Finished playing this and I think that this game is better than Spyro 2 (but still highly inferior to Spyro 1). I liked to play with other characters, Sheila can jump really high, Sgt. Byrd is the only one who can actually fly here (though I don't like he as a character, I think that Madagascar did better lol) and …

Byrd is the only one who can actually fly here (though I don't like he as a character, I think that Madagascar did better lol) and Bentley smash things. But I hated the monkey.
I liked some of the mini-games too, the Sheila side scrolling mini-game, the slides, the find the dog and find the bones mini-game, the skate mini-game (but it's difficult to land and I hate mini-games with a timer so I just did the first one).
I also had to farm some eggs by the end of the game to unlock the last boss (while in Spyro 2 I could just fight the final boss without played any of the levels of the last home world lol).

I loved Spyro as a kid, I almost finished the 1st Spyro but it bugged in the final battle so I never actually finished until recently, and I still love the game and did everything (except the annoying high speed flying levels lol). Then I played Spyro 2 and hated it, I hated those stupid mini-games!! And unfortunately Spyro 3 …

Then I played Spyro 2 and hated it, I hated those stupid mini-games!! And unfortunately Spyro 3 suffers from the same problem, and now the mini-games even have their own separate areas, wth, all of them are so annoying ._.

I got every egg in the game. Couldn't leave those baby dragons. Went ahead and collected all the treasure too. The rocket sled race at the end was insane though. I finally found out about a glitch where I stand inside a blue star for a minute before the race for infinite boost. There was no way I was getting …

Okay, here we go again. I've finished this game tons of times, less than Spyro 1 and 2, though. I hadn't the game when I was a child because the CD didn't work.
Anyway, another playthrough on the go. I absolutely love this game. Even if I think Spyro 2 is a better game (because in the last world it's …

Anyway, another playthrough on the go. I absolutely love this game. Even if I think Spyro 2 is a better game (because in the last world it's obvious they did run out of time), Spyro 3 is probably my favourite Spyro game and one of my favourite platforms games in history along Jak 3.
So, time to replay it again.

A caccia di uova
Terzo capitolo della trilogia di Spyro. Un gioco molto grande con troppe cose da fare: 20000 gemme e 150 uova sono tante da raccogliere. Sfide e minigiochi presenti in modo eccessivo, come i personaggi secondari. Per il resto un ottimo platform. La versione PC del remake presenta molti bug, soprattutto nelle sfide di skateboard, che ora detesto con tutta l'anima. …

Spyro 3 is SO BAD. I'd really like to ask Insomniac what the hell happened between the 1st and 3rd games, because while Spyro 2 isn't as good as the first, it's still a fairly solid title. But this? Oh MAN this is traaaash. I thought maybe playing it for the first time in the Reignited version would make it …

In fact, if anything, it only shows how much more glaring all its flaws are.

Check out my playthrough on twitch to see my thoughts on it!
Review iliketoreadbro 5/5 · Jun 3, 2014
One of the first video games I ever really played, this game was the shit. I think it was the last or one of the last ones that Insomniac made (the series declined after that). The skateboarding made no sense but I poured countless hours into it. Fun and varied level design and lengthy story if memory serves.
