Spyro's got some new moves and the characters are brought to life by some big-name voice talent, but these aren't enough to make the game interesting. After a two-year break, Spyro is back with The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. But mascots don't die-they just start over.
2004's A Hero's Tail improved upon Enter the Dragonfly, but it wasn't a great game either, and many felt the series had run its course. The transition from the PlayStation to the current generation of consoles has not been kind to Spyro, and the series hit rock bottom with 2002's dismal Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. It might be hard to believe for anyone who has played a Spyro the Dragon game recently, but in the late 1990s, the little purple dragon was the star of some of the better platform games on the original PlayStation.
