Spyro 2 is the sequel to best selling Spyro the Dragon and is also a 3D platformer. In this game Spyro is tasked with accumulating talismans and orbs so that he has enough magic to defeat Ripto, who is destroying the world of Avalar.

General

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! is the sequel to the 1998 Playstation hit Spyro the Dragon. Ripto's Rage was developed by Insomniac Games, as was its predecessor. It is known as Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer in Europe and Australia, and Spyro x Sparx: Tondemo Tours in Japan.

While the first Spyro game took place in the Dragon Worlds, the second game sees Spyro exploring the land of Avalar.  Avalar has been invaded by a sorceror named Ripto, and Spyro must do his job, burn Ripto to a crisp, and save Avalar.

The game was made available on Playstation Network on July 27, 2007, though it was removed a week later due to emulation problems.

Gameplay

Spyro 2 is a platform game, and most gameplay elements from the original were carried over to the sequel. Spyro has two main attacks, the traditional dragon power of fire breath, and a charging attack. Players must creatively utilize Spyro's abilities to take down the enemies throughout the game. Using his wings, Spyro can glide across each level, depending on how high Spyro is when he begins his glide. Spyro uses his gliding abilities to get past many obstacles, and use updrafts to travel further.

The main point of the game is to get through each level and earn that level's talisman, collecting gems along the way.  There are also "sidequests" that can be completed for orbs, which are necessary to unlock certain levels.

Spyro also gains new abilites in this sequel.  A character named Moneybags is introduced, and Spyro can purchase new moves from him.  Over the course of the game, you can eventually buy swimming, ladder climbing, and headbash skills.  Spyro can also power up using special gates that are activated one a certain number of enemies are defeated.

Spyro also features some events which alternate how the game is played, such as roller coaster sections.

The game is divided into three worlds, each with their own unique levels.  There is also a bonus world, Dragon Shores.
