Although the game's pace may be slow at times, its elements add up to a satisfying experience. [Dec 2002, p.218]
IGN
The framerate is absolutely terrible. What was Universal thinking letting this one out the door?

There is no way of putting it nicely – this game sucks. Avoid this game at all costs. Even if you loved the previous Spyro titles, do not buy this game. Show Universal that we don’t buy crap.

While we rarely get hung-up about graphic quality, its obvious that the developer has put very little effort into this department – bare textures and dull colours do not excite.

With all of these faltering features, Spyro’s newest adventure feels more like it was meant to be played on the PlayStation rather than on the GameCube.

The challenges are so easy they're laughable. The graphics haven't improved. The framerate chugs. [Jan 2003, p.101]

Everything from the graphics, sound and the frame rate should have been a whole lot better, not to mention the confusing and burdensome control scheme.

Just a mess. The underlying play mechanics are OK, but the graphics are so bad they actually impact the gameplay significantly.

If you have Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, trade it in for a PS1 Spyro game and hope for the best. But please, do not play this game all the way through. Innocent minds will be lost.

There was one point where I once went to a part of a level, and it was missing. The level wasn't there at all. I was floating in mid air. Eventually it re-appeared but this shouldn't happen.

A train wreck of a game that has no direction, no technical merit, and little appeal except as a game design house of horrors and a showcase for some good music by Stewart Copeland.

Feels flat and recycled, a perfunctory exercise to suck in the remaining loyalists. [Dec 2002, p.86]

Ben B. gave it a 0:
The frame rate is terribly slow. You cannot save more than two games at a time. The spoken words and the printed words don't match (They're from different levels). Can I get my money back or a new version, PLEASE!?
