most... spyro 1 was my favorite game when i was 7 years old... and enter the dragonfly had very nice optic lvls but the rest is stupid..
@@archdukebigdogkoopa3821 And I hope we'll get a remastered version of Spyro A Hero's Tail too along with Spyro Enter The Dragonfly Spyro Shadow Legacy Spyro Season of Ice Spyro 2 Season of Flame Spyro Attack of The Rhynocs and Spyro Orange.
@Gtkthemaster not really he just didnt sound like a pansy on crack, but at least he didnt run away this time, still loveheart boxes showing + hsm refference would make anyone want to run away, at least this time he can do some damage to ya.
Gnasty was actually a satisfying boss this time around, rather than just running away like a pathetic coward.
Imagine what that fight would’ve been like if he didn’t
@@ET-Wonder1
Glad they fixed this fight with him actually fighting back.
I agree. Seriously - in his debut game, whenever Gnasty Gnorc saw you, he IMMEDIATELY turned tail and ran like a scared child. If anything, this game makes him MORE badass, since here he actually fights you.
This was acutally my first encounter with the guy. He seemed like such a terrifying menace at the time :v
Surprising he's not running away like last time
This was the best spyro game. All those childhood memories ;)

I like Spyro Enter The Dragonfly this one and Spyro Shadow Legacy.
Imagine this boss battle with Stewart Copeland's original music from the first game.

The great art form of beating spyro bosses: run around in circles and jump.
I remember enjoying this game growing up.
Now it looks and feels really bad

brings back memories😌
The part where the fairy was telling you about the electric energy thing, it sounded like reading out terms and conditions on an advert!
I remember watching Aaron play this game when I was 14 the Last week of August!
Seriously everyone whines because of his voice, who the hell cares? This isn't a damn movie, therefore, what makes him badass is his actions.

@Madskillz434
In this game, he was voiced by Jess Harnell, who also voice Crash Bandicoot. I know, because he voiced a KH character as well.
this is one of the games of my child hood i played all the time when i was 6. im now 13
You did really good in this. It would take me longer.
Hey gnasty is harder now as in AN ACTUAL FREAKING BOSS!
Gnasty Gnorc is just here for fan service
This was my Spyro game other than Attack of the Rhynocs, but because of the spiders, I never reached this guy.
I don't care what anyone says this is the best fight of gnasty gnorce. He actually a boss in this game. Unless u count his appearance in crash bandicoot on the run.
This is better than the first fight with Gnasty Gnorc
Look how they massacred my boy....
They made a mess of my boy
@@wereham
This fight is better than his fight in the first Spyro game though.
this is the boss i like cause i never die
dam I wanna play this game again gotta get my ps2 back
gnasty gnorc has let himself go

@@coryames1170 very true! Never thought of that
was 5, and when i beat it i realized he wasn't that tough but seeing the intro of Spyro 1 he scared me a little
You can even charge into his weak spot instead of flaming it
What happened to nasty? He was alot more menacing in the 1st
Enter the Dragonfly truely shames the original trilogy because it plays almost exactly as the first three games just with different breaths
To true... was just thinking that while watching this lol
Woah woah woah! Slow down, you crazy fairy!
When I saw just how lame Gnasty became, my heart broke a little.
GNASTY GNORC he going to be a boss in skylanders 7
1:35 LOL! It looked like Gnasty farted fire!
Since Gnasty Gnorc said at the end of the battle "This time you REALLY defeated me" and in the next cutscene, Red uses past tense when talking about him, does this mean that Spyro actually killed him?
whats the theme? i herd it in carnosaure 3 before but this is like a remix
0:38 You can see Gnasty Gnorc there.
0:49 Where is he?
Gnasty from Spyro 1 + this fight = Epic?
5:49 I guess amp is talking fast because she drank too much caffeine.
@rprince418 Awesome find, bro.
0:15 Timmy Turner?
Ironically fights better than his first game 😅 Spyro Hero’s Tail is a solid ok game.
Is there a cheat code unlock or something that makes you play as flame because he looks just like spyro just with a red skins.
@lataaja Well, Spyro DID steal all of his treasure, so budget cuts had to be made all around.
0:27 You had to do that :P
the reason that the first three were so good is probably because insomniac games made it
Are we gonna do this thing or what?
5:44 OMG! HE CRUSHED SPARX!
i would like to know 2.. cause i have to use a vid camera.. as u easily can see in my vids :S
Primal Carnage Extinction OST -
well atleast it takes more hits to kill him in this one (But I do agree with you, being a classic spyro fan)
Gnasty used to be badass haha with that deep voice aswell!
@darthbinks99 that and Spyro's voice in this game is mediocre.
Has anyone noticed that in Gnasty's Loot room where there's tons of treasure that there's a picture of him using this desighn? They copied the desighn from the first game into this one!

Is Flame voiced by Timmy Turner? It sounds like it to me.
"Gnasty is not as awesome as he was in the 90s" Uhhh...Gnasty Gnorc was never awesome, he sucked in the first game. Ripto was the best Spyro villain.
SnakeEater866 Compared to this game, Gnasty was awesome in the 90s lol
+SnakeEater866 While I like his redesign, they could have at least have given him a less whiney voice.

@FourSwordsLord
i still prefer this game to the legend of spyro
Its trying to communicate.
Do you include skylanders in this?
yes, yes it is.
Gnasty Gnorc should have never been in this game. I stopped playing at this point. It ruined it for me. The trilogy was the best.
i like enter the dragonfly and spyro 1 most... spyro 1 was my favorite game when i was 7 years old... and enter the dragonfly had very nice optic lvls but the rest is stupid..
Couldn't they have made Flame look anything less like a copy of Spyro? Even with the small changes he looks just like him.
Leave
I like Flame the way he is.
...It is sad when a PS1 game has better character design, better voice acting, and better writing than this. :/
To think it's mostly because Tom Kenny was busy with the spongebob movie...
