I first found out about this game when a friend lent it to me.....I liked it so much, I bought it!! The graphics are excellent, and the different worlds are amazing!! The Sheila worlds are kinda hard, but I used some online walkthroughs to not only help me through the levels, but unlock some fun cheats!! (ex. All breath abilities, invincible, infinite lives, etc.) This game would be perfect for gamers new to the GBA Spyro series, and is well worth the money.

This was my first Spyro game to play on a GameBoy, and I was very suprised at the amazing color and detail of the game! This game has great graphics and color and music. The 3-D world also makes Spyro: Season of Flame more challenging. The only thing that disappointed me was the incredibly short amount of time it took me to complete the game. In this game, you have to save all of the fireflies and stop Ripto and company from taking over the Dragon Realms. There are 3 bosses in all. And, when you get tired of playing Spyro, you can takes a break and play Shelia the Kangaroo or Agent 9 the monkey in their own levels! This game has two mini-games: Dragon Draughts, or checkers with dragons as the pieces, and Sparx Panic. Sparx Panic can only be unlocked when the game is 100% complete and you have collected ALL 100 fireflies and ALL 8000 gems. The secret game is a great way to push you to actually COMPLETE the game instead of just winning. I'm not going to spoil the suprise, but I will tell you that it is a lot of fun and worth completing the game for. Actually, Sparx Panic is harder than the Spyro game itself. This game is a lot of fun and is definately worth trying!

This is one of the best games I've ever played. It's got a huge variety of different obstacles, and some very intense spots that really get you into the game. If you like the whole Mario load, you'll love this. This game beats the heck out of those market superpower games like Madden and Grand Theft Auto. Don't get those. Get this.

I could barely get through the first few minutes of the game. Something about the shakey camera work style movement of Spyro made me really sick feeling. And, it was kinda boring.

This is a really good game. I love it and have to play it every time I play my Gameboy. The best part of the game is the head butt and you can change breath to fire or ice. It's a great game. I love it :)!

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!

This Spyro game is really cool and fun. In the game there are 30 levels which you get to team up with Agent 9 and Sheila. The levels aren't too challenging, but they provide plenty of fun and action. The graphics kick butt as well as the gameplay. The levels range from the desert to a gypsy place and even a bakery type level. Not to mention agent 9's blast-a-thon's with the Rhynocs. Sheila gets jumping in this game, as well as a good headbashing. The sound or music is cool. You should get this game. It's well worth the effort.

Wow! A great game for your Game Boy Advance. Very fun. Not for the weak of heart-can get scary and extremly frustriating. A delightful game-lots of challenges- very nice graphics, sure to keep you entertained for hours. Challenges are similar to finding dancing horseshoes, collecting fireflies, beating bosses, and of course the ever present Ripto and his comrades. Great game!!!!!!!!!!

I really love this game. In this game, You're Spyro, and you can even play as Sheila & Agent9 the Super monkey! Over 3 worlds of action and game-play, You'll have to return the fireflies and gems to their rightful owners! Its a longer adventure at the Dragon World! Now, Spyro has the Ice Breath, Electric/Lightning Breath, Super Flame and Super Freeze Attacks. There are now even fairies who save your progress, and even some sounds and inclined platforms! It's even better than Season of Ice, Which I gave a poor little 3!
Buy it before you buy SOI!!!

I borrowed this game from a friend and immidiately fell in love with it. Its graphics are way better than the last game, it's more challenging, and (once you get the hang of it) fairly easy to play. I used to play Spyro on playstation and ever since then I've loved it! I think it's soo cute when Spyro jumps along sunny plains: awww! Furthermore, I just beat the game today (it took me a while to figure out how to beat Ripto), and I liked it so much I bought it! I started my own file with no fireflies and now have 86, which is even more than my friend's file, and she rocks at every game ever created! Excuse me, i think i'll go tell her i beat the game :)

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.

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.

It is very frustrating and very easy to die or fall in the water but the controls are VERY easy. Try renting it first. I had to go through a level about 30 times and I'm NOT exaggerating!!![.] But it is fun in the first levels because if you fall in the water, faerie magic will get you to land so you won't lose a life :) DO NOT BUY IT RIGHT AWAY!!![.] I'd recommend it to kids ages 8-16 cause it IS pretty hard and I felt like throwing the game on the floor and setting it on fire. When I need a good puzzle game or fun entertainment I play this game!

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!!!!!

After playing Spyro:Season of Ice I thought this game would be amazing. Since it is a sequel it should be better, am I correct? Well it's not. If you are thinking about looking into getting a Spyro GBA game I highly recommend Spyro:Season of Ice...

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.

This game is great except for one thing. The screan "jumps." what it is doing is centering Spyro to the middle of the screen. So when you stop the action, the screen keeps moving until Spyro is centered. Makes me a little sick after awhile....

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.

You know what I think that this game is both fun and challenging. You might get stuck at some parts but if you don't give up you will find that that was easy. Like when you are trying to beat Crush and Gulp you just have to dodge the things they through at you and you get them when they fall down and then you go up to them and press the a button and through it at them you have to through the bomb or ice at them like three times then you win! It is a eaaly fun and I guess easy game. If you have played the other games like "Spyro Ripto's Revenge" them you know that this game is as easy as that one. Well I'm only on the third level. So, so far it is easy.

I waited forever for the game to come out. Right when I got home from school I played it for hours. It even came with a pull out poster. It's challenging too.Funny, and FUN! I'm gonna get the strategy guide soon. You can even see where you are with the map when you press Select and L. I LOVE the game!!! It truly deserves more than 5 stars! Get Season of Flame today! By the way, Crush, Gulp, and Ripto are back in the game. Spyro will sure teach them a lesson!

This game is good. They added back some variety in that you have other characters to play again not just Spyro and Sparx. Sparx seems to have enlarged himself a bit in this one, making him easier to see. The graphics look excellent and the game is fun. I really liked the new atlas, it helps to show exactly what you are missing. Why did I only give it 4 stars? There is one annoying thing that bugs me. The screen seems "jumpy". It is almost as if it is anticipating where you are going to go, so when you stop the world stops moving and goes backwards to where you are. I found this to be my main complaint, after a bit, it kind of made me feel ill :)
