Added DiffLines:
* ObviousBeta: The game was infamously rushed out the door and it shows in several places. The game is significantly shorter than earlier ''Spyro'' games, there are only three cutscenes, the FinalBoss is the only boss, it's impossible to have a complete gem total since Moneybags never reappears to return your gems, many of the voice lines don't match up with the script, characters' facial animations tend to be very wonky, and the game is very glitchy (mainly the [=PS2=] version) and suffers frequent framerate drops.

** There's also Bianca as, for whatever reason, the game has Pamela Hayden's voice work pitch shifted, despite using her natural pitch for Bianca in ''Year of the Dragon'' thus making the character uncharacteristically sound like a helium-voiced MotorMouth.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Among all the dragonflies scattered around the world, a special amount of focus is given to Sparx also getting warped away, leaving Spyro without his best friend and protector. You'd think this would lead to a section involving Spyro having to look for his lost friend, but this potentially interesting idea is thrown out when Sparx ends up being found in the next scene, making the first scene of him being warped away completely pointless.
* VindicatedByHistory: The game was mostly disliked upon launch. In later years, it has gotten more praise for at least being true to the ''Spyro'' formula, and some fans prefer it over ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'' series and ''VideoGame/SpyroAHerosTail'' for that reason.

It takes place in a very small arena, he spends the entire fight making "witty" remarks that just come off in as corny at best, and the fight is extremely easy. Even more baffling, the amount of phases the fight has depends on how much completion percentage you reached, so if you went with the bare minimum, you're treated to a fight that lasts only ''one phase long'' and is over nearly as quickly as it starts, with [[NoEnding no proper closure of any sort either aside from a credits roll]] (which also holds true if you hit the second game.tier that nets a two-phase fight).
