85The strongest of the dragon's GBA appearances. Thanks to the large number of challenges you're presented with, the game plays a lot freer and more open-ended than most platformers -- handheld or console.
-
85Great controls, graphics, sound and side characters - some of whom you can play in a variety of mini-game - round out a well-designed package. [Fall 2003, p.54]
-
80The change from action to adventure gives players a lot more to do in this latest Spyro adventure. The collecting aspect is very blatant, though, and goes a little too far in artificially extending the game's length.
-
80It takes everything that was good in "Spyro: Season of Ice" and "Spyro: Season of Flame," adds in a few new puzzles and abilities, and brings all of these aspects together into an adventure that's larger and more pleasing to the senses than either of those previous games.
-
80With a GBA link cable, the head-to-head Byrd Rescue mode is a blast. Tight, responsive controls seal the deal, making Attack of the Rhynocs the most enjoyable GBA Spyro title to date.
-
79The isometric view gives the game a closer-to-3D feel than any other game on the GBA. Even "Banjo-Kazooie," which used a similar gameplay technique, is not as effective at pulling it off as Spyro is.
-
The new RPG elements were a nice touch, but it just is not enough for me to enjoy the game any more.
-
Using the same isometric view as the previous titles, Attack of the Rhynocs takes a sizeable leap in gameplay quality and variety. [Jan 2004, p.162]
-
65The game's an okay platformer with colorful visuals, decent (if generic) music, and control that gets the job done. It's just that there's nothing at all special here.
-
Could have been much worse, but with similar games like "Banjo-Kazooie" offering better, deeper gameplay, it's a bit tough to recommend. [Jan 2004, p.76]
-
This is a fetch quest of unparalleled proportions. [Jan 2004, p.160]
-
The only real wrench in the works is the loose control system which makes this purple dragon a little more difficult to control than need be.
-
Takes a step back from the pleasantly surprisingly quality of Spyros initial GBA outings in its attempts to make the game more of an adventure than a platformer. Unfortunately, the design changes backfire.
