Ranking Every Level In Spyro 2 "Ripto's Rage"

Come with me and reminisce about our most nostalgic video game, Spyro 2. WOW! This is the most ambitious video I've every put together! I had so much fun creating this! I can't wait to do more, even better videos in the future. I should mention that the script and recording of said script are over a year old at this point, so some of my opinions have changed. Thank you so much for watching! Leave a like, comment, and subscribe!

After watching this whole thing for the first time since I posted it, and as a musician, I didn't spend nearly enough time on the music considering how much I love this games ost. Oh well. My SA2 music ranking video is gonna be hype

[@mikehawk8984]

For sure, those purple dudes and the siren sound during the Lightning Stone orb definitely gave me nightmares as a kid 😅😂

[@el_baz00ka10]

There actually is a System involved with the 3rd idol springs riddle. you have to look at the symbols and the corresponding shape of the buttons

[@StarBlue42]

I didn't realize this for a long time either lol

[@EnragedErin]

Zephyr, Metropolis and Fracture Hills were my favorite for a mix of theme, aesthetic, and it just felt nice to me.

[@starstrudel8417]

To this day I haven't heard a game OST quite like Spyro's. It's so distinct. Anyway Hurricos is #1 for me. So evocative and unique. The NPC's, the gray clouds with sunshine, rainbow, the great music.

[@a.e.7081]

Okay, but Glimmer's music gives me so much nostalgia that I can't even describe it! I remember playing the original games with my aunt and every time I hear this sound track, I'm reminded those days :D

[@maggierommel8955]

The only thing I’m upset about in fracture hills is the valley girl accent was changed

[@Ericsebastianharper]

Yeah she used to be kind of a bitch which was funnier lol

[@RavennaRose928]

I hated that level. The stuck up preppy girl voice, the annoying ass bagpipes, and the horrific mini games. I will despise that level until the end of my existence.

[@katelynnhamilton7515]

I’m pretty sure the “owh noh” in the Magma Cone soundtrack is a reference to Tiny from Crash Bandicoot (specifically Crash Team Racing). When Tiny gets hurt in CTR, he says OWH NOH… idk what do u guys think?

[@clintontheross]

Holy crap you’re right. I couldn’t place where I heard it before, but it’s 100% Tiny getting hit in CTR! Good catch!

[@ContentCreature]

Spyro 2 was in fact the best of the trilogy. Great ranking and great vid!

[@andrew201112able]

Somehow stumbled across you lol but good vid man keep it up would like to see a Spyro 1 ranking next

[@asterixclay]

watching all of this gameplay was so weird to me. spyro 2 riptos rage was my favorite game as a child, but I cant get myself to play reignited because of the lack of a fixed camera. I've never seen so much reignited gameplay and the characters are so different

[@raymonrackley1128]

W meshuggah reference

[@Ericsebastianharper]

Metal is life

[@BlueTarouX]

This was a really cool and intense video =) Spyro 2 Riptos Rage (or in my case gateway to glimmer) is my favorite game of the spyro series and to be honest one of my two favorite games of all the time, so its always nice to see good content and effort for this game =D And yeah its propably the most easy one out of all the three games to get complete I guess :) it was nice to hear and see all your thoughts about the levels - I can't deny I was surprised for some spots..but it the end it is a subjective decision =) thanks for your effort and for sharing this video with us!

[@Ericsebastianharper]

You're welcome and thank you for watching!

[@VillasByrne]

Such a nice energy, and you are hallarious! Really enjoyed it! I would love to see one from 1 and 3 as well! This would by mine 1 Mystic Marsh 2 Zephyr 3 Breeze Harbor 4 Metropolis 5 Skellos Badlands 6 Hurricos 7 Aquaria Towers 8 Cloud Temples 9 Colossus 10 Scorch 11 Crystal Glaicher 12 Idol Spring 13 Robottica Farm 14 Glimmer 15 Sunny Beach 16 Shady Oasis 17 Magna Cone 18 Fracture Hills

[@Ericsebastianharper]

Thanks so much❤

[@JAYDOG1337A]

The only thing I didn't like about the Reignited Trilogy, and this is honestly a minor nit-pick, the swimming just feels a bit off, a bit too... floaty, for lack of a better word. Other than that it's absolutely the best way to play these games. I actually still have the Key Chain that came with the game on my key-ring.

[@luiscabrerarodriguez8391]

Nice video, nostalgia makes a big influence, is my case I have no nostalgia foe any of the last levels like Metropolis, Robotica farms or Mystic Marsh. My personal top 3 I think would be: 1. Breeze Harbor 2. Hurricos 3. Zephyr In Year of the Dragon there are many cool levels I would say

[@JaKeYbOyS95]

Great video my dude! The original Spyro 2 is one of my favorite video games of all time and was also my first ever video game experience as a child, so I for sure appreciated this video! Any chance of covering the original Spyro or Spyro 3 by chance?

[@Ericsebastianharper]

At some point! There's a few games I want to cover first

[@JaKeYbOyS95]

Oh by all means dude, take your time! I'm sure there's plenty that you want to cover before you get back around to those. I'll look forward to seeing them at some point! I've always wanted to do a similar video but wouldn't even know where to start, so it's sick that you've gone ahead with it!@@Ericsebastianharper

[@VinMetal666]

Damn I remember playing the Colossus level and crushing in the hockey game while playing Meshuggah for the same reason

[@DF.A.B.L.E.]

As a speedrunner of the entire srt zephyr is cancer to run

[@thomassifuentesmusic]

Magma Cone and Metropolis were and still are my favorite levels. I wish they could’ve figured out that weird monster talking part in the OG Magma Cone music for Reignited cause the new one just doesn’t hit or sound right. Great video!

[@Ericsebastianharper]

Thank you! I just opt for the og soundtrack

Hey loved the vid and seeing your opinions. It seems like you were surprised at how simple many of the levels are. I felt that way when I went back too. I'd argue for more respect for Sunny Beach!! It was in the demo so is memorable for a lot of people! And the swimming mechanic was one of the most exciting new things in the game!! :) and everyone loves turtles come on!!

[@Ericsebastianharper]

Honestly, I recorded the script over a year ago but didn't have a good enough computer to make the vid at the time lol. A bunch of my opinions have changed a bit

[@Ericsebastianharper]

For example scorch wouldn't be last anymore, and sunny beach soundtrack bops

[@r.garrettm6516]

Damn dawg, you really make me wish I was a PS1 kid. NES , Genesis, and N64 had their bangers tho :)

[@Ericsebastianharper]

I still have never played Mario 64 so I feel your pain lol

[@floatinghamstick]

4:45 its not random at all, you need to match the buttons ensuring that the next button you step on either has the same color, outside shape or inside shape as the previous one.

[@Ericsebastianharper]

@@floatinghamstick oh I'm stupid 😀

Love this

Generally not a fan of collectem ups even though I grew up playing Spyro. But the video is well written, fantastically delivered and I’m here for whatever else is coming down the road.

i have the game but ive never played it. (Its my gfs) Maybe someday. Next up is Jak and Daxter

"It even might be the definitive way to experience these games" Dude, the ps1 versions lag much less and even look better in some cases.

[@Sum41rthe1]

Woah, it is absolutely not the way to experience these games.

[@JumugiDesunra]

I'd probably have Hurricos in my top 3.( if not number 1 ) Everything was just so perfect about that level. The dark cloudy skies, with the rain, the sun & the subtle rainbow in the distance. Not to mention the incredibly soothing soundtrack to go with it.

[@henryhardfoot]

Easy top 5 for sure - very underrated

[@starstrudel8417]

Hurricos is my favorite, too!
