The Feature Film

Spyro 2. New moves, familiar voices.

Twenty-seven years since that detour to Avalar.

Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! launched for the original PlayStation in North America on November 2, 1999. Swimming, climbing and headbash gave Spyro new ways to explore, while orb challenges made those earlier worlds worth another visit.
