This is purely my headcanon...But I would suggest that Spyro beat Gnasty Gnorc again (offscreen) between 1 and 2 (after "here we go again"), and THAT is why he feels he needs a vacation. Going through all that ONCE would be enough, but TWICE? Yeah, the guy deserves a vacation.
Yeah that may actually be what happened since at the end of Spyro 1 some dragons were shown being re-crystallized, which kinda suggests Gnasty Gnorc wasn't really defeated....
Though you STILL need the Head Slam attack to trigger the second half with Hunter, though if the Earthshapers are already dead then it will start and then immediately end.
I thought that’s a moot point anyway though, because don’t you have to get all the orbs to get that power up? Why would you redo that mission? It was one of the worst in the game imo lol
@@firehedgehog1446 Europe isn't just one goverment making these weird decisions. Mostly Germany and UK wants these changes and I don't get it. Also, Ripto's Rage sounds more like a revenge story that should follow after Ripto's first defeat (he doesn't die from the lava, you'll see it after getting all the skill points). The best name would be Gateway to Avalar.
Do what I did with the Kingdom Heart's video and go see him at a convention and ask him about where the video is at ? Trust me, the guy loves it when you do that.
Zoe in Colossus said those "enemy souls" are called spirit particles and even told you its purpose ...At least I think it was in Colossus. At the very least, the game did specify what it was
How funny you uploaded this review right on the same day the Spyro Twitter posted a video showcasing the cutscene with Elora callling Spyro a dork in Ripto's Rage in the Reignited Trilogy. Good timing there dude!
Fun Fact: The music from each of the hub worlds is just a single looped sample from a library. The library is called Distorted Reality 2, made by Spectrasonics. Actually, this library is used quite often throughout the soundtrack, with some examples being the music from the levels Hurricos, Aquaria Towers, Idol Springs, Skelos Badlands and Zephyr.
As a kid I always new this game was magical. I love the look and feel of this game. I will never forget playing hockey as Spyro Also moneybags should have an EA logo on him ;)
Just an FYI: a lot of times names are changed in Europe to make translations easier; Ripto may not be easily written, or may sound similar to a word in a language, or Rage might have bad connotations in some region. Rather than making that sort of mistake, they give it "Gateway to Glimmer" which can be nicely translated into every language.
The Elder One I think they did it to avoid translation issues. They got “Ripto” from the Japanese characters for “Spyro” so I think it would look weird if Ripto appeared in the title
This is my favorite of the trilogy. I can't even explain why but when I think of my favorite Spyro levels, Idol Springs, Skelos Badlands, and Metropolis quickly come to mind. Also that fetch quest in Mystic Marsh is probably the most memorable mini game in any of the games to me. The Home Worlds are also soooooo iconic
Oh no...that's not the Greatest Hits Version of Year of the Dragon I saw you holding. :/ The normal version of that game had an incomplete soundtrack, and reused music tracks that don't fit the levels at all. Please, review the GH version! The soundtrack is worth it!
The game does specify what the soul things are. 'Spirit Particles' is what Zoe calls them early on in the game. So yes. Spyro gains new powers through soul harvesting.
1.) In the first level of the game, Zoe, the fairy who save your progress says that when you defeat an enemy you release their 'Spirit Particle' 2.) In The game, Hunter says the alchemist turned his Shoes into concrete. The alchemist told him that he could turn Hunter's shoes into gold, and botched it. -just thought I would answer those things that you were pondering in the video. I knew the answer, because I literally just played through the game again yesterday. Lol
Spyro: oh hey that looks like a nice place to go to Sparks: yeah sure, it’s nice to take a bre- Plot: screw you save the world again Sparks and Spyro: NO, NO I WANT TO RELAX OKAY?!?! Plot: (raises a gun) *. . . D e w I t*
...come to think of it, Ratchet and Clank did something similar with game 2, but on the opposite side of the coin, where the heroes had TOO MUCH vacation before being called into action. xD
Clank had too much vacation. Ratchet was put through rigorous training. Then in both the third Ratchet AND Spyro games, you assemble a larger team of fighters!
It's called 'Gateway to Glimmer' here in Australia too! Every time I heard 'Ripto's Rage' I thought it was an entirely different game that I was missing.
Nice review. I adore Spyro 2. Easily my favorite of the original trilogy and favorite Spyro game of all time. Can't wait to play it in the Reginited trilogy.
Okay even though I'm seeing this in 2020 I'd like to address the regional name differences of this game: I love how Caddicarus was like: "The f*ck, why would y'all Americans call this game "Ripto's Rage" which implies that he's a returning character but we've never seen him before" And AntDude's like: "Aye, what kept you from naming this game "Ripto's Rage", this just makes sense, "Gateway to glimmer"? Pah, nah, "Ripto's Rage" makes way more sense." XD
Just saying it now, Spyro 2 is the best in the trilogy, but I could have said the third game, but I never played it until years later. And I'm still waiting for that Metroid to be gone from Kirby's head.
