Replay – Spyro: A Hero's Tail
Spyro the Dragon is a beloved character who has far too many skeletons in his closet. Following Insomniac Games' brilliant trilogy of games, the purple dragon fell on dark times, bouncing from one development house to the next, none capable of delivering the magic fans have come to expect. Spyro: A Hero's Tail is one of those failed ventures. It looks like Spyro and plays like Spyro, but the heart and soul of the adventure is missing. The flow isn't right.
A Hero's Tail is Spyro's fifth console game and was developed by Eurocom Entertainment. It released for PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube on November 9, 2004. We take a look at the opening moments of the game, and then transition to another game that holds our interest more for our Roulette segment.
Enjoy the show, and we'll see you again in seven days!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
