Spyro: Year of the Dragon is a platform game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. The game was released in North America on November 30, 2000. Year of the Dragon is the third installment in the Spyro series and the last Spyro game to be released for the PlayStation. The game was the last Spyro game Insomniac developed; their next title would be Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 2.

Named after the animal of the Chinese zodiac,[2] Year of the Dragon follows the titular purple character Spyro as he travels to the "Forgotten Realms"[3] 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 minigames 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,[4] and received positive critical response, with reviewers noting the game built on the successful formula of its predecessors by adding more games and expansive environments. At Game Rankings, Year of the Dragon is one of the top twenty highest-rated PlayStation games of all time.

I always loved these games. When it came out on the PS2, not only did it have painfully slow loading times, it marked the beginning of a drift far away from the original idea. PS1 games were, for the most part, much more fun than PS2 ones. I still play Crash Team Racing and have gone back to the Spyro games several times. Long live a classic.

Exactly, Insomic games lost it when they started making the first Spyro game for the PS2.
Spyro 3 will always be the best!

Another average from me, I don't see what made them so outstanding, I mean yea I enjoyed them, and they're not bad games, but nothing made Spyro stand out to me.

Excellent. I really enjoyed the third title (especially the skateboard). Still really wasn't as good as the original Spyro but definitely had a great deal of gameplay and enjoyment.
