Spyro: Season of Ice

Love dragons? Hate sheep? Have a Game Boy Advance and a whole lotta extra time on your hands? Then, baby, have we got the game for you!

Achtung, dragon-loving, sheep-distrusting kleptomaniacs! While Spyro?s huge, ?collect a bazillion things? platform adventure constantly teeters on the verge of repetition, a plethora of colorful worlds and mini-games (including a Space Harrier clone and a version of Gauntlet starring backyard insects) keep the purple one from warping into World 4-4 of the Tedium Kingdom.

The colorful graphics and animation are great, and show lots of attention to detail. The music and sound won?t inspire you to plant a tree, but they also won?t make you burn down a rainforest, either. The game?s only real flaw is that Spyro kind of handles like a broken bicycle, and steering him/her/it through the pseudo-3D landscape can get frustrating after the nine-hundredth time you?ve inadvertently come too close to a puddle of lethal water. Spyro is straightforward, but you?ll definitely get your money?s worth.
