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.

95. 8: Tree Tops

If you go and ask any Spyro PS1 fan out there that at least played Spyro 1 out there in of this classic franchise, at least come up with thoughts on and memories on Tree Tops which is known as one of the most challenging, unique and fun levels out there from all three Spyro PS1 games out there and as such for me on as a whole, IMO. As such thanks to how much action there goes in for Tree Tops, easily ranks highly in of my countdown and another level of such that ranks in of the countdown as a true classic of such of a level from any Video Game, I have ever played.

Sure, there are a few fans out there where they would state on the challenge gameplay style in of Tree Tops can get to be too frustrating and annoying at times in to play through of this level but, this added on what and why on how Tree Tops is a very nice level of such in this series and as such, earns of what and why on why I love this level so much that it earns a high so placement in of my countdown. Such an amazing level.

Easily the best of the such gameplay elements that take in place of Tree Tops that easily rank it high in of the Spyro PS1 levels of such out there from the series is, how unique and challenging it can get and never really that much on a cheap way factor of such for me at least. Tree Tops was the first real challenging and complex level out there from the Spyro PS1 franchise and it's nice to see a level of such out there do something unique and add cool factors of such to the gameplay to the player and for me, this worked so well in for Tree Tops as every fun little challenging element action going in for this level was very unique, smooth and fun to mess around in.

You go from often traveling from supercharge platform to platform in of Tree Tops in order to complete the level and testing out your true skills out that you learn in from earlier Spyro 1 levels out there and have the best of time with you can, in of the level and as such added really dynamic and clever level design going in for Tree Tops such as using these skills to take down placed down locked metal treasure chests in the level to reaching at the top to rescue some of the hardest dragons out there from Spyro 1 and to taking down purple gem egg thief hiding at the top of the main like tree structures out there of the level.

No other level out there from when I was younger too even now today with being an older gamer, Tree Tops remains as one of the most hardest and original levels out there I have ever played from all three Spyro PS1 games and as such earns on why I love the level so much on in that it's deserving of so being ranked high in of the countdown. Even including non-gameplay elements out there in of the level like the catchy, soft and serious music that plays in for Tree Tops added a nice tone of emotion for me for every single time of such I played through in for this amazing level, adding more charm for the benefit to make Tree Tops an even better level overall in, IMO.

Overall, Tree Tops remains as a true classic of a level out there from all three Spyro PS1 games thanks to the very original and hard as nails gameplay elements going in for the level. As such, earns Tree Tops a nice placement in my heart as one of the most enjoyable levels I love playing through in of the Platformer genre in gaming as a whole like so for the remaining seven Spyro PS1 levels there are left to rank in of the countdown and as such earns Tree Tops this high ranking in the countdown.
