  1. The mini-games are satisfying, despite their slight repetitiveness, and are quite a bit of fun. If there is another mini-games focused Spyro game in the future, the platforming elements need serious work, but overall the game’s style works.
  2. The graphics and gameplay are a step up from those of Spyro's isometric-view adventures. [July 2004, p.122]
  3. Let down by a slightly unsatisfactory platform element that doesn't make the most of the lead character's abilities, and is outshone by it's counterpart game.
  4. Now on to the biggest problem of this title. It is simply too short.

    Spyro fusion is a great game and has super modes of playand is very hard to complete.
  3. A mildly diverting platformer/party game that isn't as good as its counterpart, but kiddies of all ages will enjoy it. Pros: Great graphics for the GBA; variety of mini-games; the platforming "hubworld" has a lot to collect. Cons: Too short, too easy; some of the mini-games get repetitious; Crash Bandicoot Purple is a tad bit better. Collapse

    This game is so terrible. If I must backtrack one more time, I will throw my Game Boy Advance through the window! I wish I could rate it even lower than zero, that's how bad it is. Expand
