About

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! is the second game in the Spyro the Dragon series. In this game, Spyro is placed in the land of Avalar rather than the Dragon Worlds. Gameplay flows like the original game Spyro the Dragon, with few variations in control and Spyro's main abilities intact. The only notable difference is the removal of Spyro's side-rolling ability, previously activated by L1 and R1.

What players say

A bright, joyful collect-a-thon platformer with lovable characters, cheerful music, and clean colorful worlds, refining the original's formula into one of the best-feeling platformers on PS1. Many consider it the high point of the series even if it's less iconic than the first game.
