When the game begins, the Dragon Realms are being attacked and wise elder Ignitus is charged with saving the precious dragon eggs. In a shocking turn, The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is set before the previous games and rewrites his story, introducing a few famous voices, some new friends and enemies and some really, really cool moves. Now the good folks at Vivendi have unleashed yet another Spyro title for the PS2 and this one goes right back to the beginning. (On second thoughts, I suppose the two numbers probably coincided.) Anyway, Spyro soon became the unofficial icon - the poster-dragon, if you will - of the PSone, but a series of terrible PS2 titles changed all this. Eight years have passed since those carefree days of gorgeous PSone worlds, enemies who were more comic than scary and gameplay which included more movie parodies than you could shake a dragon at. Once upon a time in the far away land of the Dragon Realms, there was a young purple dragon who spent his days charging into sheep, Gnorcs and Rynocs until they went poof and turned into butterflies and sparkly oh-so-collectable gems.
