... Spyro 2 was the first game I bought. It gives you a good feel of you your PSX or PSOne or maybe even PS2 works. The game is really good for beginners and experts. As you start off, the gameplay is easy but yet interesting. It like getts you caught up in it. As the game progresses it gets more challenging. For the beginners, by the time you get to the hard parts your not even a beginner anymore. The worlds and characters are so colorful and amuzing. And some of the characters you have to try and take something from or even kill in some cases are so anoying that you don't stop until you finish the task.

This is REALLY< REALLY COOL!

Spyro 2 is really awsome. It is much better than the first one, because it has more of a story-line and is shaped as a game better. There are lots of little mini-games to beat, to get an orb. After awhile, you really get hooked. There are some really cool things. M favorite part are the super-charge power-ups, because you can do alot of cool things. it is also fun swimming, climbing and head-bashing. There are a couple of downsides though: 1. The camera angle can get REALLY annoying. You can usually fix it though. 2. Sometimes, the tasks are sorta impossible to do. You can usually get them, if you try for like... an hour. This can get annoying also, because you need to complete a lot of these tasks to go to the next place. 3. The bad guys to go to the next world can be a little hard to beat also. Other than that, this is a really good game. You shouldn't stop from buying it.

This Game Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a big fan of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.So when I saw this game I had to get it.Spyro 2 is probably one of my favorite games
I have all the Spyro games(Yes,I have Spyro4 for Gameboy Advance,
it is so cool!)This game is fun and I discovered some bugs for it online.I even found one of my own in Glimmer at the ending.In
Glimmer go to the far Super fly powerup outside the exit portal.Get in it and then go to where the whirlwind is.Get has high as you can go and hover next to the wall.If you get lucky,
you'll land on top of the grassy hills.I hope this works for you. ...If you like this game get Crash Bandicoot games too. ...

Best Spyro ever!

I have Spyro I, II & III!
This is by far my favorite!

17 months ago.
I did all the skill points, Collected all 10,000 Gems and 64 Orbs, Defeated Ripto, got all the Tokens in Dragon Shores, and beat every single little task!
And not even one little seceret tip from the Internet, well, basicly.
I didn't finnish without the "Guid Book."
You Do need to buy The Guide Book for this game if you want to know all the tips and tunnles and coves, etc.
This is a great Game!

The Battle for Avalar

Spyro the Dragon and Sparx the Dragonfly are looking forward to relaxing vacation at Dragon Shores. They're going to rest up their victory over Gnasty Gnorc in thier first aventure. But fate is about to give their travel plans a big ugly tweak.

In the world of Avalar, a dinosaur-riding trouble-maker named Ripto is making life miserable with his magical spells. Statues are coming to life and atacking thier makers. Monsters are messing up the electrical systems. Eskimos are being turned into ice cubes and fish are running out of water!

The folks of Avalar have to come up with a plan, Quick! They decide that a dragon is what they need to defeat Ripto and his gang. One of the defenders, the Professer, has created magical orbs that will snatch a dragon out of another world and shoot it through a portal to Avalar. Just Spyro and Sparx leave for their trip, the Professor revs up the orbs.

In the blink of a gnorc's eye, it's "Good-bye, Dragon Shores," and "Hello, Avalar!" as Syro and Sparx tumble though a portal and into an strange place. If they ever want to take their beach vacation, Spyro and Sparx have to help get rid this raging Ripto.It's enough to make a dragon spit fire!

Spyro never passes up a challenge or a chance to toast a few enemies- and their are plenty of both here. The vast worlds of Avalar contain beautiful mountains, bubbling lava flows and gem-filled lakes. The local folks seem pretty nice too.... wierd - but nice. But some of the scariest creatures ever seen live here and that's by dragon on standards! Will Spyro ever get back to his world? It's a snap if your a dragon.

Spyro and Sparx

Spyro- Spyro is a meschievous hero of his tale. He may be the smallest hero in the Dragon Family, but even the Elder Dragons admit he's got gumption! Just ask Gnasty Gnorc- he won't mess with Spyro again! Spyro is always rarin' to go, especially when he can head bash some sheep or flame some frogs. He's so full of energy, he'll keep you on the move! Spyro is extremely curious and hardly ever cautious, which sometimes gets him into trouble!

