    Well last month was Enter the Dragonfly, this month is A Hero's Tail. I'm happy to finally be trying out some of the GameCube's most well known platforming games as I actually never got to play these games originally. The question is, does it play better than the prequel? I'd say yes, mostly. Enter the Dragonfly seems widely known for it's glitches which don't seem to be an issue in this sequel. The graphics are also changed (better, imo) and you're no longer required to collect ALL gems for 100% completion! That's major. The game uses gems as currency now and can be used to buy a few upgrades but mostly health replenishing and extra ammo. I'm just so used to breaking boxes that I ended up with way more gems than I really needed.
    So the collection of gems has basically been replaced with collecting light gems and dinosaur eggs. There's a lot of them, but they're much easier to find than checking every nook n cranny for gems. The dinosaur eggs only offer bonuses such as being able to play minigames from the main menu, concept art or changing your character to Ember. By the time you have the eggs collected, it's pretty much the end of the game already unfortunately, but it's fun for those who are interested in messing around in the map post-game. The light gems, however, are required to open specific areas/doors. Much like Super Mario 64 or many other platforming games (11:50)
    All in all, both Enter the Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail have good and bad things about them. I found both of them to be enjoyable, but this one was certainly a lot easier to record due to not requiring every gem.

    I loved all the little secrets and environments in this game. Hated some of the mini games but they made the eggs a challenge to be satisfied about beating. I also appreciated the varying colors and designs of the dragon eggs.

    Red coins and Power Stars = Mario
    Heart Pieces = Zelda

      @@longplayarchive Man, that's a BIG pity. It really gave that scene that magic touch. But, in that case, it might be a good idea to re-upload Lego Star Wars 2 and Lego Indiana Jones, which still have the copyrighted music included, and Lego Indiana Jones is also high-pitched, which is indeed kinda distracting. Then i'd rather watch it without music, honestly.
      As for the KH upload, thanks for still making it one video.
      As for THIS upload, how did you like this Spyro entry, especially when compared to Enter the Dragonfly?

      @longplayarchive  3 года назад +1

      Thanks again. I believe Addy plans on re-doing Indiana Jones soon and I need to make a note for myself to re-do Star Wars II then. As for the game, I plan to post a pinned comment after I wrote the timecodes but in short.. it’s definitely less glitchy than Enter the Dragonfly and it was nice not having to collect *every single gem*. The game is a lot better imo, but the controls didn’t work great and Spyro would often circle around if I used the joystick too aggressively or something. You’ll notice him circling quite a bit in this video. It’s like that spin attack move in Zelda but without an actual attack
