Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! is a video game for the PlayStation video game console. It was released in the United States under this title on November 2nd 1999, in Europe and Australia as Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer on November 5th 1999, and in Japan as Spyro x Sparx: Tondemo Tours on March 16th 2000. Ripto's Rage is the second game in the Spyro the Dragon series, which started with Spyro the Dragon in 1998. The protagonist of the series, Spyro, is placed in the land of Avalar, rather than the Dragon Worlds, where the previous installment was set. A dinosaur-riding sorcerer, known as Ripto, has invaded the world of Avalar, and is wreaking havoc on its citizens with his magic. Idols come to life and attack their creators, Eskimos are encased in ice cubes, and a civilization of seahorses has had its water confiscated. The player, as Spyro, must travel through the world of Avalar and undo the damage done by Ripto. The game became available for download on the PlayStation Network on July 26th 2007, before even its predecessor was released to the same market. Less than a week later, however, it was removed because Colossus and Idol Springs levels failed to load.
