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.

98. 5: Spooky Swamp

Spooky Swamp on all fronts from Spyro 3, was simply a fantastic level and every little slight detail of note that played a role in for the level, was highly original, unique and fun. This includes from ever getting the main mixed platforming sections of the gameplay that is normally seen in unlike other Spyro 3 levels out there in of Spooky Swamp, put the test in for the player. Thanks to high sense amount of style, personality, unique, variety and fun that surrounds in for Spooky Swamp help overall make up for such a wonderful and one of the best levels out there I have ever played in the series.

The biggest gameplay design that sticks out in of Spooky Swamp helping it being very unique and one of the most entertaining levels out there in of the Spyro PS1 Trilogy is how everything is changed within the main level design of such in Spooky Swamp. Unlike where you were able to master around freely in the water of other Spyro 3 levels out there, in Spooky Swamp you have to master around on focus less of such on this as the main water is surrounded by piranhas of the level. This did not hinder the level by any means. In of Spooky Swamp, you have to focus your mind and thoughts to the test with the main platforming like levels your learned from earlier Spyro levels out there put to good use in of the level from reaching high covered trees in the level in order to finish the start from start to finish in.

From beginning to end of what I have played from Spooky Swamp, the lack of being able to have use on water out there in Spooky Swamp, grew on me as every little detail in of the main level design of such going in for this amazing level, mixed well together in making up for highly original explore main platforming action to explore in of the level and some of the most unique and fun I have ever played in from any Spyro PS1 level out there. This also helped on making the level fairly challenging to play through and I always love a nice challenging level out there from any Video Game.

Everything was unique, charming and fresh in of the main gameplay going in for Spooky Swamp, I always had a blast with the level in from start to finish and getting feeling like the level ever gets boring or annoying for me to play through in. Because so, helps to make up for not only one of the best levels out there in from the Spyro PS1 games but, one of the most finest and unique moments I have ever played from a video game and that says from me to tell you on how I feel at least how fantastic the Spyro PS1 games are.

I love the high amount of nice style going in of the level as I felt the serious rainy and quiet tone of music that happened and appeared in of Spooky Swamp was very nice and moody for a level like this adding more charm on why I love this level so much. Also, I love how each and every character you come in contact of the level talked in haiku. Added a weird, but cool sense of personality to the characters of such you interact with in of the level.

Overall, Spooky Swamp was a glorious, beautiful and amazing level overall in to that from all three Spyro PS1 games thanks to how everything was fresh, unique and most importantly very fun to take around in making for easily one of my best and favorite levels out there from the series. As such, earns Spooky Swamp this high ranking in of the countdown.
