More action-heavy than the previous games in the Spyro series, Beginning has players whomping almost non-stop on giant frost monsters, floating skeletons and semi-intelligent, dynamite-hucking gibbons. Here, the game offers a series of air- and ground-based attacks, including combination strikes, but seems content to provide an endless blur of mꦓonsters that can be handled with simplꩲe tail-whips.

It's suitably mindless fare, and only really bogs down when enemies clog the screen and the game - ♎which loves its speed lines and crazy particle efꦚfects -tends to make it all but impossible for players to see what's going on and who, exactly, is pummeling who.
