It won't always happen, but there are reports of it.Īfter talking to Moneybags (though do it before talking to him) you'll need to collect at least 500 gems and then go back and talk to Moneybags again. Therefore, collect at least 500 gems before talking to Moneybags just to be safe. While the game recommends you go talk to Moneybags, I recommend that you don't as it can cause a glitch to occur which means that you can't access his shop properly once you do get 500 gems. Trina is a small fairy that will popup at random points to tell you about things, mostly only useful if you're brand new to the Spyro series though some of it will be useful for those of you who have played previous games.

It may not be classic Spyro, but it redefines the identity of the whole series.A rather annoying help feature will be displayed straight away. Overall, this game is a huge step up from the glitchy Enter the Dragonfly. They are all unique and exciting and diverse, yet you can tell they share a common base. But I think what I enjoy most of all about the game is the music! Each level's track really helps define the environment just as much as the visual aspect. I like Spyro's breath abilities and puzzle-solving, like the water wheels and electrical machinery. A level here is more of an environment rather than a start-to-finish path like the earlier games. The levels fit together better since you can walk between them (within each realm) rather than using portals, and they are much larger. I love the smooth, polished graphics and fun feel of the game. As a fan of Spyro, I have to say this is my favorite game in the series. Travel through worlds of ice, volcanoes, and everything in between!Īnd now the review. Venture underground for more mini-levels with a new ally, Blink the Mole. Supercharging takes on a new meaning! Hunter and Sparx are playable characters in certain areas, and Sgt. You gain the ability to double jump, climb certain walls, and teleport between different locations. In addition to flame breath, Spyro can now breathe water, ice, and electricity to defeat various enemies faster and solve some puzzles. Old friends (and enemies) return and new ones are introduced as you help Spyro collect eggs and Light Gems, while destroying Dark Gems to rid the land of Red's influence.

Spyro returns for another adventure as he travels through new magical lands to stop the evil ex-dragon-elder Red from taking over the world. Spyro: A Hero's Tail is the fifth game in the Spyro series and the second one released on PS2.
