- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- This might just be one of the worst games I've ever played. And I've played a LOT of games. As someone who loves the first three Spyro games, I was very excited to see what this fourth installment had to offer... and did it live up to my excitement? Well, obviously not, but watch the video to find out why!
Hope you enjoy :]

The reason why spyro enter the dragonfly was so bad because it was rushed in development for the holiday season, same thing like sonic 06 did was also rushed in development for the holiday season too with bugs, glitches, poor controls, poor physics, poor camera, long loading times, terrible frame rate, terrible character models, bad story, cut contents, and other issues.
Thank you so much for including the first second of the intro with Hunter more than once. It's just what I needed from a video about this game
Im so glad someone appreciates it. I nearly died laughing when I saw it the first time
Fun fact: this game has one of the most comicaly short speedruns in gaming history.
The reason why the game ended up the way it did was Universal. The guy in charge of executive producing the project and managing the contractors (Equinoxe and Check Six) didn't have a background in video games, but kept asking for changes almost every week, to the point where they only finalized the production bible six months before release. The original production bible was completed a year or two in advance, but the constant changes requested by Universal (sometimes, they won't even provide a reason for the change), made the development of the game untenable. The developers had to present at E3 with only one working level. There was massive crunch before the release date to complete the nine levels. I am actually amazed that they made all this in such a small amount of time. Universal was awful. No wonder Naughty Dog and Insomniac ditched them as soon as their contracts were up. They got very lucky that they had Sony's backing while developing Crash & Spyro. Every developer that worked for them suffered. P.S. There was so much stress during the development of this game that Equinoxe and Check Six ended up hating each other, there was someone who tried to murder a co-worker, and a treasurer was stealing from the project.
Not only all of that but they got 0 assets from prior games and had to make everything ground up for two systems they had no experience with.
Not gonna lie, i think if they didnt gave the developers so much trouble during production and released it later, it could have been a worthy followup to year of the dragon
I did hear that the developers went through hell with this game, which is unfortunate. But at least the final product, although a trash fire, is amusing!
It’s super sad knowing that there where multiple level ideas that the team intended on implementing, even to the extent of having entire levels (cutthroat cove, enchanted forest - I do not remember the other one unfortunately) which where cut by universal because the concepts weren’t ‘spyro’ or even weren’t ‘kid friendly enough’ due to the fact that the team also intended for the game to be a tad more aimed towards teenagers, as the fans who had played 1-3 had grown to be around that age range.
@@some.mysteriousmf *EXACTLY.* people overlook a lot of things, it seems like; let alone the soundtracks? Holy fuck, do they ever make a level what it is to some extent.
I feel like it holds charm, with how broken it can be. It’s not on the team whatsoever, and I wish people would start bashing universal instead for the mistakes that where made.
i love dreaming about what this game could have been. the idea for it is spectacular. if it were properly executed, i think this would have been many peoples favorite Spyro game.
As a Sonic fan I relate a lot to this comment a lot lol.
@@IllusiveDev yes!!!! same goes with that franchise!!!
I would describe a Heros tail as what enter the dragon tried to be, in my opinion spyro a heros tail is pretty great actually. enter the dragon fly was attempting to make larger levels, a heros tail actually succeeded at making larger level that were very fun to play. the alternet character sections in spyro 3 were not that good honestly, the Hunter levels in spyro a heros tail were fucking amazing, same gameplay as playing as spyro, so not a minigame, just you get to play as Hunter, and Hunters moveset is actually just as well done as spyros moveset.
I will agree with you on the fact that some of the worlds in this game were still very much spectacular in designs and concept. Like Thieves' Den, Honey Marsh, Cloud 9 and Jurassic Jungle for example, were all very cool concepts, but the gameplay and the way most of them are designed and the layout is what ruined them completely, which is probably why they never returned in any of the other games/remasters afterwards.
I will say one thing, that the modders have come through for us and from what I know, they have actively been working on a fanmade Spyro game called "Spyro: Return of the Dragonfly", which is basically a remake and remaster of Enter The Dragonfly, but better in every way, like how it should be. It uses lots of assets and models from the Remastered trilogy and from what I've seen, it looks really good right off the bat. I would highly recommend you to check that out.
I’m totally up for a playable version of Enter the Dragonfly. I’ll have to check it out for sure
This is the game that taught 8 year old me that sequels to things I loved could be awful. Pretty sure I owe this game for teaching me about cynicism.
You’re not alone, my spirit was crushed by this game as well
I’d love to see someone make Spyro 4 and pretend this one didn’t exist.
They did it with Crash so not impossible.
