Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage Review

Customer Ratings:

I really enjoyed the first Spryo because of the fun and imaginative gameplay that involved fanciful levels and a loveable cast of characters. The first time I played Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, I was amazed at how much the graphics had improved. If you loved the scenery in Spyro, you'll love the beautiful levels in Spyro 2. In this game, you have several new challenges and abilities. In Spyro 2, you get to swim underwater, which really adds something to the gameplay. Another addition is the orb, which Spyro can get for completing challenges. Although the challenges are sometimes tedious, this is also an interesting addition because it allows you to test your abilities. Spyro 2 expands on the fun and creativity of the first Spyro, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves fun, fantastical gameplay and especially to those who enjoyed the first Spyro.

As much as I loved the original Spyro -the sequel blows it away.

Everything that I liked best about the original -the interactivity, the detailed and sophisticated environments and fun stuff like blowing things away with cannons -is back and cranked up several notches.

Everything that made the original game sometimes seem repetitive -doing nothing but collecting gems and dragons, the tiny worlds, only being able to use a few moves in any given environment -is dumped.

And while this game really is perfect for kids -the worst thing in it is some cartoon violence of dinosaurs swallowing cavemen and spitting out an enormous bone -it's a hoot for adults, with lots of subtle humor and a game that's challenging enough without having anything as frustrating as Tree Tops from the original game.

An instant classic.
