Preston Ward Condra Ranks All 101 Spyro 1-3 Levels

by Preston Ward Condra

A project I made when I was 15 years old, during my sophomore year in High School in September 2009. I critiqued and ranked every single level from Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon in, one consolidated project from worst to best. It doesn't matter if you agree with my opinion or not. All that matters, is that this ended up getting finished.

19. 84: Sunrise Spring

We have ourselves another Spyro 3 homeworld level appearing on the countdown. Much of what said earlier in the countdown of to Evening Lake and Midday Gardens can be said of to for Sunrise Spring and I apologize of note of repeating myself of such in a few of these write-ups so far in the countdown. In terms of gameplay action to take in part of in of what I stated earlier in the countdown, the Spyro 3 homeworlds fall short compared to the Spyro 1 and 2 homeworld levels thanks to in part of no variety in terms of level design. The only expection of such of the only Spyro 3 homeworld that I found not having of this problem is, Midnight Mountain which has yet to be full ranked on the countdown so far.

Unlike where you could have random fun taking down gnorc enemies in the homeworlds in of Spyro 1 and in of exploring massive homeworlds for the fun of it in of Spyro 2, nothing of note is going to knock your socks off in terms of gameplay in of the homeworlds of Spyro 3 involving the player to take in part of bland level design performing the simplest of tasks to take in part of such of gliding and swimming tips from Hunter to earn Dragon Eggs of.

This becomes more of a problem with of how the Spyro 3 homeworlds do not easily hold up against well of the homeworld levels of the other two Spyro PS1 games with the levels getting more bland and boring to take in part of boredom in once all gems and dragon eggs have been collected of the levels. It would of been nice haven't the homeworlds of Spyro 3 have more hidden enjoyable depth tasks to take in part of in unlike of the ones in the previous two installments of the series. Oh, well. The only homeworld from Spyro 3 once again that sticks out with personality and unique style of gameplay is, Midnight Mountain.

So overall if Sunrise Spring suffers from the exact same problems of Evening Lake and Midday Gardens, why have it ranked higher on the countdown? I will give credit where it's due and act generous on part of Sunrise Spring to of it for since it's the part where gamers start out with beginning early enjoyment to Spyro 3 and a nice ending in such for in the last great game of the franchise and in the fact that a more enjoyable swimming in the air glitch can be taken in part of Sunrise Spring unlike in Evening Lake, IMO. With that of note, not much else to state other then things that have been stated on what feels like a thousand times already in the countdown and with that causes me to rank Sunrise Spring, no higher then this in the countdown.
