It’s the closest thing to a vaguely taxing "Banjo Kazooie" -style adventure we might ever get.
-
The sound effects are brilliant and blend well with the cartoonish atmosphere of the game.
-
88Colorful graphics combined with challenging gameplay.
-
86A great game...The only things that slightly detract are the shortness of the overall game, and the sameness of many of the mini-games.
-
85So much has changed...for the better. Improved, tighter controls, more tasks to complete, more variety in the level design, a longer quest, and a better use of the isometric perspective.
-
80It looks better, it sounds better, it plays better, and it's ultimately more enjoyable than the original.
-
The controls are tight, the graphics are great and the gameplay is diverse and filled with mini-games.
-
Controlling Spyro hasn't improved. It’s still incredibly awkward trying to control him while gliding, as he'll go zooming off all over the place with the slightest touch.
-
80The only downside to this fabulous adventure is the tricky controls. The digital directional pad doesn’t allow for smooth diagonal movement, which Spyro does a lot in each world.
-
Sadly, there's little depth in Season of Flame.
-
The jumping portions of the game are still a little iffy, and I killed myself quite a lot from misreading the view, but in the end I enjoyed exploring the worlds. [Dec 2002, p.152]

70Although Spyro 2: Season of Flame is a very well produced game, the difficulty of it may turn away many players, myself included.
-
60While not the most complicated game of the year, does deliver a small serving of fun. At the least it's the sort of title that forces players to work up a bit of the old hand-eye coordination.
-
Season of Flame would benefit from better control and more objectives apart from collecting a bazillion trinkets, but the graphics, humor, and puzzles are engaging enough to warrant a purchase for devotees of the purple dragon.
-
The action is presented in the same style and is shown from the same isometric perspective as Spyro's last GBA adventure. [Nov 2002, p.228]

50Spyro 2’s major and quite glaring shortcoming – boredom. There’s plenty to do here, but none of it really makes you want to carry on the story through to its end because none of it is particularly fun.
-
It's all pretty standard platforming fare with nothing to really distinguish it from the rest of similar titles except for the license.
-
50While the size of the game and the sheer inventiveness of the many levels are admirable, such problems with core elements of the engine make play unfulfilling.
