How Metascores Are Calculated

A careless wizard has cursed himself with a big headache and it's the wings of 100 fairies he needs for the cure. Along with Hunter and Sparx, Spyro sets out on a brand new adventure to save the fairies and restore order to the Dragon Realms. [Universal Interactive]

THIS IS THE BEST ADVENTURE ON THE GAME BOY ADVANCE!

GameSpy
It's a tad easy, but it's also so fun and addictive that any platform game fan will enjoy it.

GameZone
The only real sticking point with Spyro is a seeming ultra-sensitivity to the controls.

Pocket Games
Although things can get tedious, it's a solid mix of adventuring and action. [Winter 2001, p.55]

GamePro
The game’s only real flaw is that Spyro kind of handles like a broken bicycle, and steering him/her/it through the pseudo-3D landscape can get frustrating after the nine-hundredth time you’ve inadvertently come too close to a puddle of lethal water.

IGN
A good game with a lengthy quest and a decent challenge.

If you’re not a Spyro fan, this is still a passable and thoroughly engrossing game that exhausts you with all the item searching – but hey, that’s what a good platform game does.

Game Over Online
Spyro has definitely not lost its audio-visual lustre since its first inception, but it has some ways to go to dislodge Mario on the handheld platform.

Nintendophiles
In the end any substantial complaints I have regarding Spryo: Season of Ice are centered on the fact that current platformers have turned into giant scavenger hunts. Those may be fun but I’ve had my fill already.

GameSpot
Once you're used to floating diagonally and hopping ledges toward loftier areas, the game becomes quite fun.

Electric Playground
Together, the sum of these interesting parts holds up quite well.

Nintendo Power
Eye-popping visuals and slick game play. [Dec 2001, p.172]

Game Informer
The new territory of the Game Boy Advance isn't too hospitable to our fiery friend. [Jan 2002, p.98]

All Game Guide
It may border on blasphemy to say so, but Spyro: Season of Ice might have been better off as a side-scrolling platformer, ala Sonic or Klonoa.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
It's not bad, but it could have been much more. [Dec 2001, p.264]

GamerWeb Nintendo
It runs poorly, presents itself poorly, and simply is true and utter trash. The only area of remote interest is the 3D level, but that alone isn't worth the price of the game.
