Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly - AntDude 

I would not mind a remake of ETD in the style of Reignited. Fix the glitches, and restore cut worlds or even add new ones.

When you unknowingly predict Spyro Reignited.

Tashistation is a Star Wars reference.

5:36 has happened to me on PS2 before, I thought my PS2 or the controller were broken but clearly not!

Fun Fact: Not only did Check 6 and Universal leave their employees starving and nearly killed one by choking. But shortly after Enter The Dragonfly’s release both companies shut down forever

Can we just say this game isn't canon?

Somewhat obvious Fun fact: the professor voice is Tom Kenny, who also originally voiced Spyro. He’s also Spongebob, the mayor from powerpuff girls and a crap ton of other characters from our childhood.

As a child, i have to admit that i quite enjoyed Enter the Dragonfly. Back then i was about 6 -7 years old when i played it for the first time. Replaying it was a mistake, oh boy I literally couldn‘t remember the game being that bad as it unfortunately is now. Crazy that i never recognized this as a child. That was a few years ago. Well yeah, I have nothing more to say. Only that this game never affected my love to the original Trilogy.

2:19 i sense a Square Eyed Jak reference

To be fair, Bowser falls in lava all the time and he always comes back

My favorite nickname for this game is "Spyro '02". I'm sure you can figure out why...

I had the PS2 version of this game myself and while not Sonic '06 bad, apparently the PS2 version has even worse loading times than the GameCube version does. The loading screens have loading screens, and even worse is that sometimes the game would freeze at random during loading screens.

Was my first Spyro game and I enjoyed it and I don't remember any bad bugs then again this was lonnng time ago roofl. The music was nice too.

Luke went to get some power converters from Tashistation

9:33 On one side, this is a good thing, not having to deal with his greedy ass robbing you when you want to complete a level On the other side, if he WAS kept in the game, they obviously should've given you the chance to beat him up for a refund, that's the only way he could be kept likable.

Thay are making a spyro remake of the first 3 games

Never stopped moving for me ever and the framerate never dropped it was always 60fps for me and sound was never a problem

My response to the opening: just wait until 2018

Tashistation... hmm. Guess that dragonfly needed to join Luke to buy some power converters.

Not gonna lie, this was my first Spyro game.... I was a child so I didn’t notice that the game was bad. But it got me into Spyro so it did something right

The reason why Ripto is back is because he has Bowser Syndrome: even if it appears he does in lava and all his skin is burned off, he still comes back for the next game.

Enter the Dragonfly is what happens when the publishers forces their developers into pushing out their games by Christmas rather than next year and give them more time to actually put in some content.

My first Spyro game. The worst one in the series.

Dude the firefly just wanted to get some *Power* *Converters* from Tosche Station!

After watching a really good documentary about the development of this game, I realize how this poor franchise went into one of the most heavy and worst development process ever in gaming. Employees on Check Six were starving, with no health insurance and even one of them almost killed another by choking him.

"hunter awaaaaay" MY FAVORITE PART

2:16 Ah yes, Hunter mid-sneeze. *P E R F E C T*

looool i clicked this completely expecting good nostalgic review of one of my favorite games as a kid.. had no idea / memory of it being bad. i do remember it being laggy though. but wow !! didn't realize people hated it

But I was gonna go to Tashistation to pick up some power converters!

No one: Not even a single soul: Hunter: WOAHHHHHHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHH

Enter the Dragonfly = The Sonic 06 of the Spyro Series.

Is no ome going to mention that tashistation is a misspelled Star Wars reference?

I remember playing this as a child and discovering a spot in the gate between the main area and the farm were you can charge and pass through without the electro breath. I felt like a boss

Well, Copland played through each level to get a feel for it before doing the music in the originals, so maybe he couldn't be arsed playing these levels more than once so that's why the music isn't as good?

if you ever have 2 hours to spare, Mr. FO1 made a fantastic documentary talking about enter the dragonfly and the issues it faced. even got a hold of some of the people who worked on it. its a bit of a wild documentary

8:57 The subtitle read:"Gosh, thank you, Spyro!", but the voice actor said:"Egads! Thank you, Spyro! *unfitting growl*"

While the environments in this game look fine, the character models look like complete garbage.

Get ready for some frame rate drops.

Welp, looks like i'm gonna name my future child Tashistation now.

I remember a dragonfly named "Scuttlebutt"

The game was really rushed which wasn’t the fault of the developer so it’s not "lazy developers" (6:20). It would’ve been them working a lot of overtime most likely.

