Now Playing: Spyro - A Hero's Tail

A good tail. I mean, tale.
 Hunter finally makes his official playable debut!
 I've heard a lot of things about this game. A lot of bad things. But I played about 30 minutes of it, got to the swamp before I started running late for work, and boy oh boy, it was good.

 Sparx's wonky grab rate from Enter the DragonFly? Fixed. Awkward camera? Fixed. Janky movement? Fixed. The game oozes quality, the platforming feels very tight. I don't understand why swap the headbutt and fire breathing buttons, though, why mess with muscle memory?!

 The dialogue is dumb, and is reeking with infantile humor that will make most adults grimace, but as far as gameplay is concerned? So far, color me impressed.
