Spyro is once again joined by his dragonfly familiar Sparx, collector of gems and indicator of Spyro's health. No significant changes were made in the transition from the first game to the second rather, additions were simply layered onto the established Spyro formula, and such is the case with the third game in the series. Playing Year of the Dragon is just like playing either of its forebears. The eggs have been hidden throughout all kinds of environments, so Spyro has a lot of diverse ground to cover in his search for the missing youths. This time around, the namelessly wicked Sorceress and her henchgirl Bianca have eggnapped all the unborn dragons in the land, and retrieval duty has fallen to Spyro. It seems that dragons can never rest, as the nefarious plans of some evildoer or other are always in need of thwarting.
