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.

59. 44: Sunny Villa

Speaking of Spyro PS1 levels introducing fresh and unique styles of gameplay in from all three games of the franchise as a whole unlike anything out there from any Video Game franchise ever made with the Magic Crafters Homeworld first introducing us to the main Supercharge mechanic in of the series, Sunny Villa from Spyro 3 introduced fans to the series with what I feel are the best side-quest gameplay concept to take in part of the series overall in as and that is the ever very fun and unique Tony Hawk like skateboarding park mini-games you could take in part of the level with for Hunter and regardless even though this concept was really optional of such in of Sunny Villa, it's always nice for every Spyro level out there introduce something new and refreshing and this is something that Sunny Villa did at right.

As an overall level other then of one minor flaw I had with of how I felt the level was a little too much on the easy side with and for that main reason why I can't have Sunny Villa ranked any higher in the countdown, I found Sunny Villa from Spyro 3 to be a pretty good level overall to that. Not the best out there but, far from the worst and earns marks as a very good level at that overall which is more then good enough IMO, to have it posted in the top half section of levels in the countdown.

For most people out there that played of Spyro 3 for the first time, it's likely more often then not that Sunny Villa was the first real main level you played through in of the game and I have to say that while also introducing the player with the fun skateboarding mini-games to take part of in, Sunny Villa was a nice level for any type of Spyro player to enjoy in and that includes the main Spyro experts to people new to this classic franchise. Sunny Villa was large enough of a level to take in part of in that no two sections of a level during a play run of Spyro 3 play out the same and that is a great thing. Simple and fun are the best words to describe Sunny Villa in a nutshell, IMO and was a level that was enjoyable for pretty much every Spyro PS1 fan out there.

While Sunny Villa was fantastic overall, the biggest flaw I had Sunny Villa overall is that and such why I cannot have it ranked any higher in the countdown is that, I felt the main enemies you come across in of Sunny Villa were a bit to much on the easy side. Other then of the main big enemies you come across in of Sunny Villa with clubs, there was simply no other way you could die in of the level and I felt while I understand that it's the beginning level of such in Spyro 3, it would of have been nice haven't the first and final real level from the Spyro PS1 series have the final like beginning world to the overall franchise go out as a unique and hard level to that rather then of a unique and easy level of such of what Sunny Villa was for most of the time in for most players could feel on in of Spyro 3.

Issues aside, Sunny Villa was a great level. While I felt more from the main level design could of been made harder in of the level and become even better as level as a whole and ranked higher in so with for the countdown, Sunny Villa was still a great level of such fitting in as a Spyro level well in despite being a little too easy in terms of gameplay for the player to take in part of in for Sunny Villa. Overall, pretty good level.
