1999 Vintage RARE to Find Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer - Sony Playstation PS1 Video Game

Condition: In Very Good Condition - it comes with another Game's case, but not its own - please see second and third photo.

The Story

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...

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.

The gems have changed a little from the previous game. They are now more shaped then before and one has been changed colour completely.

Yellow 10

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
