Product Description
Spyro 2 is the sequel to the charming, family-friendly Spyro the Dragon adventure game. Spyro is the same lovable dragon, but his challenges are now larger and more complex. Help him fly and head-butt his way through incredible new 3D fantasy worlds with more puzzle elements and bonus levels. Made in USA.
Editorial Review
The feisty little adolescent dragon is back in a sequel that is far superior to the original. Both Spyro fans and those who didn't play the first game will revel in the exploratory greatness that is Spyro: Ripto's Rage. Gone are the impossible tasks, unbeatable enemies, and fragmented game flow. This game sports superior controls, more colorful and faster graphics, a tighter story, achievable goals, and plenty of gameplay variety. Don't be fooled by Spyro's cuteness--this isn't a kid's-only game. With multiple goals and side quests, a fantastic soundtrack by ex-Police band member Stewart Copeland, and a veneer of understated humor, Spyro: Ripto's Rage is highly addictive. The playfulness of the main character comes through in the exploration of the otherworldly levels using the new moves, including super high jumps, rapid underwater swimming, and extended flight and hovering maneuvers. Determined explorers are always rewarded--sometimes with an ice hockey match or other sub-game, sometimes with riches enough to learn a new move or uncover a new area. Simply put, Spyro: Ripto's Rageis one of the best action/adventure games for the system. Despite the fact that this game is a sequel, it manages to bring a fresh new look and feel to PlayStation gaming. --Jeff Young Pros: - Massive, fun levels are completely navigable
- Cute and quirky sense of humor will appeal to all ages
- Responsive controls are an extension of Spyro's upbeat and exacting personality
Cons: - Camera angles can be problematic, but are completely adjustable

I HAVEN`T RECIEVED MY ITEM YET!ITS BEEN OVER A MONTH!!!!!IF I KNEW THAT IT WOULD TAKE THIS LONG I WOULD NOT HAVE BOTHERED!THIS REALLY SUCKS!
 My favorite game of all time! June 18, 2008
When I first go this game when I was 8 I immediately fell in love with it. It's much better than the first Spyro, and the new levels and abilities make it even better, I especially love the Winter Tundra world. I noticed that this game seems to be easier than the 1st one. This game is definetely worth buying, if my disc still worked I'd be playing it right now!
GREAT! March 11, 2008
This is an GREAT game. The game was shipped and received when they said. I also got it in perfect factory condition. I would recommend any one purchasing Spyro 2 for Playstation from this site.
 A KIDS GAME THAT'S ACTUALLY ENJOYABLE 8.25 OUT OF 10 January 3, 2008
I was surprised that I actually had fun with this game, because I usually hate kids games aside from retro Nintendo classics, Over the Hedge, and the Cars games. The storyline is about Spyro and his dragon fly companion who want to go to the beach, but instead get caught up in trying to stop an evil villain named Ripto and have to retrieve fourteen talismans to stop Ripto and save many worlds in the process. This game may revolve around killing stupid enemies, finding items, and collecting a lot of jewels, but it never really feels repetitive, mostly just fun and over the top because of your strange companions and enemies. The biggest problems with this game are the graphics, controls, and camera troubles, which can get you killed during certain gameplay sequences. But while this may sound like a long list of complaints, this game never really feels hampered by its flaws, but rather fun that anyone can enjoy if they appreciate it enough. Too bad the series seems to suck with critics these days, ever since the time Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment officially sold the rights of the series to Vivendi (a.k.a. Sierra). Hey Vivendi, can you get a developer who's good at making games to make the next entry so the series doesn't suck anymore? Because it really doesn't deserve it. This game will always be a fun platformer and while it may not compete with other platformers of its time like Super Mario 64 and Tomb Raider, it does put up a good fight despite its age.
 Bought it for the kids. October 24, 2007
Bought it for the kids. They can play it for hours on end. Me - I can't stand it! The levels are all basically the same and so it gets repetitive in hurry. Kids will love it, adults will get bored quickly. Makes a great Christmas present for the kids!
