For the most part, though, Spyro is a graphics bonanza with blasts of color and eye-catching nuances, such as rippling water, glowing flames, and shimmering portals.
All in all, the game felt more like a task I had to complete rather than something to be enjoyed.

This is very best game. Incredible graphic and interesting mini-games. Characters clearly modeled, even Spyro very nicely. Of glitches can laugh, this is fun. I like this game

This is a very funny game. The graphics are good. Glitch do not interfere with the game. Interesting mini-games make the gameplay more varied. Maybe not the best game about Spyro, but that doesn't make it bad.

More of the same, but not quite as good, with crappy minigames and a framerate that's more offensive than calling your political foe a putzhead. [Jan 2003, p.132]
Run, not walk, far away from this piece of junk. Do not buy this game at all costs or you will regret it. You have been warned.
The gameplay is not very addictive and feels more of a farce than an enjoyable adventure game.
Control-wise, I hate the slippery, jittery interaction between character and camera. [Jan 2003, p.52]
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.
this game isn’t good, but it is a great time.
it has an almost unbelievable amount of bugs and glitches. i can say with 100% certainty that the game will bug out every single time it is played, and in new and surprising ways. just when you think you’ve seen it all, it hits you with something unexpected. i’m not even going to spoil them because they’re the best part of the game. what’s even better is that none of them interfere with the gameplay; the awful framerate and poor optimization do more damage to that than anything else.
the actual design of the game is hilariously bad, too. since there are only, like, ten levels, Check Six felt the need to cram hundreds of gems into each one. some levels have 900 gems, and collecting them is completely pointless because you only need to use them once. in the very first level. and there are big open spaces littered with nothing but gems and enemies. and most of the gems spawn upside down and completely static. amazing.
seriously, the design is so confusing and the glitches so abundant that you’ll be faced with occurrences in which you’re unsure whether or not they were supposed to happen the way they did.
spyro’s momentum is so wacky, and it leads to honestly the best ice physics i’ve ever experienced. it is legitimately fun to move spyro around on the ice, and i can’t say that about any other game. unfortunately, spyro enter the dragonfly doesn’t do much with it.
the graphics are hairyass bad, but the aesthetic is pleasing enough and uses a lot of bright and eye catching colors without being overbearing. the framerate can make it hard to enjoy sometimes, though.
the game also has some solid tracks. Stewart Copeland had a hand in the music, and it shows.
some of the minigames are actually fun, and the game does do speedways pretty well, if a little unruly to control because of the speed combined with, once again, the terrible framerate.
you can find this game super cheap now. grab some friends and a bong and just enjoy. as long as you don’t go in expecting a traditionally fun and functional gaming experience, you won’t be disappointed.

Fun platformer, don't know why everyone hates it, the frame rate is fine and everything else about it is pretty decent.

This game is just okay, I will explain why this game is okay, after I explain the negatives. Firstly, this game suffers from 59 second loading times, being covered in glitches, having a lame story and being rushed. Yes, this game was rushed, it was supposed to feature 25 levels, but instead we got 9. We know that Check Six planned for a level known as enchanted forest and a possible Sparx level. Also I would like to point out the fact that there are 151 Baby dragons and 90 baby dragonflies.
The story to this game is worst than the story to Super Mario Bros (1985). Basically Ripto survived somehow after burning in lava, he steals the dragonflies, he finds out they're scattered, Spyro beats him and he runs away. Story=3/10
This game controls exactly the same as the original trilogy, but just stiffer. You can barely move unless you use the analog stick. It also doesn't help that the frame rates and the camera angles are awful. Controllers=4/10
The graphics are just okay, some games even before 2002 looked better though, even spyro 2 looks better than this. Overall it looks okay, but nothing special. Graphics=5/10
The music is yet again by Stewart Copeland, who also did the music for the Ps1 spyro games. The music isn't as good, or as memorable over the original trilogy, but it is just good. Nothing amazing just good. Music=7/10
The level design is nothing new over Spyro 3, it's just the same and adds nothing new. There are lots of levels with themes, such as a dream world, a dojo, a farm with aliens and a lava level with Jurassic Park references. Level design=6.5/10
The levels we have are: The dragon realms, Dragonfly Dojo, Crop Circle Country, Luau Island, Cloud 9, Monkey Monastery, Honey Marsh, Thieves Den, Jurassic Jungle and Chateau Ripto (boss **** best level is either Jurassic Jungle or Cloud 9.
The gameplay of this game is also okay, the controllers and STUPID GLITCHES!!! don't help either. Overall it is the same as Spyro 3 and adds nothing new It's still fun to play, but it is heavily flawed. Gameplay=6.5/10
Overall Spyro 4: Enter the Dragonfly is just above average. It's not a bad game, it just doesn't compare to its previous Ps1 counterparts. It just feels the same as spyro 2 and 3, but adds nothing new. It's the fun Spyro we know and love, but slightly worse. Spyro 4 gets 6/10. I did like that it added new breath powers and had some cool levels, but it is just heavily flawed.

This game is just a broke ass try hard of Spyro 3. When Insomniac games left the Spyro series, they worked on Rachet and Clank. Ever since then, the quality of Spyro games starts to diminish and die. And it all starts with this botched abortion. Spyro enter the dragonfly is the "How not to make a Spyro game", similar to Sonic 06. This game has a **** load of bugs, glitches, and frame rate drops like that of Sonic 06. And I feel bad for any Spyro fan who loved the 3 original games and had to deal with this garbage. In conclusion this is just a **** game. 4.8/10

The only reason this game gets a 4 out of 10 is because of the hilarious glitches, It is clearly not a finished game although it had some potential to be an alright game if more time was spent on it.