Reverse that for me; Played Spyro 3 when I was a little tyke but never Spyro 2.... until much later. So to me, Spyro 3 will always be the best, though Spyro 2 is also an amazing game as well!
Yeah I think Spyro 3 has the most impressive variety and really improved on everything I didn't like about Spyro 2, so it isn't even close for me. In fact, I would probably rank Spyro 2 last in the trilogy. Still a great game, though, no doubt.
Let me explain about Idols: you get Idols so you can move on to the next world. Seeing how the third world is the last, naturally, there aren't any Idols. It's that simple. In Super Mario 64, you still get stars because you need them to get through the last door.
I always loved the voices in this game, the way it sounds like they don't have pop filters and you can hear all the Ps and Ts pop, idk I just love it in this game it's just nostalgic for me. I miss it in the remaster..
Try to explain the name of the first Crash Bandicoot GBA game being changed from The HUGE Adventure to just XS. Sure, it too makes sense as the NA title, I don't understand why...
"Rage" means rabies in French so I guess it's possible. My understanding though, and I don't remember where I heard it, is that they thought people would be confused by having Ripto's name in the title because no one knew who he was and it's similar to Spyro?
@@loganbuckeye11 thats pretty stupid, then explain why underrated games exist and why assasins creed or cod gets good reviews every year... I trust my own critical sense.
@@core_file374 Story wise yeah but the gameplay and graphics hold up. I just don't get why they took off the L1 jumping from earlier games that let you control camera all the time.
6:08 This is the truest rage man. Screw that mission. It's a reeeeeeal pain! Wonderful video man! I just can't wait for that new Spyro Trilogy to finally come out!
This was easily my favorite of the 3. I spent so much time on this one. This one also may have been the one where I transitioned from clueless kid to hardcore 100% completionist.
Same here. Idek why but any time someone asks me what my favorite Spyro level is, my mind fills with Spyro 2's levels. I love all 3 so much but this one stands out for a reason I just can't figure out
the 'my pencil' lines was one of the most memorable in the german version, too xD 'mein bleistift' in that high pitched voice will always be stuck in my head
Ripto's Rage was one of the few PS1 games I owned and played on my PS2 but it spawned some of my favorite childhood memories. At some point, though, our copy of it just got lost or sold or something. It's the reason why I'm looking forward to the Reignited Trilogy: so I can reexperience that game I've been longing to play again for so long.
I did the exact same thing with the homeworlds and just wandering around them as a kid. Between the music, the amazing colors, and the little touches like leaves gently falling, it was almost a dreamlike experience wandering through those homeworlds. To the young me, it evoked this sense of imagination and wonder, made me feel like beyond that polygonal horizon was limitless adventure and possibility in a world better than the one we live in (you know, the one with all the, uh... terrorism). I know that sounds corny as hell, but... there you go.
Well considering it wouldn't be taking it out.. it would be something they'd have to add in since it's a new engine it's probably more complicated then you think.
I mean, if these are the same people that did the Crash trilogy (I'm not really keeping up here), they kept some unintending tricks and glitches intact there.
I can sum this game up with one word: variety It's truly my favorite of the series. Not trying to spoil anything but if you're a spyro fan like me and haven't gotten the remaster yet, do it! The hair pulling out tasks like the lava lizard eggs in skelos badlands, the ice crystals in magma cone and the trolley in breezebuilder are all less annoying now. Which is pretty neat. I think the upgrade was the ability to move the camera more freely. Spyro has been in my life longer than any pet I've owned, it's been there as an escape from the boring humdrum of daily life for countless hours and I knew it to the inch. One summer I had a busted foot healing from a track race injury in high school and played every day and night. Had nothing better to do. Yes, I was that fan that played ps1 games through the ps3 era and even now while I've also gotten a ps4. Sometimes the classics are the best 😄💜
Everytime I try to sleep, I hear this faint chant in my head: "Trouble with the trolley, eh? Trouble with the trolley, eh? Trouble with the trolley, eh? Trouble with the trolley, eh?"
Great video once again. And BTW, how do you think of that little redesign for Elora that was revealed today? I think it's great (along with that cutscene in general).
I remember when I was a kid, and my dad had the Spyro collector’s trilogy. I had so much fun going through all these games. Spyro 2 is easily the one that I have played the most and I still replay it to this day. To be fair, Spyro 3 is my favorite but I ended up letting someone borrow it and... yeah, I only have 1 and 2 now. I had a blast playing Spyro when I was 7, and I still have a blast playing it when I’m 17. I am so excited for the reignited trilogy, and I can’t wait until you get to Spyro 3 antdude. Remember to have fun, feel free to spend days in the enchanted towers skate park : ).
