To fight his enemies, Spyro is equipped with dynamic new abilities, beyond

vehicles including a tank, a UFO and a Spitfire plane through detailed worlds
complete with real-time lighting and fog effects, dynamic water and richly
textured architecture.
Making his return to the world of Spyro console gaming, Stewart Copeland,
formerly of the Police, composed the musical score for "Spyro: Enter the
Dragonfly."