I wish this game will be reincarnated.
Just like TWoC was reincarnated and reimagined to It's About Time.
you are hilarious, i subbed ((: i am currently sitting in a Spyro onesie at my work desk on this good Halloween day. tbh, Enter The Dragonfly is a game i still play today when i want those monotonous/mindless/repetitive tasks. it has nostalgia for me and it is a funny and relaxing (at times, mildly infuriating, but mostly relaxing) game to play for me, personally. part of the joy of playing it, for me, IS how terrible it is. i completely understand the distain for it, though and am well aware that i am a minority in having love for it 😅❤ also, i think i am just a sucker for bubble breath. if only it worked more than 10% if the time. sigh.
I love this game, got it when I was 11. Regardless, great video, and the toilet analogy had me dying
Cheers for watching mate. Glad you got a good laugh out of it!
Finally, a RUclips video properly tearing this game apart. I'm not finished yet but I hope he talks about how you can beat the game in like... One minute
I had no idea that was possible and now I have to see it
Thank you for going in depth about this game, even as a kid who played Spyro 2 and 3 when I was very young I didn’t like this one because it felt… off and not as fun, and the more I watch of this game the more disaster out it seems. I tried playing it again a few years ago but on boot up it lagged so bad I decided to instantly quit. You’re a trooper for playing this one for this video and you’re also so underrated and need more subscribers btw.
Something Bizarre about the game is, sometimes, the characters spoke spanish in a game in english
I liked this game when I was 5 but now being 20 this is up there in my collection as one of the worst playable games I have. My main issue was the levels are huge with nothing to do in them and then there’s only like 6 levels in the entire game. All the glitches and bugs and the game feeling like an unfinished beta build just enhances the pain
I mean Spyro A Hero's Tail (Spyro 5)
The electric breathe you mention did happen it does have long range but the cache is it takes longer to defeat enemies (2 seconds) but it can also destroy metal chests too
Now that’s more like it. I’ve never even heard of that game I may have to check it out for a video
@@Torran2Glitchy Yes you should Spyro a Hero's Tail is a better game then Enter the Dragonfly and it is last sequel that uses the classic PS1 formula before he fell into the awful reboot The Legend of a Spyro Trilogy
Once this game had It's own Bizzaro Sequel with It's About Time with Crash; Spyro will be back In the proper spotlight again outside of his remastered trilogy series and other haters who defends this game all they want for I don't car, especially for Nuts And Bolts once Threeie becomes an official reality!
If the next Spyro game is as bad as Enter the Dragonfly I’m probably gonna puke. Hoping for the best
The country accent you used at 15:07 for the rant was funny fam.
The honey slide dragonfly on the PS2 version is only obtainable if you run around the npc mashing the triangle button to make the dialogue interaction actually trigger properly. It's damn near broken, and I feel sorry for the kids who stopped at that part back in the day because they thought 100% was impossible and didn't have access to the gamecube release.
Personally when I played this game I enjoyed it, even though it's very unpolished.
The main reason that I enjoyed it is because this game at least has the same collect-a-thon as the first trilogy compared to the following games after a hero's tail.
It was a shame, I really tired to love this game. And my favorite level was the farm world even though it was super easy. But my version was glitched and couldn't 100% the game cause there was 4 gems I could never get in the cloud world.
I was interested in this video because of the Wrath of Cortex video
But 15:06 made me sub LMAO great stuff
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed the videos :]
The was rushed during development. Mattmc muscle did a whole video about the game
I had a feeling there must’ve been some issues during development. There’s no way anyone would be willing to release a game in such a state otherwise. Good to know there’s a least a reason for it
I wonder for the remaster they'll add enter the dragon fly, a hero's tail and eternal night since they remade 3 games together
I still love it, guess it's childhood nostalgia
I think Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly is over hated. By far the worst part of the game are the bugs and glitches, and while I can understand why that might ruin the game for some, if you can look past that, it’s actually the last Spyro game that stays true to the original trilogy.
You know what else came out in 2002? Star Fox Adventures. That game looks beautiful. Granted, it's on gamecube which had better graphics than PS2 but still.
This game was one of the biggest betrayals of my childhood
I don’t suppose giving enter the dragonfly a reignited makeover would fix it?
