Hello HIR, that is very affable off you.:-) But I think, I discovered a couple of hours ago, that I've not got the greatest hits version. Because I saw a new video by RedDevilDazzy on youtube about a Crystal Island glitch. And in those Level, I heard a different music. My game doesn't have that music! Especially not in Crystal Islands. And I read, in the greatest hits version there are a different music between Crystal Island and Seashell Shore. And my game has got the same music.

.: November 10, 2000 Mode(s) Spyro: Year of the Dragon is a developed by and published by for the in 2000. Year of the Dragon is the third installment in the series. The game was the last Spyro game Insomniac developed; their next title would be for the. It was released in North America and for PAL regions in October 2000, but unlike the other two games, it was not given a Japanese release.
Named after the animal of the, which was the symbol at the time of the game's release, Year of the Dragon follows the titular purple dragon as he travels to the 'Forgotten Worlds' after 150 magical dragon eggs are stolen from the land of the dragons by an evil sorceress. Players travel across thirty different worlds gathering gems and eggs. Year of the Dragon introduced new characters and to the series, as well as offering improved graphics and music. Upon release, the game sold more than two million units in the United States and received critical acclaim.
Reviewers noted the game built on the successful formula of its predecessors by adding more games and expansive environments. It was followed by the title. It was later re-released under the label, fixing numerous bugs as well as adding additional music. Spyro attacks various Rhynocs (pictured) throughout the game Year of the Dragon is set primarily in the third-person; its gameplay makes few deviations from that of its predecessors.

The main objective of the game is to collect special dragon eggs which are scattered across 37 worlds. These eggs are hidden, or are given as rewards for completing certain tasks and levels. The worlds of Spyro are linked together by 'homeworlds' or 'hubs', large worlds which contain gateways to many other levels. To proceed to the next hub, the character must complete five worlds, gather a certain number of eggs, and defeat a boss. Players do not need to gather every egg to complete the main portion of the game or gain access to new levels; in fact, certain eggs can only be found by returning to the world at a later time. Gems are scattered across the worlds, hidden in crates and jars.
These gems are used to bribe a bear named Moneybags to release captured 'critters' and activate things which help Spyro progress through levels (Such as bridges). Gems, along with the number of eggs collected, count to the total completion percentage of the game. The player controls the dragon Spyro for most of the game. Spyro's health is measured by his companion Sparx, a dragonfly who changes color and then disappears after taking progressively more damage. If the player does not have Sparx, then the next hit would cause the player to lose a life and restart at the last saved checkpoint.
Consuming small wildlife known as 'fodder' regenerates Sparx. Spyro has several abilities, including breathing fire, swimming and diving, gliding, and headbutting, which he can use to explore and combat a variety of enemies, most of which are rhinoceros-like creatures called Rhynocs. Some foes are only vulnerable to certain moves. Spyro can run into 'Powerup Gates', which give him special abilities for a limited period.
Year of the Dragon introduced playable characters other than Spyro, known as 'critters', which are gradually unlocked as the player proceeds through the game. Critters can be found blocking the level they are played in until released from Moneybags. Subsequently, the player plays as the character in specially marked sections of levels.
Each homeworld features one world which is played through entirely by a non-Spyro character. There are a total of seven playable characters, which all have their own special moves and abilities. Sheila the Kangaroo, for example, can, while Sgt. Byrd is armed with rocket launchers and can fly indefinitely. Besides the primary quest to find dragon eggs, Year of the Dragon features an extensive set of, which are split off from the levels into smaller zones. Some of the minigames were featured in and were subsequently expanded for Year of the Dragon, while others are entirely new to the series. These minigames are played by Spyro or the other playable characters.
Plot Setting and characters. Main article: is assisted by many characters during the course of Year of the Dragon.