That little hover at the end of the glide looks like it’s the best addition, I can’t count the amount of jump in Spyro 1 that came just short of a platform when I played it.
I think the way the first Spyro ended does actually make sense in the context of the sequel. The first game ends on a supposed cliffhanger, but in the context of the second game, it implies that Spyro had to undergo one or more offscreen adventures between the first game and the second, and thus why he's so thirsty for a break.
You know that is Also Weird? You said that In Europe, it's called Gateway of Glimmer but you Don't even knew what's the Name of the Japanese Version of Ripto's Rage... It was called "Spyro and Sparx: Tondemo Tours". The Japanese version is the Weirdest one than the European Version.
Another great review! You did so much research for this video, shows your passion for this game. Taught me some things I never knew, like the double jump! I'd definitely recommend this video to anyone that hasn't played spyro in a long time.
I had forgotten all about the alchemist until you mentioned him and showed him on-screen. I was immediately triggered when reminded of it. So many curse words were spewed when escorting that little piece of--
it's like sunshine. Mario want's to go on a vacation, but has to defeat shadow mario instead. Spyro just wants to go on a vacation, but has to help the dudes
This is purely my headcanon...But I would suggest that Spyro beat Gnasty Gnorc again (offscreen) between 1 and 2 (after "here we go again"), and THAT is why he feels he needs a vacation. Going through all that ONCE would be enough, but TWICE? Yeah, the guy deserves a vacation.
Yeah that may actually be what happened since at the end of Spyro 1 some dragons were shown being re-crystallized, which kinda suggests Gnasty Gnorc wasn't really defeated....
I still think, that it's just the Developers way of saying "Now YOU can play the game again"
I thought the literal exact same thing
"Piece of Garbage" and "Entitled Trash Bear" are exceptionally accurate when describing MoneyBags
Scumbag
Trashbags. Shitbag.
18:29
That permanent powerup can also kill the Earthshapers, so the Alchemist mission becomes a snap.
Thank goodness! So much more satisfying the second time around. I can't remember if you can clear them out before talking to the Alchemist or not.
Though you STILL need the Head Slam attack to trigger the second half with Hunter, though if the Earthshapers are already dead then it will start and then immediately end.
I thought that’s a moot point anyway though, because don’t you have to get all the orbs to get that power up? Why would you redo that mission? It was one of the worst in the game imo lol
Could we break Hunter's leg for his birthday, that way he can't keep up during the crystal popcorn minigame?
Garrulous64 I don't even remember that minigame but I don't doubt I'll want to break his legs in the remaster.
Bianca can fix him later.
Should we speak about the fu**ing alchemist for crying out loud?
Then would it be, hunter... Stay!
Garrulous64 *hell just scream towards the heavens saying "UAAAUUAUAAAAUAAAAA"*
Fun Fact: The guy who voiced Ripto and Hunter the Cheetah in this game, also voiced Grimlock in Transformers and Odie the Dog from Garfield.
And Jecht from FFX.
Gregg Berger voiced Hunter, Ripto, AND Odie? AND Jecht?

Connor Piercy doesn't talk ≠ doesn't make noise
Someone still needs to record the noises Odie makes
Cool
7:58 "It's not until we get out of Avalar"
You mean Glimmer. The entire world is Avalar.
I noticed that too XD
"It's not until we get out of Avalar..." Dude, THE WHOLE GAME! takes place in Avalar, the first level is Glimmer
Who names their game after the first level? That’s like calling Jak 1 Jak and Daxter: Portal to Geyser Rock. Yeah, AND?

the autumn plains music makes me so emotional...what a beautiful hubworld
I know this is a very late comment but you put everything I ever thought about Ripto's Rage into a great video
I love how Hunter's birthday is what fucks up Avalar. To think that Ripto never would've spawned from the portal if he was born on another day.
Nice review. I adore Spyro 2. Easily my favorite of the original trilogy and favorite Spyro game of all time. Can't wait to play it in the Reginited trilogy.
Okay even though I'm seeing this in 2020 I'd like to address the regional name differences of this game:
I love how Caddicarus was like: "The f*ck, why would y'all Americans call this game "Ripto's Rage" which implies that he's a returning character but we've never seen him before"

This review is absolutely amazing. One of the best I’ve ever seen.
14:02 it is possible to get over the ladder section in Glimmer without the double jump trick, but it does take several tries to pull it off.
As a kid this was the first game I ever 100% completed. Holds a special place in my heart because of that.
