Spyro decided to take a holiday to Dragon Shores. He invited his best friend Sparx to join him and together the duo soared through a magic gateway, off for a well-earned vacation. They were going to rest up from their victory over Gnasty Gnorc in their first adventure. But fate was about to throw a wrench in their travel plans.
Far away, the bitter and twisted Ripto, a dinosaur-riding troublemaker, along with his henchmen Crush and Gulp, had taken control of the beautiful land of Avalar. Ripto was a classic example of the "Napoleon Complex" - a little guy who felt he must take on the world - frustrated, short tempered and spiteful. Having stolen a magic sceptre, he was using his new-found power to pick on everyone and generally spoil the peace and quiet of Avalar. He was making life miserable with his magical spells...
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, or as it's also known, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, was the second Spyro game to appear. And as with Spyro the Dragon, this was a PlayStation exclusive.
This second game in the original trilogy, takes Spyro from his home in the Dragon Realms, to a distant unknown land of Avalar. Here Spyro meets plenty of new friends as well as some enemies too. He also learns some brand new moves to boot.

The Story
Here's the official word on the story from the SpyrotheDragon.com website:
The Controls
All controls are the same whatever level you are in, and here they all are:
| X | Jump. Press again when in the air to glide. |
| Square | Charge |
| Circle | Flame |
| Triangle | Look around in front of you/Stop glide (when gliding) |
| R1/L1 | Spin camera Right/Left |
| R2/L2 | Spin camera right/left |
| START | Access the pause menu |
| SELECT | View Gems, Lives, Kills and Collection |
| D-Pad/Left Analog Stick | Move around |
| L1+L2+R1+R2 | Sparx will point at the closest gem |
| X then Triangle | Peform Headbash (Only works if you've bought the skill) |
The gems have changed a little from the previous game. They are now more shaped then before and one has been changed colour completely.
| Gem Colour | Gem Value |
| Red | 1 |
| Green | 2 |
| Purple | 5 |
| Yellow | 10 |
| Pink | 25 |
They also now come in different containers. Flamable Baskets, Chargeable Vases, Exploding Vases, Unbreakable Chests, Headbash Chests and just lying about on the floor. You will no longer get gems from killing things as they will only release Spirit Particles now.
Gameplay Basics
Here are a few things that you should know before playing this game:
- You are in a different world than in Spyro the Dragon, and as such, all the creatures you will meet are new
- When you kill something, no longer will it spew a gem, it will release a spirit particle. This life force can activate a powerup when you reach a certain number of kills in that level
- No more Dragon freeing, here you collect Talismans and Orbs
- All butterflies will now be eaten by Sparx, whether or not he's hungry
- There is now a special blue butterfly which both fully heals Sparx and gives Spyro an extra life
- You will be set many challenges in the game to earn the Orbs
- Due to this, the citizens of Avalar are a lot more talkative then anyone in the Dragon Realms
Now it's time to get started with the game:
Summer Forest

@Cynderstar12 shove it in the usb drive with all the force you can

@spyroglitcher: That sounds amazing!
My memory card isn't formatted. :L
@cinderstar12 I do, I have been working on this for a while. I have been working on only two things longer; Zaper Zero the Light Speed Hero story (Its a long story of how I came up with the idea) and SSBC or Super Smash Bros. Combat, the sequel to brawl melee and brothers. SSBC has 20 bosses, over 80 charecters, like 20 game modes as well, a level and item system, and even a costume and customizable character that looks like your mii in the wii version. I have been working on it with one friend and so far it is the biggest game of all time in length and unlockables, and it's still a work in progress. SSBC is my crown of ideas. We have all videogame icons, now I'm gonna make a topic about it.
oops did i just say my name out loud
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I FINALLY COMPLETED THIS GAME 100%! THE LAST THING I NEEDED WAS THE ORB IN FRACTURE HILLS WHERE HUNTER SHOOTS THE EARTHSHAPERS!

You can just buy a new CD. If you have the game saved on your memory card, you can still play the same game.
wwwaaaaahhhhhh! Mine still won't work, I've tried every home cleaning trick, the toothpaste one and everything!
@spyroglitcher: You have this all very well planned out, don't you? Heehee! I'd buy, your version, it sounds challenging.
Why thank you, I already have an idea of how Breeze Harbor, a giant sea serpent smashes up the pipes. You have to use like tunnels and stuff to get around, ones that it has destroyed, also each level would have a post level boss you can optionally fight. If you beat all of them in a hub (like summer forest) you can fight a super sub boss, a redone graphics version of the Spyro 2 bosses.
@spyroglitcher That would be amazing!
I hope there is a new (yet unlikely) spyro game from insomniac, probably with like a remixed version of the levels.
yes. it is
