Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! 1999

Is it still worth playing?

Spyro plans a vacation but is transported to the realm of Avalar, where the sorcerer Ripto is causing havoc. In this 1999 PlayStation platformer, called Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer in PAL regions, he joins its inhabitants to face him. Spyro uses flame breath, a charge attack and gliding. His health shows in the color of his dragonfly partner Sparx, who recovers it by eating butterflies, and a bottled butterfly restores it fully and grants an extra life. The game has three homeworlds with portals to realms, and a talisman from each realm is needed to reach a homeworld's boss. Orbs earned from tasks for characters, such as lighting lamps, open some of the portals. Collecting talismans and orbs keeps its goals clear, which still helps today.