This is one of my favorite games of all time. I was amazed of all that they brought. Dragon Shores really lifted me up.

One summer I had a busted foot healing from a track race injury in high school and played every day and night. Had nothing better to do. Yes, I was that fan that played ps1 games through the ps3 era and even now while I've also gotten a ps4. Sometimes the classics are the best 😄💜
So when is he doing a Danganronpa video? I always see that monokuma in the background.
Everytime I try to sleep, I hear this faint chant in my head: "Trouble with the trolley, eh? Trouble with the trolley, eh? Trouble with the trolley, eh? Trouble with the trolley, eh?"

Fantastic review, AntDude. You even mentioned the Skill Points, which is something that many reviewers missed.
Moneybags sounds a lot like a certain greedy company that everyone hates
*cough* EA *cough*

19:45 Oh, hmm, I wonder if the developers of Enter the Dragonfly saw that and used that as their excuse to bring Ripto back in EID.
Great video once again. And BTW, how do you think of that little redesign for Elora that was revealed today? I think it's great (along with that cutscene in general).
I had no clue the double jump wasn't by design! That really explains a lot of the games quirks.
Do a video on the Dillon Trilogy
I remember when I was a kid, and my dad had the Spyro collector’s trilogy. I had so much fun going through all these games. Spyro 2 is easily the one that I have played the most and I still replay it to this day. To be fair, Spyro 3 is my favorite but I ended up letting someone borrow it and... yeah, I only have 1 and 2 now. I had a blast playing Spyro when I was 7, and I still have a blast playing it when I’m 17. I am so excited for the reignited trilogy, and I can’t wait until you get to Spyro 3 antdude. Remember to have fun, feel free to spend days in the enchanted towers skate park : ).
So by borrow you mean stole
-Woomy- Wrong video.
Well Woomy anyways.
Also Veemo!
This isnt splatoon lol
That’s the point.
Woomy
(Nice)
One time I swear I heard a inkling say nice but with a o
6:11 My words exactly when i played that part antdude
since insomniac is an american company, "2 2 4 7 5" more likely refers to February 24th, 1975
Insomniac actually confirmed it is April 22nd
Ripto's rage is my favorite of the trillogy as well. I adore that game.
AntDude you have to do a Kirby Avalanche video
But Kirby is getting eating by Metroid
That little hover at the end of the glide looks like it’s the best addition, I can’t count the amount of jump in Spyro 1 that came just short of a platform when I played it.
Hello, you won’t know why I edited this. Edit: you don’t know if this was the actual edit.
PersonMan Productions that’s the point, I said that you don’t know which point was edited and I also said you don’t know why I even edited it.
Jenga aaaand they deleted that comment
Apparently you also won't know what the original argument was over said edit
Dang, a purple dragon shaped cake sounds delicious.
Hello childhood. Nice to see you again.
When you mentioned the “My Pencil!” line, I thought a certain Spongebob reference would be heard. 😆
I think the way the first Spyro ended does actually make sense in the context of the sequel.
The first game ends on a supposed cliffhanger, but in the context of the second game, it implies that Spyro had to undergo one or more offscreen adventures between the first game and the second, and thus why he's so thirsty for a break.
Zoe calls the "soul" a "spirit particle", for what it's worth. Still brutal
Hunter's birthday was 3 days ago and I forgot to get something, I feel bad
You know that is Also Weird? You said that In Europe, it's called Gateway of Glimmer but you Don't even knew what's the Name of the Japanese Version of Ripto's Rage... It was called "Spyro and Sparx: Tondemo Tours".
The Japanese version is the Weirdest one than the European Version.
Another great review! You did so much research for this video, shows your passion for this game. Taught me some things I never knew, like the double jump! I'd definitely recommend this video to anyone that hasn't played spyro in a long time.
I mean, when you think about it, fighting on both sides of a war so that you're the last one standing does seem a very dragonish thing to do.
How old were you when you realized the professor was a mole? Because I was today old...
“Gulp take me home! I need a band-aid!”
These spyro videos have been fantastic. Also, I feel the same way about Autumn Plains. It's such a perfect setting.
I had forgotten all about the alchemist until you mentioned him and showed him on-screen. I was immediately triggered when reminded of it. So many curse words were spewed when escorting that little piece of--
Im only 16 but i used to play these games as a kid with my dad on the ps1 and i have already pre ordered the remaster
Nice video, enjoyable one and brings back some memories, thanks
it's like sunshine. Mario want's to go on a vacation, but has to defeat shadow mario instead. Spyro just wants to go on a vacation, but has to help the dudes
Great review! It's gonna be my Birthday soon, and you know I'm going for a Spyro cake.
