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.

44. 59: Beast Makers Home

Of all of the homeworld levels of such from Spyro 1 remaining to rank of the countdown, I will admit on back when I was younger and still a level I have with a problem with of somewhat to this day still with of Spyro 1, I didn't like the Beast Makers Homeworld very much and next to of that other then not counting the fail homeworld that is of Gnorc Genxus, I found Beast Makers to be my least favorite overall Homeworld level of the game when I was younger thanks to when I was still learning around the main gameplay mechanics of the game, the Beast Makers Homeworld level would involve sometimes around very cheap gameplay elements of the homeworld with of the annoying pig enemies rooming around most of the level and causing any form of movement near one of them would involve, one of them loving to tackle you down and trying to kill you over nothing you felt like you did nothing wrong with. God, those guys were so annoying.

Thanks to how now that I am older, smarter and easier to understand around more gameplay mechanics of the like in of the classic PS1 franchise, I found the Beast Makers homeworld growing on me and not really disliking of it in of such today and finding it to be a decent homeworld to play through of Spyro 1 from start to finish but, thanks to even now by today's standards of where I found still cheap and annoying gameplay elements come into place of the level with of the wild and annoying pig and electric fields going off in of the level, I feel like while this made the homeworld unique, It slowed the lack of a main explore element unlike of that of other homeworld levels out there of the franchise that make them entertaining and fun to play through.

The main gameplay I felt for Beast Makers felt to much of an emphasis on slow and steady patience of the level and it while again it made the world unique, it felt like something that wasn't really needed for the level in such of where the more fantastic Peace Keepers, Magic Crafters and Dream Wavers homeworld levels of from Spyro 1 didn't have of this problem added in of the main gameplay elements and were more fantastic and fun homeworld levels then overall of that of Beast Makers, IMO.

Issues aside which much like the other above average levels that have been already ranked in of this section of the countdown, I found the Beast Makers Homeworld to be a decent homeworld out there to the franchise despite some notable problems of the homeworld and while it was not the best out there of the series, it's far from the worst homeworld level out there of the franchise with the already stated much worse Gnorc Gnexus and Spyro 3 homeworld levels ranked much lower on the countdown in compared to Beast Makers. Not much else to say other then just another decent above average overall level of like to the classic PS1 franchise.
