He's got such a good design, yeah! :>

So have I! :D

Am I the only one who thinks some of the sound effects in 2 and 3 feel kinda cheap compared to 1, though? I think I only feel that way because I never had the other two parts of the trilogy as a kid.

I actually started with Year of the Dragon so when I went to play one...
The downgrade was immediately noticeable, in terms of gameplay.

Like Spyro controls completely different in the first game! He's a lot more... slidey. 

I didn't notice noises, though! I'll try and listen to them.

I feel like he was also a lot more independent in the first game, before he wound up in Avalar.

I guess he is a little slidey? Never noticed much, myself. I'll have to pay more attention.

Specifically with the gem pickup sounds, I find the magical swishy sound they make in 2 and 3 to be really easy to get tired of compared to the much simpler sound from 1.

Found 2 videos to compare the sound, and I didn't even notice a change before!
The first game had a much quieter sound, and it is nice- I suppose I'm just biased towards 2/3.
Spyro was such a little turd in the first game!! He's great. 

He's much harder to control when charging in the first game.
In 2/3 you can do some crazy stuff with charges that are just straight up impossible in 1.
Also, I didn't notice originally until I looked, but his model is different from 1 and 2/3 as well!
If you look at the wings, it's more noticeable.

Yeah, there's a bit of transparency used on his wing textures as well, where there wasn't any before, and the bone structure of his wings makes more sense. They also removed his teeth and made them just a texture though. I liked his teeth in 1.

I think his walking/running animation is better in 1 than 2 and 3 though.

I do like the little trot animation they have in 1 when he's not going fast...
Though it sometimes adds to his slidey-ness when I'm trying to maneuver him xD

Yeah! The teeth thing was sad. Good thing the re-ignited trilogy is giving our boy a full set of chompers!
