I really wish I grew up with the Spyro series like I did with Crash but alas, my only experience during childhood was playing the Spyro 1 demo via demo discs and playing one of those crappy Legend of Spyro games on DS.
Anyway, Spyro 3 is more of the same, levels are fantastically designed with them being fun to explore, having memorable setpieces/gimmicks, standing out thematically and shit is satisfying to collect.
To address the Elephant in the room, this game introduces new playable characters and for some reason this seems to bother a lot of people, not me though, I found them all tolerable enough and they help to break up the Spyro gameplay, plus they're mostly optional anyway, sure they're not as fun to play as Spyro but they're perfectly serviceable in my opinion.
I will say there are a few annoying moments, Yeti boxing in particular is awful but overall I had a fantastic time with this and for once, the Speedways are actually really fun!
