Let me just say something. This game is great. Make that GREAT!!!! There's all-new moves such as super headbutt ice breath,fiery breath and even lightning breath! If you liked the previous Spyro games your gonna LOVE this one. I think the only disavantages are that the game finishes quite quickly and that it can be really frustrating sometimes. If you like the Donkey Kong games then you'll might like it as they are both similar. I say if your thinking about action\aventure games think Spyro!
Good luck with playing Spyro!
A poorly made and annoying little game - Review written on July 05, 2003

I bought this game so I could have some entertainment on a car trip. I shouldn't have. This game is pointless and annoying. Parts of it are too easy, and other parts seem impossible. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, all you have to do is collect all the gems, freeze a few fireflies (which happen to be unrealistically big) and complete some mini-games. It is extremely easy to destroy enemies, because most of them go down with one hit. When you play on the Sheila the kangaroo levels, you die a lot because it's hard to jump on enemies. The Agent 9 levels have prehistoric graphics, and also, the music is never the kind that gets your heart pumping. In Metroid Fusion, for example, it has very scary music when the SA-X (the ultimate enemy) goes by. In Spyro, it always has a happy little tune playing. I advise all gamers to buy something else, and avoid Spyro at all costs.
Spyro #2 **I WANTED TO RATE THIS GAME 3.5 STARS** - Review written on April 30, 2003

I was disapointed when I beat the game in a few hours, but I thought it was a great game when I started.It has nicely done 3D graphics, good re-play ability and good gameplay.It also has several mini-games.(2 I know of) One is a checkers game called Dragon Draughts and the other is called Sprax Panic which I've never played before.You can also play with Sheila (a kangaroo) and Agent 9 the space monkey each with their own UNIQUE levels.There are 19 levels including 4 levels with Sheila and 4 with Agent 9.As well as 3 overworlds (Sunny Plains, Celestial Plains, and Starry Plains with 1 boss in each overworld).
I still play Spyro:Season Of Flame to get all of the gems and fireflies on each level to onlock Sprax Panic and to beat the game again and again.

What an awesome game! This is one of the best GameBoy games I've ever seen. The graphics are, surprisingly, bursting with color and sharpness, and it has very enjoyable music. You just want to jump into that cute little Spyro world. The game itself isn't very hard, it's the challenges! (The fire pixie challenges are incredibly annoying and frustrating.) Great for all ages-you'll never tire of this game. The characters are humorus and cute, and the game is very easy to understand. And you can play four characters: Spyro(of course), Sheila, Agent 9 and Sparx. Personally, my very favorite levels are the Spyro and Sheila ones. It's so refreshing when you finish an Agent 9 or Sheila level, and then you come out to a Spyro level, instead of doing the same levels over and over.
Some of the worlds are even holiday based too, like Shamrock Isle is based on St. Patrick's day, and then there's Christmas(Winter Mesa) and Halloween(Haunted Hills)! Another cool thing about this is the neat angle from which you play. Some GameBoy games are oh-so-dull with the boring 2-D graphics. THIS is full 3-D and far from boring!
In other words, UNBELIVEABLY AWESOME GAME!!!! GET IT!!!!!
As addictive as the PS1 games and cuter than ever - Review written on December 29, 2002

This is the first GBA game I've played, so I'm not sure how it holds up compared to other games on the platform, but it certainly holds true to the Spyro tradition, and this game is actually a lot more fun than the new PS2 game in the series. A slightly more diminutive Spyro explores several dozen imaginative levels, collecting gems, fireflies and solving puzzles/completing challenges along the way -- more of the same, perhaps, but it's still a lot of fun.
The action is paced very well - you can progress quickly through the levels and go back later to finish up the more difficult or frustrating challenges later. All of the things that make the Spyro series great are here: a seemingly endless variety of foes and new landscapes to explore, fun sub-levels where you can play games or beat the clock in a variety of races and other scenarios, and a great sense of humor. The levels are among the most creative of ANY Spyro game, including some based on holiday imagery (Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Christmas), ice, tropics, and even a candy-themed level! I would have loved to see some of these levels on a full-scale PS2 Spyro game.
Although you can breeze through most of the levels pretty quickly, there's plenty to do after you're finished if you haven't collected all the gems and fireflies. The only real problem is controlling Spyro; as your viewpoint is rather diagonal, it's easy to misjudge which way you are going. There were times when I lost dozens of lives in a row because I couldn't quite get the angle right on a glide. It's very easy to fall off of edges, and there are a LOT of edges.
While I'm not quite sure how this stacks up compared to other GBA games, it's certainly a worthy investment for a Spyro or platformer fan.
Spyro:Season of Flame, an even better game than the last.... - Review written on October 11, 2002

I'm glad they decided to bring the Spyro series to the Gameboy Advance. My only gripe has always been with the isometric view but, once you get used to that, they are pretty awesome. Which brings me to this game. Spyro:Season of Flame is alot like the first game but even better in some respects. There's alot more to do, things to collect. Everything runs more smoothly. I'll admit, even the graphics are more colorful and crisp. They even brought over some of the characters from the last PSone game for you to play in this one. I really like the fact they put alot into the game for you to like. Do I like it? You bet your sweet hiney I do. Digital Eclipse knows their Spyro, that's for sure, and that's a good thing. There's alot of us Spyro fans out here who love the games. I'd like to suggest this game to all Spyro fans out there as well as all platform game fans. It's awesome.
Now...if we could just get some of these other developers out there to follow suit and bring their properties to the handheld- we'd be in business. I'd love to be able to play games like Tomba, and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger on the go. If Digital Extremes can make a Gameboy Advance game out of Spyro, I know other developers could do it as well.
