To be honest, many of these cut scenes are rather silly, but they and the inhabitants of each level do serve to add more life to the game.
Not only are the locations more varied and creative, there is also a short cut scene before and after and a lot more characters to speak to.
On a more positive note, the stages are more interesting this time around. Half the time, when I pressed the button to hover, Spyro would simply drop to the ground instead, which sometimes resulted in extra deaths and often resulted in me having to climb back up to a higher spot in order to attempt it again. I was not really a big fan of this ability, as it had the habit of making jumps a bit more difficult and wasn’t always the easiest to control. Spyro is also given the hover ability right from the start, where he can get a little bit of extra air at the end of a glide. While this is generally a nice addition, you are required to backtrack occasionally in order to get 100%, which was not the case with the first game. Gameplay is pretty similar, though Spyro does gain a few new abilities throughout the game, such as the ability to swim underwater and climb. There is also a bit more of a story in this game, which is nice. One character that I have not seen in later installments was the faun Elora, which is a shame because I actually really liked her.
To start, Spyro 2 introduces new characters, including several that make appearances in future Spyro games, such as your new ally, Hunter and the new villain, Ripto. While there are a lot of improvements, there were plenty of frustrating moments, as well. As is often the case with sequels, Spyro 2 adds a lot of new features to the Spyro formula. I have now completed the first two Spyro games in the Reignited Trilogy, so it is time for another review.