Sparx- Sparx's job is to keep Spyro out of trouble. When Spyro takes a hit, he feels it, and he changes color. He goes from yellow(full health), to blue(medium health), to green(near death)and one more hit Sparx disappears. To revive Sparx, Spyro eats little rodents that turn into butterflies for Sparx.

Three Steps to Saving The World

To complete a world/realm:

1.Complete the talisment task. Talk to the first person you meet when you enter a realm. Look for someone standing next to a banner and listen for hints about what is needed from you.

2.Complete all the orb tasks. Talk to any friendly folks who invite you to accept challenges. Some may ask you to do multiple tasks.

3.Collect all the gems. Gems are scattered all over Avalar.

You must win all the talisments and many of the orbs to beat Ripto. Complete all of the worlds of Avalar to win the game. Collect 100% of everything in the game and you will be generously rewarded.

The Good Folks of Avalar

Elora- Listen to Elora for tips on moving through the game or finding important things. She will also take you to important portals. If you get lost, try to find Elora. She can help you get un-lost.

Hunter The Cheetah- If you want to learn how to perform tricky moves, Hunter the Cheetah is your cat. He challenges you to learn
athletic tricks that you'll need throughout the game. Hunter will also show you how the controls work. He loves contests, so be sure to say YES when he wants to compete.

Professer- Sharpen your wits by listening to the Professer. He may challenge you to some brain teasers. He will also give you valuable information to solve some of Avalar's confusing riddles.

Moneybags- Moneybags will always help, for a price. You have to pay him with your collected gems. He will open passages, rent equipment or show how to perform moves. His high-priced services are definitely worth the investment.

Zoe- Zoe is a fairy who zaps Spyro with her wand every time he comes near her. Each zap saves Spyro's progress. When you progress to a certain point, you will see her hovering around. Go up to her for a quick zap. If you are defeated, you return to the game at the last point where Zoe zapped Spyro last. Zoe gives you quick gameplay hints on how to operate controls or defeat enemies.

Best of the series

'Best of the series' should already say enough, but allow me to explain. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (European title: Gateway to Glimmer) is the follow-up to the original Spyro, which was a fun game as well. Spyro beats its predecessor by every point though, which is quite astonishing.

The game starts out with Spyro getting ready for vacation after the big adventure of the first game, but of course, vacation is not what's on the other side of the portal Spyro's jumping into. Spyro meets some folk who tell him about evil Ripto, who is wanting to take over the entire dragonworld. Spyro must go and collect the orbs Ripto stole so he can get to him to flame his behind.

Although most of the gameplay is quite the same as in the original game, improvements have definitely been made. And I mean DEFINITELY. Spyro's size has been adjusted slightly, which makes him more visible, gives you the feeling he's a bit more present, and which makes the controls way better. The dash can now be used very easily for running very fast and jumping over large distances. Spyro also learns to use some new abilities, which enables him to swim, climb and headbash, to name some. This makes for a much greater diversity in the levels, and that surely adds.

Spyro 2 is probably somewhat easier than it's predecessor, although the level bosses sure pack a punch. They're quite difficult at first, but with proper practise they'll be fairly easy to beat in the end. The speedways on the other hand are tremendously easier than in the first game. Whereas in the first game, they could cause some great frustration, the speedways in Ripto's Rage are just enjoyable. Bonus games are also added, in which you often have to compete against or do something insignificant for companion Hunter. The bonus games are overall quite fun, although some can become somewhat frustrating at times. The levels in general have not only become more diverse, they're also bigger now.

The graphics have improved as well, and look fairly good. The colors are bright as ever, which makes the atmosphere even more enjoyable. The sound is brilliant as well. Neat voice-acting, and a stunning soundtrack by former The Police-drummer Stewart Copeland (sadly not available on CD... yet?) in combination with all the other positive points I mentioned before, make for one of the finest games on PlayStation ever, enjoyable for everyone.

Better than Spyro The Dragon

This game is a great game. It has awesome worlds.The music is good. And it separates itself from the others. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't really have a big story line. Spyro The Dragon, you had to find crystal dragons around the worlds. In Spyro Year of the Dragon, you collected eggs. In this one, all you really did is collected gems. But besides that, it's a good game. I do recommend it.

Simply the best the Playstation has to offer

Its not nearly as good as the first one. Lands are to hard to find and its hard to figure out where you're going and where you have been. No logical order. Very displeased with this game.