The 1 dislike is named TashiStation

Did Tashistation give you any power converters?

A little while ago I sent my copy of this game to James Rolfe (AKA The Angry Video Game Nerd), and just recently I got an Email from him saying he received it! Which means there's a good chance that there just might be an AVGN review of Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly in the future!

First Spyro game I ever played... *I still kind of defend it to this day*

Hunter! AWAY! XD

At the end of Spyro 2 you could actually see a picture of ripto still alive after the game hanging his by his foot on fire being held by one of the dragons from spyro 1

Fun fact: this game was labeled as Greatest Hits on PS2. Why

2:23 Y'all came for this...admit it

Say what you will about Crash: Wrath of Cortex, it was at least finished (and the load times were only atrocious in the early releases).

Fun fact: a kid got seizures from this game's frame rate.

I remember derping around in this game wondering what the heck to do and beating Ripto within minutes. To this day I still wonder how I even finished the game. :/

It's interesting, I technically played the first game first, but I was so young I barely remember it, since my friend owned it. so naturally, when I got the PlayStation 2, I jumped on buying this game, and even as a kid I knew something was wrong. Finding that water flying glitch made it worth playing though. Lol

Kinda feels a lil harsh to say the devs were being lazy when you acknowledged that they were rushed to finish it and had to cut content out to get it released. Blame the publisher, not the overworked development team.

I found out what Sony is gonna name their next console. THE TASHISTATION!!!

Season of Ice came out before Enter The Dragonfly and it was a good game.

The PS2 version has a loading screen... _for the loading screen._ I kid you not.

Developers: We've only finished half the game! We can't ship this! Universal: ChRiStMaS

Why is everybody in the game high? Because the game itself is also high

What a coincidence! I just picked this up on GameCube yesterday! Started playing it today and really enjoying it! The framerate is pretty bad though!

When are you gonna continue the Kingdom Hearts Retrospective with Birth By Sleep: Final Mix?

Please stop saying "the developers were lazy" when there are any number of other possible explanations. I don't know about this case at all, but Sonic Boom is a good example of one where the publishing company basically fucked over the actual developers. The people who made it actually worked incredibly hard, often being forced to work overtime just to try and make something presentable; it obviously didn't work about, but that's not the fault of the people who made it, given that they were both rushed and forced to try and make it work on a system that didn't natively support the engine the game was made in (among other things; Sonic Boom's development was quite the shitshow). You fucking said it yourself at the end; if you knew it was rushed, why did you call them lazy?

Bowser was dropped into lava multiple times, yet no one says anything when he comes back.

8:31 To be fair, Spyro 3 led you from start to end in the speedways. It was nothing like the original, which had you find out a good order to take the objectives with little input other than placing you in front of a set. Spyro 2 was half-way between 1 and 2 in terms of it's speedways as you did in a way have to figure out the order yourself, but it made it easier to transition from one set to another, meaning that you didn't have the same level of trial and error of failing because you went the wrong way and ran out of time. With 3, it was very much just, "go through these rings, now charge through those enemies", and so on. Spyro 1's speedways started with having to more or less find your own way through them. Spyro 2 started to line up the objectives which made it a lot easier to get everything in one go, but still had a little more involvement from 1. And Spyro 3 went even further by literally just lining up one set after another meaning that if you failed, it's because you were looking for Hunter before completing the time trial. I say this, not because I dislike how Spyro 3 did it, because I did enjoy breezing through the speedways. Rather, it was just to note that it's not that different than just telling you what to do in order. Granted, telling your player how to do something as simple as the speedway is just another example of them not having the time to make a proper game (then again, nothing says that they would have made a great Spyro game _even_ with time and money). If they gave you an ordered list in Spyro 1, then it would take away part of the fun; if they did the same with Spyro 3, it wouldn't make a difference other than just being annoying that they told you what to do.

Spyro: enter the bullshit

Why am I watching this when there's 6 feet of water outside of my house?

I also 100% this game as a child. I had no life, and I did not despise the game that much, but I didn't truly enjoy it. If I were to play it today then I would fucking hate it. I'm all for this game being remade. I don't know if you can make anything good, but it can't be any worse.

This one and "a hero's tail" should be remade as dlc for the reignited trilogy

Tashistation must be Luke Skywalker's dragonfly :P "The 'Fly will be with you. Always."

