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.

58. 45: Magic Crafters Home

Continuing down the trend of more and more homeworld levels from the Spyro PS1 franchise being ranked in of my countdown hold more with the next so level being ranked in the countdown is, the Magic Crafters homeworld level from Spyro 1. For me personally aside from of the Dream Wavers Homeworld which has yet to appear in of the countdown in as a write-up, I found Magic Crafters to me own personal favorite homeworld level from Spyro 1 thanks to how majestic, beautiful and unique the main level design of the main gameplay is and how it introduced important key features of level design to that of the series such as the supercharge.

As for as homeworld levels go, Magic Crafters was definitely one of my favorites from the series overall from all three Spyro PS1 games and a very good level to that fitting the style of the Spyro series well with of the just as unique charm and personality of the level of so with the main gameplay design of the homeworld. Very good level overall in compared to the just as great remaining levels left to rank in for the countdown, IMO.

One of the biggest highlights of what and why I have the Magic Crafters Homeworld ranked this high in for the countdown is of how like I stated earlier, it introduced revolutionary gameplay elements that make the Spyro PS1 games unlike any other platforming genre franchise out there and that is with the use of the supercharge ability to jump from thing to thing with and this concept element became a unique feature of so to the Spyro PS1 games and it was great to use in for other Spyro 1 levels that used this concept well in for very fun ways for the player to explore and use in such as the High Caves and Haunted Towers levels from the same game.

For the time being when I was younger, this would make for more challenging elements to explore in for the Spyro series well in and this is one thing that you can't help but enjoy the Magic Crafters Homeworld in for because of this element. By far the Supercharge ability was my favorite gameplay element to perform in from every single Spyro PS1 game and this is saying a lot because, it adds charm well in for unique level design in levels for the series. As far as the presentation and style go in for Magic Crafters, I love the calm and cool nature of the homeworld with style that helped on bringing more charm of such to future levels of the like in the later Spyro PS1 games out there like so for the main level design in of the homeworld, giving more reasons on why I really liked Magic Crafters well in for the series.

Overall, very great homeworld of a level of such to the series and a great level as a whole from this entire classic franchise. Not much else to say other then every type of Spyro PS1 fan out there should have some form of entertainment valve in much like the remaining 40 or so levels there are left to rank in of the countdown.
