It sits in the same stagnating pool as every other generic 3D platform title. [Dec 2004, p.89]

Just about everything that we complained about in the last game has been addressed. This is one great platformer.

It isn't an instant classic, and older games may be a little put off by the cheery brightness and colourful cartoon characters, but if you can get past the aesthetics you will find a rock-solid platformer.

I have great memories of this from childhood and recently ran through it again. A far better entry compared to Enter the Dragonfly with minigames that are actually fun and an actual story. They also added new and old characters back into the mix which were enjoyable. In my opinion it is one of the best Spyro entries in terms of controls as well, which pairs nicely with the stable framerate.

Very funny and colorfull game. The only weakness is the bosses fights, they're not good, but the puzzle and missions are good.

No a la altura de la trilogía original pero, a ver, qué lo está? Controlar a los demás personajes es una gozada.

A Hero's Tail is actually fairly hefty, with enormous levels to explore. Obviously a younger gamer's title, plenty of colourful visuals and the addition of so many replayable mini-games should keep the kiddies enthralled (and quiet) for hours at a time. [Official UK Xbox Magazine]

A solid adventure game with some very nice improvements over its predecessor. However, the low difficulty level may turn off gamers looking for a challenge.

It's the lack of real depth that will definitely bore serious gamers, but for the under-six set, Spyro is very easy to get into and understand. [Holiday 2004, p.87]

What's sad is that as nice as the game looks it just fails on gameplay.

Spyro's newly expanded roster doesn't manage to save A Hero's Tail from monotony, and even the title's targeted younger demographic will probably soon tire of the game's reliance on boring collectible gathering.

We grew bored of the sheer repetitiveness of the game play, and not even Spyro's smart-ass remarks could keep us amused. Just talk to the hand, Spyro. Snap!
