I have to score the *physical* edition of the game one star on principle. Only one game of the trilogy is included on the disc, the rest require a significant download in order to access. This practice is not only bad for consumers, it's bad for software preservation and anyone who cares about gaming as a hobby.
There are already games that were released digital only that are now impossible to buy. Outrun Online Arcade, Afterburner Climax, Scott Pilgrim and The Simspons Arcade to name just a few. It is naive to assume that digital-distribution exclusive content will be around forever, and diving the product into thirds and only providing one third on the disc and leaving the rest at the mercy of digital distribution is a bad idea anyway you look at it.
It's a shame because the game was obviously a labour of love and the team clearly worked hard to make a fantastic game worthy of the original trilogy, but the baffling publishing decisions means I simply can't recommend a purchase of the physical edition.

At the current time of review I can only apply this to "Spyro 1" (due to downloading).Positives: The game looks beautiful.The music is fantastic, it's been updated very well.Controls do feel a little different from the original but that's to be expected.Loading times are not too long which is awesome.Negatives: The 'mandatory' downloading (see images). I was met with these screens upon placing the disc into the system.So after the first mandatory download, I was then met with a second download screen.After the backlash and delay with the game, I thought these issues were going to be addressed (how wrong I was).Still, I am fortunate enough to have a decent enough Internet connection so this won't hinder me, however others with slower speeds or in fact no Internet connection at all will be in for a shock.Overall the game (from what I've played) is enjoyable, it's just the little things like not being able to play something you've purchased right out of the box.But alas, this seems to be the times we now live in.

Positives: The game looks beautiful.
The music is fantastic, it's been updated very well.
Controls do feel a little different from the original but that's to be expected.
Loading times are not too long which is awesome.
Negatives: The 'mandatory' downloading (see images). I was met with these screens upon placing the disc into the system.
So after the first mandatory download, I was then met with a second download screen.

Still, I am fortunate enough to have a decent enough Internet connection so this won't hinder me, however others with slower speeds or in fact no Internet connection at all will be in for a shock.
