Replay – Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage
Depending on what part of the world you reside in, Spyro 2 may carry the subhead "Ripto's Rage," "Gateway to Glimmer," or "Tondemo Tours." Regardless of the name, this sequel delivers excellent platforming action. Taking place a few years after the defeat of Gnasty Gnork, Spyro is slightly older in this follow-up – his horns are longer, his fire spray a little more dynamic, and he's added a flutter ability to flight skills.
We dive into the opening moments of this game, which give us a look at the gameplay improvements, and Spyro's nemesis, Ripto, an evil dictator who was invaded the kingdom of Avalar. Per usual, Tim Turi is on the sticks for this extensive journey into Spyro's world. This week's interlude segment dives deep into Ben Hanson's weird appreciation of old things, and our final segment is a competition with a strict set of easily followable rules.
Sit back and enjoy the ride and we'll see you again in seven days with another episode!
