100More creative minigames, a slightly higher difficulty level, superb level design and some of the best realtime graphics the PlayStation has ever seen all make Year of the Dragon a winner.
-
100Like "Sonic" and "Crash," Spyro grabs on and doesn't let go, and the complexity of the levels, hidden games, and non-stop action make it one of the year's best platform games.
-
100It's one of the best games to come out for the PlayStation in 2000.

Don't be fooled by that cutesy purple dragon - this ain't just a kiddie game. [Nov 2001, p.51]

95One of the rare, few 32-bit games that still impresses, still retains magic after being beaten, and still begs for one last shot at exploring all its secrets and milking all its three-dimensional worth.
-
91A universally excellent game.
-
The relative ease of the game means that seasoned platform gamers should blow through this one without much difficulty at all.
-
Clearly the product of a talented group of developers who apparently give a damn about whether or not anyone actually likes playing their games. And unless there's something severely wrong with you, you will certainly like playing this one.
-
The folks at Insomniac have built an incredibly detailed, fun, and immersive action/adventure that is definitely worth picking up, whether or not you're familiar with this franchise.
-
90The game play in this episode is so thought out and well-realized that I found myself actually discouraged that this would be Insomniac's last venture with the purple dragon.
-
89One of those exceptional games where the great gameplay makes up for mediocre graphics and sound.