Also aiding Spyro is Hunter the, who teaches the player game mechanics and is a playable character at special racing levels. Four other playable characters are freed from Moneybags during the game; Sheila the, Sgt. Byrd the, Bentley the, and Agent 9 the. The main enemy is the Sorceress, an iron-fisted queen of the Forgotten Worlds with her forces. Aiding her is Bianca the Rabbit, her apprentice and who attempts to hinder Spyro on his mission until she changes sides after learning of the Sorceress's real goal.
Excel file of all sic codes search. Story The game opens with a celebration in the land of the dragons, where Spyro and his kin are celebrating the 'Year of the Dragon', an event that occurs every twelve years when new dragon eggs are brought to the realm. During the celebration however, a cloaked rabbit girl named Bianca invades the Dragon Realms with an army of rhino-based creatures called Rhynocs and steals all of the Dragon eggs, bringing them back to the Sorceress, who spreads the eggs throughout several worlds. The worlds are split up into four realms: Sunrise Spring, Midday Gardens, Evening Lake, and Midnight Mountain. Spyro, Sparx, and Hunter are sent down a hole to find the thieves and recover the dragon eggs.
While pursuing the thief, Spyro discovers a world once inhabited by the dragons, but long abandoned and forgotten. This world is under the iron-fisted reign of the Sorceress and her Rhynoc army. Spyro meets with Shiela the Kangaroo, Sergeant Byrd the Penguin, Bentley the Yeti, and Agent 9 the Monkey who help him on his quest. Shiela tells Spyro how when the dragons left the realm, the world's magic began to dry up.
Spyro travels through each world in the forgotten realm, acquiring aid from the local inhabitants and rescuing the dragon eggs. It is revealed that the Sorceress is seeking not the baby dragons themselves, but merely their wings to concoct a spell that can grant her.
Once Bianca learns about this, she turns against the Sorceress and decides to help Spyro defeat her. Spyro fights and defeats the Sorceress, but she survives the battle and waits for him. After he defeats her again and retrieves the last dragon egg, Spyro returns all of the baby dragons to the Dragon Realms. Development Development of Spyro: Year of the Dragon spanned about ten and a half months, from November 1999 to September 2000; the development team was influenced by a host of other games, including and. Among the new features touted before the game's release was 'Auto Challenge Tuning', which Insomniac CEO described as 'invented to even out the gameplay difficulty curve for players of different abilities'. The levels were made much larger than those in Spyro 2, so that more areas for minigames could be added; to prevent player confusion on where to go next, these areas were designed to load separately from the main hubs. Price stated that the addition of critters was a way to make the game more enjoyable and varied, instead of just adding more moves for Spyro.
Cytomic the drop. The game was named 'Year of the Dragon' simply because it was released during 2000, in the Chinese zodiac. In previews, publications such as IGN and GameSpot noted that the graphics had been improved, and that there were many new characters and locations.
The new minigames were previewed, and IGN pointed out that they offered enough complexity to back up the simple gameplay. In an interview with GameSpot, Ted Price stated that the emphasis for the title was on the new critters, but that Spyro would not be left behind in the story. Year of the Dragon also implemented protection, in addition to the previous games had contained. This helped prevent hackers from cracking the game until two months after release. Despite the positive response the game would go on to receive, Year of the Dragon was developer ' last Spyro title. In an interview, CEO said that the company stopped producing the games because they could not do anything new with the character, and that after five years of development on a single series, the team wanted to do something different. Future Spyro games were produced by, among other developers, and.
A segment of the track 'Fireworks Factory' Stewart Copeland composed for Year of the Dragon. Reviewers applauded the high fidelity music, which brought added atmosphere to the game's levels. Problems playing this file? The music for Year of the Dragon was composed and produced by, former for the rock band, with additional contributions by Ryan Beveridge.
During the band's hiatus, Copeland composed several movie soundtracks, and composed the scores for the previous Spyro titles; Price stated that Copeland's offering for the third installment was his best work to date. In an interview, Copeland stated his creative process for writing the music for the Spyro series always began by playing through the levels, trying to get a feel for each world's 'atmosphere'. Copeland noted the challenge of writing for games was to create music that would both be interesting to listen to and complemented the gameplay; his approach was to incorporate more complicated harmonies and so that the music could seem fresh for players, even after repeated listening. He complimented the format of the PlayStation and its support for high quality audio; there were no technical constraints that stopped him from producing the sound he wanted. Copeland recorded entire orchestral scores for extra flourish when the visuals called for an expansive sound, but used more percussive and beat-driven melodies for 'high-energy' moments in the game.
Release and reception Reception Aggregate score Aggregator Score 91/100 Review scores Publication Score A- 8.1/10 9.1/10 Year of the Dragon was released on October 24, 2000. It was critically acclaimed, with the game receiving an average ranking of 91/100 based on fifteen reviews.

Noted that while Year of the Dragon made no significant changes to the formula of its predecessors, the combination of new playable characters, more detailed graphics, and the variety of minigames made the game worth buying.
Praised the game's appeal to all ages and the polished levels, as well as the successful multi-character focus. Thought that while the game's premise itself was simply a rehash of previous titles, 'the story that unfolds as you actually play the game is flawlessly interwoven and quite entertaining'. Noted that the ability of the game to automatically drop the difficulty if players get stuck was an excellent feature.
's Kevin Rice provided one of the most positive reviews in which he stated the top-notch level design, intuitive controls and excellent graphics made the title the best Spyro game to date, and arguably the best PlayStation game overall. Copeland's score was generally well-received, though several critics sharply disagreed with the general consensus. Publications like PSXExtreme thought the music helped bring atmosphere to the varied worlds, and Allgame enthused that 'Insomniac should be commended for realizing the importance of music in games; it seems to enhance the whole experience.' Others, such as Joseph Parazen of Game Revolution, thought the background music sounded 'identical to every other 3D, cartoony, action platformer I've ever played'.
Other points of praise were the voice acting and character development. Among complaints aside from the story included the game camera, which could be difficult to control and led to unjustified enemy attacks. Some publications warned that the game might feel too much like its predecessors, with a similar plot and objectives. References Wikiquote has quotations related to. Retrieved January 14, 2017.
