mh:awesomegames:Spyro the Dragon is a 1998 platformer video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. While it is a good game, the Japanese version is the opposite.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The main problem with this version is the camera, you literally can not see were you are going most of the time.
 * 2) The signs appear to function weirdly, since in order to read them, you will need to flame them. This can be a problem if you are trying to defeat an enemy.
 * 3) Sparx is green all of the time, making it hard to tell what your health is.
 * 4) The levels are labeled in order, for example, Stone Hill is labeled 1-1, despite this, you can complete the levels in any order.
 * 5) When you are charging, you go as the same speed as you walk, which means you charge slower.
 * 6) It ruined the chance of Spyro being well-known in Japan!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) At least the gameplay is still faithful to the other versions.
 * 2) The voice acting is great, Spyro's voice can also be cute.
 * 3) The Japanese version of the sequel is actually an improvement due to the fact that there is an option to change the camera.
 * 4) At least the flight levels play the same, expect when you touch the ground.
