Johnny vs. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (AD FREE)
🕑 Added 2025-11-14 08:58:41 +0000 UTCLet's return to the Spyro series, I've blueballed Spyro fans long enough. I'm heading into unfamiliar territory now since I've never played any game past the first one. So what's the verdict...uh...26 years later?
I've retired the previous thumbnail art after about 2 and a half years I wanna say. Firiun once again delivered on the goods, all the love to him. This time, I wanted to present a chipper, more confident avatar, rather than someone who looked absolutely done with this shit. It's time to look up again.

Oh no he got my name wrong at the end. Unless there is thatonegamingguy88, in which case was up😄

Probably looking forward to John's video on Spyro Year of the Dragon

Nice new thumbnail! And yeah, to me the whole trilogy felt pretty much on the same level without one standing out. I love moneybags though, just an unconditional prick.

The Thumbnail Johnny looks clean per usual. Confident, and looking forward to what's up next - fitting for the intention. Gonna be giving this one a watch, and I'm thankful for it dropping when it did. Going through what feels like the mother of all rough patches in my life right now, but your videos are always a small comfort in the storm. Thanks for giving me something to chill with, Johnny.

The save system in the game is a fairy giving you a lightning, bolt in the ass idk if that’s better or worse than a fireball but good to know Spyro is either immune to electricity or has a electric kink you be the judge of that.

I personally think this is an improvement with the first game like Crash 2 was for this franchise. I enjoy more the world you visit and the people you meet and help or fight. I prefer a little bit of 3 but that's nostalgia taking over cause I played Spyro 3 on the PSX the most but I find it the most fun. BTW pro tip in Spyro 2 and 3 when you're in a spot where you're searching for those few gems in the level Sparx can help you if you press the R3 and L3 at the same time. He'll point you in the nearest gem you haven't collect it. I don't think the game itself tells you that which is dumb. But the third game do tell you because it's an upgrade you can get for Sparx if you do his levels. Which is weird cause he already can do it in the second game anyway.

Spyro never really did catch me back in the day. Glad you're having a good time, even if it isn't clicking, and that Spongebob joke had me rolling

The SpongeBob turns 30 in 4 years bit had me giggling lmao! Overall good review man 👍

And just like when Caddy went through the series, I'm now very cheekily excited to know that I get to hear my name (Hunter) said even outside Patreon shoutouts. 🤭

Thank you, time is a blur these days.

I love Spyro 2. Probably my favorite video game OST of all time

Spyro 2 is the one that captivated me as a kid so it'll always have a place in my heart, but I'd absolutely recommend 3 over it these days. It doesn't do anything new but the levels and minigames are just plain more fun.

I prefer Spyro 1 over Spyro 2, with the caveat that I’ve only ever played Reignited. I like that Spyro 1 is all platforming and no minigames. 3 is still very good though because they use other playable characters in place of some of the minigames. There still are minigames, but there’s less of them.

I ship Spyro and Elora. Reignited.

Never played much of this game…’s remake in Spyro Reignited. 100% the og game, but I don’t think I made it past the first world and I’m not sure why as I did enjoy myself, probably got distracted by other stuff or that I was playing the okay enough Switch version with what looked like a poor resolution. Great video though, laughed a few times especially with that Hunter villain bit.
Son Gohan
Great video as always.

Oh boy 3 AM Johnny!

Ngl kinda feeling vindicated never clicking with Spyro lol. Even when I was a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s I just shrugged whenever I tried them at my cousin's place lol. Fun review and great new thumbnail art but also screw you for reminding me that SpongeBob is almost 30 years old ugggggghhhhhh

My favorite part in spyro 2 is when your fighting Ripto in the last bit and you get the 3 orbs he immiditly starts freaking out and running from you that made me laugh so much as a kid lol

How do you get to Johnny's discord Server?

Just checked and it's just under two years. Last art change was the Sonic Superstars video

Great job on the review Johnny. Spyro 2 is actually my favorite game in the series.
