As a result, Sheila's stages play a lot like the classic arcade game Q*Bert, albeit with a stamina gauge and objects to smash. Her levels look similar to the rest of the game's levels, but they play much differently since movement is restricted to four basic diagonal directions.
Sheila is a kangaroo who can jump really high and is able to smash enemies by stomping on them. Every now and then you'll get to play as one of his friends. Furthermore, most stages also have some kind of minigame challenge to complete, such as playing hockey against a bully or chasing down a runaway thief.Īnother nice aspect of Spyro 2 is that not all of the game's 22 stages actually feature Spyro. Once in a while, Spyro even develops the ability to breathe lightning. Other missions require you to toss bombs into the water in order to deactivate them or jump across floating platforms to retrieve lost items. In some missions, you have to slay Rhynocs and activate a set number of decorations within each level. Fortunately, Spyro 2: Season of Flame can't be subjected to the same criticisms. The graphics changed from level to level, but you were still just systematically bashing or igniting every creature and decoration in sight. One of the biggest problems with last year's game was that each stage pretty much had the same goals and pacing as all the rest. Likewise, although Spyro's flame breath is still useful for removing bramble bushes, his ice breath now allows you to reach other normally inaccessible areas by freezing shallow water. You can bash into most Rhynocs, but there are some that you should freeze first and others that you should just downright torch. Achieving these goals, however, now depends on your ability to select the most appropriate skill for the corresponding task. The goals in each stage remain the same: Gather treasures, slay Rhynocs, and perform good deeds to reclaim the missing fireflies. This change is incorporated heavily into the game thanks to the addition of a multitude of monsters that vulnerable to one or the other, as well as various elemental puzzles.īy and large, the addition of ice breath to Spyro's repertoire greatly diversifies what would otherwise be a carbon copy of last year's game. One positive by-product of this predicament is that Spyro now has the ability to breathe ice in addition to fire. Now, Spyro and his dragonfly pal, Sparx, have to rescue all 100 of the missing fireflies before the dragon realm turns to ice. Season of Flame picks up where Season of Ice left off, with Spyro returning home, only to find that the Rhynocs have stolen all the fireflies in his absence. You can freeze enemies and take care of them later. Despite these similarities, the sequel improves upon its predecessor literally in every aspect. It uses the same isometric viewpoint and has the same basic collecting goals, and the story once again sees Spyro battling it out against Ripto and the Rhynocs. Check out some photos after the jump.At first glance, Spyro 2: Season of Flame seems identical to Spyro: Season of Ice, the first Game Boy Advance game starring the popular purple dragon.