If Enter the Dragonfly was to be remade “reignited style”, they would need to make a lot of changes to fix it. They’d need to change the level structure to make it smaller and less tedious and also make better use of the breaths, they’d need to somehow improve or replace all the terrible side missions, and they’d probably need to add it a whole bunch of new content (new levels, for example) to make it worth buying. At that point, you may as well just make a new Spyro game from scratch
But hey, if they think they can turn Enter the Dragonfly into a good game, I’m open to the idea and I’d like to see how well they’d do
U made me laugh a few times i like ur delivery you got a sub from me bruv 👍🏼
Great video! Hello I speedrun this game and as someone who absolutely loves this game I gotta say, yeah ur right lol
But to address the game crashing if you were playing on PS2 that is most definitely the reason, GameCube will almost never crash. But still shouldn't be a problem to begin with lol
Everything else is hilariously true
I would ask what horrifically traumatic event led you to speedrunning enter the dragonfly but I don’t want to dig up any bad memories
Good to know that the other versions of the game can at least hold itself together. And I’m glad you enjoyed the video :]
17:03 ironic that you mangled the audio volume at this point lol
The controls are glitchy! That honeycomb world with the tank shooting the targets is so f*****g stressful it took me forever to complete it!
I actually like Spyro Enter The Dragonfly and Sonic 06 and they deserve remastered versions of them.
Sonic and Spyro deserve remastered versions of their games.
We need a remastered version of Spyro A Hero's Tail Spyro Shadow Legacy Shadow the Hedgehog Sonic 06 Sonic Unleashed Sonic and The Secret Rings and Sonic and The Black Knight Sonic Adventure Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Heroes.
Anyone else agree?
This was the first Spyro console game I played.
Not to mention Jak and Daxter came out in 2001 (a year before enter the dragonfly)
i never even bothered finishing it
Can’t blame you. It isn’t worth the effort
We need a true spyro 4 so we can pretend that this one doesn’t exist.
Disappointed you didn't say the developers looked at the blocked toilet and instead of unblocking it they decided to take a massive shit in it. 😂
Did you play this on a PS2? I'm playing this right now, but the framerate drops and extreme lag is so frustrating.
This was the PS2 version yes. And I agree, it was very irritating. Even more so when making this video. It took a long time trying to find footage to use that didn’t look like total dogshit
It was also an unfinished and rushed game don't forget it.
The developers couldn't do anything and Universal forced them to finish it before the Holiday season.
Ugh, this looks just awful. Imagine a biology assignment in which you must simply watch a dragonfly nymph shed his egg...
2018... wasn't that... 7 years ago?
You can turn off the "tutorials" in the Options menu. Select Hints: Off.
Oh really? I didn’t know that. If only there was a tutorial that could have told me that
One silver lining I can't help but point out. If every game after year of the dragon hadn't ranged from mediocre to absolute train wreck we probably wouldn't have gotten the near perfection that is the reignited trilogy!
I was too young to see how flawed this Spyro game turned Out
Showing results why the New
SPYRO 4
Needs to be Developed and done Right
Also Hope They add in Spyro’s
Free Flight Ability Anytime Any Level Without Limitations
But with New Rewarding Challenges Boss Battles & Upgradeable Qualities
Hopefully in the New
SPYRO 4
Plus Gen 4 Spyro Design needs to Turn Out RIGHT
How To Convince The Developers Of
Activision Blizzard Toys For Bob or Beenox ?
i wonder if u watched tha long documentary Mr, FO1 did for Enter the Dragonfly, it was even more sadder than tha state of tha game
I’ve had a handful of people recommend that to me, haven’t checked it out yet but it has piqued my interest
@@Torran2Glitchy it's a really long documentary hard to describe in a comment but long story short, things was so dicey, tha developers had to buy Peanut Butter to keep from starving with their own money
This is like Twinsanity and Twoc combined in one game.
That’s a very generous comparison I think lol
@@Torran2Glitchy and someone is working on fixing EtD meanwhile.
No ufo cow one is fun
And I played Reignited and found that boring.
At least the music is good
Its a bad sequel to YotD
I have so much more respect for Year of the Dragon now. I always thought Spyro 3 was a little weaker than the first 2 games, but after Enter the Dragonfly I think it’s amazing lol
well modders in the community are working on a remaster fixing all bugs and adding in cut levels of this game and hopefully is going to do this game justice
you shouldn't have done that.

You should watch mr f01 documentary on this game. Then you'll know why this game didnt turn out well.
Yeah I think people are too harsh on it sometimes
@@Mulpti too harsh? It's not too harsh for something like this.
Sure, it's sad what happened, but that's why you shouldn't be any less honest about this game being a dumpster fire, it probably was better off being canned than rushed like this by the publisher.
@jasonsudeikis26 you should be sicker of enablers like you.
You talk about "toxic" and yet people like you are the prime example of what a toxic user is.
Any by "way better" do you mean something like "Actually finished"?