Okay two criticism bothered me. 1. Ending the level by opening a door back to the beginning making it a giant circle. That was in Year of the Dragon as well. Every stage as a matter of fact. Yet you made it sound like a point against this game. 2. Sparx telling you the speedway order. This was also in Year of the Dragon. You cannot make this game sound bad for doing things the previous did, while at the same time painting said previous game, as a classic. To be fair, you did say those games weren't flawless.

9:38 So there is a bright side to this game; very little Moneybags.

I actually really enjoyed this game

I kinda liked this game, or is this the wrong game? Yeah this is the game I used to like! Another thing is that after playing newer games, going back to old games like this makes them look weird.

There needs to be a full on remake of this.

"Hunter Awaaayy..."

Oh yes - you have no idea how I was looking forward to playing this when it first came out, only to be horribly disappointed! The frame rate varies depending on the graphic complexity, the game is FULL of glitches (I've had Spyro doing his fall animation while flat on the ground) and the bubble breath seems kinda random whether you get the dragonfly or not!

What about the Loading times?

10:24 rest in peace in peace

I don’t think this game deserves all the hate it gets. I get it’s full of glitches, but look at the positives, good graphics, puzzles, soundtracks amazing, unique levels & level designs etc. You can’t really hate the game because it’s technically not even finished. Spyro : ETD isn’t a horrible game, it’s an unfinished project. & I can guarantee 100% this game would’ve been amazing. Also, I know the Frame Rate issues are a problem, but most people who played this game first were kids or at least very young & who is really paying attention to the frame rate as a 7-10 year old kid ? (Don’t get me wrong I totally understand the hate, but I feel like people kinda drag it sometimes) Ps : Love the Pokémon BW reference ❤️

Ah yes, Enter the Dragonfly. The only game I've felt compelled to physically destroy.

I actually love this game. I never really noticed the flaws and never really had issues. But it's probably because my Spyro Enter the Dragonfly game is for the PS2. I will only play Spyro games on PlayStation since that is its original base. Besides the Spyro the Dragon original 1998 game, this game is my second favorite. :)

2:23 never fails to make me laugh for some reason

Thank god you uploaded! I was in an endless loop of criticizing month old RU-vid videoes.

*gasp* IT'S SONIC

Hero's Tail was great, it was like the Twinsanity of Spyro.

9:35 Shouldn't you be happy, you always treat the guy like crap

Honestly, of all the Spyro games, I think this one deserves a remake the most. Lord knows it definitely NEEDS it the most, but I’d really love a chance for the game to be done well. I mean, let’s be honest, it’s not like this game could be any worse, so why not give it a chance? The bar is not that high guys

why are some company's so stupid? have you seen what happens when dev's are forced to rush games yeah let me list some sonic 06, this game, you get what i mean? at least we are getting spyro remastered yay

"Rip in peace" Rest in peace in peace -AntDude 2017

Wanna hear something sad? This was my first Spyro game...

I loved this game when I first played it. Sure the controls were bad but it was still fun

How does he not have 1 million subscribers yet! He is so good!

Technically, this is Ripto’s third appearance (he first returned in Season of Flame) Update (after 3 years, amd stumbling on this video again): This game is a guilty pleasure. The fact of the game being rushed doesn't begin to cover it. Mr.FO1 goes into greater detail in a documentary he made on the game. Some key facts (from the top of my head): Everytime the developers got a level 99% done, Universal would tell them to scrap the level. Check6 (english) and Equinox (japanese) had a language barrier that Universal did NOT remedy. The game actually got cancelled. Check6 actually hid a lot of easter eggs to some of the movies they watched in order to cheer themselves up from the contitions (the game's name came from "Enter the Dragon", and the "Check Six Special Thanks" credited Goku and Chichi) Is the game worth your time I.M.O.? Yeah, but cautionally... If anyone does play it, either real hardware or emulated to force-lock it to stability, have something to do on the side to pass the loading times (to me, the load times are NOT as bad as Sonic 06)

I liked it as a kid......

Oddly enough, about 2/5 of my childhood was Enter The Dragonfly. And it being the first game that I had that had to do with Spyro. ...great.

I know it's a weird name, it's alright.

4:53 I have to go now, my planet needs me.

3:00 the sorceress did the same thing though.

I lost it at Tashistation

I still liked the game. Especially the Thieves world. I would love this to get a 'Finished Edition' Remake that fixes the problems.
