The story section seems a bit excessive to me. Is it really necessary to describe every single scene? Frankly, it looks to me like fancruft. — Frungi 20:18, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure wether this is worth noting, but the Agent 9 minigames parody shooter games. The Dinosaur one is much like Point Blank or Time Crisis, in that you shoot from a set track, and I remember there being one much like Doom. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Floating Banana ( talk • contribs) 08:27, May 28, 2007 (UTC)

The infobox states that the Australian release date is October 25, but the main body says November 10. Does anyone know which is correct? — Manti core 09:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

This is a great FA. I'm proud to have donated to the wikimedia / pedia project in the interests of disseminating information to the world about the computer games industry, obscure nazis / WW2 events, and other worthwhile topics. 62.232.34.3 ( talk) 07:55, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Given that this only has a very crude skateboarding minigame not at all comparable in quality or duration to real skating games like Tony Hawk's, should it be included? I remember that Metal Gear Solid 2 had a somewhat decent skating minigame too, but that isn't included. And since this also has other minigames like racing and shooting, but isn't included in those game categories, should it not be removed? Richard001 ( talk) 23:07, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Instead of edit-warring over this... mentioning that this game was mentioned in a shooter's manifesto is absolutely undue weight. There is no coverage of Spyro as meaningfully contributing to the shooter, no coverage specifically on Spyro in relation to the shooter, and even the supplied source for the statement makes it clear that its inclusion is trolling, not a serious comment by the shooter. So I don’t see how this is important enough for inclusion in the article at all, let alone the lead (where it shouldn’t be anyhow, if there’s no additional commentary in the article proper.)

Through Twitter, I found an old version of Insomniac's website, and it lists Year of the Dragon as coming out on October 11th, not the 24 like the GameSpot source. ( https://web.archive.org/web/20040603044950/http://www.insomniacgames.com/html/games/spyro3/index.html). I was wondering what source we should use. JCW555 ( talk) 18:49, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
spyro 3 was groundbreaking for its piracy protection systems. i think it should be added. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/keeping-the-pirates-at-bay 2806:106E:19:517F:4CE4:1B94:1BDE:108F ( talk) 19:01, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
