I'm not sure why people are surprised by the spyro evolution. After finally playing the trilogy, I felt it made sense, each sequel to me gave diminishing returns in terms of enjoyment. I liked the first one, still like the second one although the mini games were annoying, and then by the third one was even more annoyed by the minigames and liked it less. Still glad I got to play them though.And then came Enter The Dragonfly.....
