So off he goes to fight Ripto, a Napoleon-esque shorty, with a staple of hulking beasts and other baddies to help him spread evil over the land. And since he's an all-around decent dragon, he obliges. Basically, the story goes like this: On the way to a much-needed vacation, Spyro gets whisked away to a world in need of assistance. From what we've seen, they're very funny. In between levels, Spyro 2's story is delivered via cinematics using in-game graphics. He can now shoot things from his mouth (after gobbling them up), swim, ice skate and gain other special abilities (like supercharge, superspit and our favorite, superfly) by solving puzzles within a level. In fact, there's some 29 themed levels now.įortunately Spyro has a slew of new ways to fight his way through these levels. Thus, Spyro 2 plays more like a Banjo-Kazooie type of game than before-there's more stuff to do, and a bigger number of levels to do them in. Gameplay is broken up into two main objective types: Talisman tasks, the primary objectives every player will take part in, and Orb tasks, the secondary, more skill-based objectives hardcore gamers will thrive on. Spyro 2 has loads of mini-games (like hockey and billiards), puzzles and over 100 NPCs to interact with (some who present Spyro with a task or ask for a sum of gems in order to pass a certain obstacle).

Novice gamers will still have a good time, but there's more complicated tasks for the hardcore gamer to complete-thus extending the life of the game further for those who want it extended. Well, if you were disappointed with the first Spyro in this regard, you'll be glad to know the difficulty has been increased. The main complaint about the original was the lack of difficulty for experienced players.
