Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The feisty little adolescent dragon is back in Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, a sequel that is far superior to the original. Both Spyro fans and those who didn't play the first game will revel its exploratory greatness. Gone are the impossible tasks, unbeatable enemies, and fragmented game flow. This game sports superior controls, more colourful 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 children's-only game. With multiple goals and side quests, a fantastic soundtrack by ex-Police band member Stewart Copeland, and a veneer of understated humour, this 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 manoeuvres.

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 2 is 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Certainly one of the best Spyro's., 12 April 2006
By Spyro Madgirl "~ Tasha ~" (Sheffield, South Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Spyro: Gateway to Glimmer or Spyro: Ripto's Rage, is a very good game. It has many friendly characters to talk to, unlike the first game.

From the dusty desert to the deepest depths or the icy plains to the sunny coast, this game has many new places to explore.

The video clips are funny, and you get to view them in a theatre at the end of the game.

Learn new skills such as swimming underwater, climbing and headbashing as you fight your way towards Ripto's Arena. Beat riptocs, pay gems and even ride shark submarines in Spyro's second adventure.

Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Last One To Avalar Is A Gnorc!, 24 Jul 2006
By Mrs. Dawnc Alexandre "morning623" (Jersey (CI)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
At the time when I was addicted to Spyro The Dragon (1998/1999), I was interested in continuing the Spyro legacy by finding and playing more Spyro games! In the end I got the 2nd Spyro game for my birthday around the early millennium (maybe September 1999). I was so excited to play it, that I had my first attempts at it without a memory card, and I was just sitting their, playing the game for a good couple of hours!

I finished the game a good old few times, but it was placed in my CD wallet for a good old period of time. Now, going back to the Playstation 1 world, I popped on this classical game and finished it within 3 days. Even though, there's probably more to do on this Spyro game, than Spyro The Dragon! It took me shorter time to complete Spyro 2 than Spyro 1! Roughly, 3 nights, since it's that addicting!

Continuing the story forward from Spyro 1! Spyro and his best friend Sparx were getting bored back in the Dragon Land, as it's the Rainy Season and Spyro forgot what the sun looked like! He then decided to take himself and Sparx for a vacation in a portal called Dragon Shores! Unfortunately, the portal didn't take him to his destination, as he was taken to the land of Avalar! He arrived at Avalar and got told by Elora (A Faun), Hunter (A Cheeky Cheetah) and the Professor (A Mole Professor), that their home world has been taken control by a evil toad called Ripto, and they needed a hero to take out Ripto for good! Spyro knew he couldn't walk back to the rainy worlds so he accepted the request, which brings a new adventure for the young hero!

Throughout this second adventure, Spyro will have to use both old and new moves in order to take out this menacing toad for good! As well as charging and sptting flames on his minions, he'll have to learn to dip in the underwater oceans and climb up some steep hills and ladders! Have you got what it takes to unravel the mysteries of Avalar, and allow Spyro to get his first view at Dragon Shores?

My Personal Gaming Score: 9.6/10: Cool, Sweet, A Big Good Old Blast

My Wish: I'd like to see Sony designing a Playstation 2 game, which has all of the original Spyro The Dragon games in one pack (Spyro 1, Spyro 2, Spyro 3 etc)!

Final Comments: A excellent sequel, and I must say, it's one of the best Spyro games among the Spyro The Dragon career! A must have for the Spyro The Dragon legacy or collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great all - round game, 12 Jul 2001
Very different from the first game, and yet I can't quite put my finger on the reason. This game is the best I've played since MetalGear Solid, and so deserves five stars. Spyro 2 is a much larger, harder and more complex game than the first, and will take you much longer to complete. They are very opposite games in atmosphere and I recommend that you own the pair. Play them in order, as an intro Spyro is perfect to help you when you first play the immense challenge of the sequel. The characters, the areas you return to and the time spent trying to beat Hunter at the speedways is unforgettable. If you persevere you will discover a much deeper game than you first expected.Great!
