Spyro: A Hero's Tail
Vivendi announced a new 3D platforming adventure featuring Spyro the Dragon.
Posted by John Grothier - PlayStation 2,Xbox,GameCube - UK and Europe

Vivendi have just announced the development of Spyro: A Hero's Tail, a new platforming adventure that will feature Spyro the Dragon and five fully-playable characters. Developed by UK-based Eurocom Entertainment Software and scripted by Emmy Award-winning writer J. Stewart Burns, Spyro the Dragon will have some brand-new breath attacks, power-up and moves to help him on his latest quest. Spyro: A Hero's Tail will be released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube in time for Christmas.

"Since his debut in 1998, our purple dragon Spyro has been a favorite character among console gamers everywhere," said Michael Pole, of Worldwide Studios, VU Games. "Spyro fans are sure to welcome his greatest adventure to date - an adventure game that immerses players into a deep storyline, more diverse, lush environments and introduces a strong line-up of engaging characters."

Spyro, once again, must try to save the Dragon Realms from the clutches of the Evil Red Dragon, who has planted light-sapping Dark Gems all over the Dragon Realms in an attempt to capture and control the world. With the help of his friends and allies, Spyro must find and destroy these gems in order to return the lands back to normal, and stop the plans of the Evil Red Dragon. Spyro will have to travel cross dark, mysterious lands in which the environments shift from evil to good in real-time - which will affect enemies, music, lighting, objects, sky and more. Spyro is now outfitted with mighty new abilities including the Wall Kick, Tail Swing and Ledge Grab. Spyro can also fight his enemies with powered-up breath attacks - burning opponents with Flame Breath, deep-freezing rivals with Freeze Breath, obstructing adversaries with Water Breath and destroying mechanical enemies with Electric Breath.

Spyro has the help of a few of his friends in this new adventure, and as well as playing as the little purple dragon, gamers will also have the opportunity to play as weapons master Hunter the Cheetah, dive-bombing penguin Sgt. Byrd, loyal sidekick Sparx the Dragonfly or the all-new weapons-equipped, climbing Blink the Mole.

We will bring you more on Spyro: A Hero's Tail on Silicon Fusion very soon, but until then we have the first batch of screens for you.
