Spyro 2 music: Ripto's Arena (without the opera man) [Also available for download]

[joecolley92]

(Ripto): WHAT!!! YOU AGAIN!!!

[joecolley92]

I love this game the best out of them all. I did like the 1st & 3rd Spyro The Dragon videogames aswell but this 1 was the best I played on. The 4th Spyro game was ok but this 1 is better.

[JokerSyndrom]

In headphones,if you listen CLOSELY you can hear the opera is still there in teh background ^.^

[legojynks11]

the american canada version has opera

[sillykittycookie667]

XD Nasty opera man!

[Electronicboy96]

R.I.P.to

[SpyroGamers]

@Electronicboy96

X'D

[oldskoolg4m3r]

this is the english version of the music wich is in gateway to glimmer :)

[JohnGreasyGamer]

I love this without the fat Italian man with the spiky beard doing the opera! Thanks very much! ^_^

[TNFPP]

ah yes, the version i remember. without that opera singer the ntsc version had.

[Helix73]

Without the opera this sounds more like just a regular song, which is good and all but honestly a composer for game music needs to make something that fits the game's atmosphere and enhance the experience, not make something that you can listen to whenever. The opera singer really helped the battle along and added to the experience I think, but whatever, just my two cents.

[kylesalyer45]

YOU NOSTALGIA YOU LOSE.

[Accfpokemon]

i like it without the opera :\

[HyperGolem]

The drums quality is kinda bad?

[CrackSom3]

An opera man? Why the fuck would they add him for??? I thought it was a joke or sumfin. Why damage a good soundtrack for? Thumbs Up if you agree with this!

[SuperShadow64]

Within the context of the battle, the opera guy was epic. But when you're just listening to the song by itself, without being in the battle, it sounds kinda silly :/

[blaria95]

Very good :D I actually like this better without the Opera.  :D

[spyroandshadowrule]

it sounds nice without the guy

[EmperorXaozx]

Why did they split the opera and no-opera versions?Way better with opera,one of my favorite types of music

[Snakecharmer95]

i like it with the opera man =) it still sounds good

[Eurashal]

I wonder why PAL and NTSC got different versions?

[MandoKeybladeMaster]

@Eurashal Yeah, I was bummed too when I found that out

[darkreaper547]

its so wierd.....in my game i dont even hear the opraman...its just this.....=/...oh well! i hate opra! =D

[SonicTheBastard]

maybe thats cus you have gateway to glimer the euro version of spyro 2 without the opera?

[Sabertooth1000000000]

I used the think the opera guy was Ripto.

[cardenw]

@Sabertooth1000000000 lol :P i never had the opera version, im gona look for it ^_^

[sonicspeed95]

@Sabertooth1000000000 Same here :P

[Triviumpwns1]

@Sabertooth1000000000 X'D that would be frickin halarious if it really was ripto

[ChaosAint0]

@Triviumpwns1 Hahaha, I know right? Just ripto firing spells and singing, that'd be kinda awesome.

[Darkraiworld]

This level was hard...Until you get unlimited fireball powerup and whoop him! XD

[tgtothemax33]

I'm sure you all will dislike this.. but isn't the opera more epic.

[boemchak]

@tgtothemax33 It's epic. But also kind of disturbing after a while. And I'm used to the europe version anyways.

[thegalen2]

@tgtothemax33 yea the opera makes it epic

[CrackSom3]

@tgtothemax33 nope, sorry mate. it just gets annoying. thats why i prefer the 'gateway to glimmer' version.

[mhalo97]

i mean *opera*.. lol.. shit.. i said oprah

[Pcfan11]

You know what they say,

It wont end until the fat lady sings.

[mhalo97]

yup.. exactly. dammn straight. when the fat-greatful-bastard finally decides to go in and let him or herself go... that is when it all ends. finally, once and for all... and whatever it is.. it is. however well he or she sings, it stays. thats what we all get. whether it sounds epic or not, its ur own decision. nothing will end until the fat ass sings.

[Pcfan11]

And if you think hard enough while watching the opera version, youll realize that oprahs got mad skillz.

[mhalo97]

Hahaha... yeah... she got dr. phil made for defending her against some kind of lawsuit involving her talk against cheese burgers and the meat industry or something. the thing that the fat-grateful-bastards appreciate and sing for. you will find that the fat lady or the fat man will always say to u with great confidence, "burger-king is mad good for you." and if u don't believe him, he will just tell u that his next order on the menu will be for u to die.

[mhalo97]

and to have ur nuts baked by spyros flame breath.

[mhalo97]

you know.. the guy might be just singing in pain because spyro lit his nutz on fire.

as some gamer replied to me. and that may also very well be the case. however.. either way.. i do think u can realize that after thinking hard enough that oprah does have more skillz.

[Pcfan11]

She sure has skillz in the "low pitch" technique.

[mhalo97]

this is just the original without the dude singing, scrubing himself in the shower. the oprah version came about when they were recording and some fat man decided he would hit the shower, sing and let himself go.. and they ended up with the other version

[lightninstriker10]

good god, THIS GUY USED TO BE SO HARD! but that was when i was 8, hail spyro 2 and 3 for following through on their villans, not like Gnasty Gnorc who went out in two hits...

[ChromaticEagle]

why do you guys hate the opera version so much? imo this version feels a bit empty w/o it.

[JacquelineNatla]

Yeah, I agree with you. I always liked the opera. Sometimes I sing it just to be funny. XD

[Alewolf01]

I have the one with the opera I kinda like the opera in it XD

[AuronSuper95]

I have this music on my PS1 version. But it has the opera on my PSP version.

[Aramani9827]

bring it on SHORTY! XD!! epic indeed

[darkreaper547]

my game has no opera in it (thank god) lol

[RagingLunacy]

I have both, for the first stage I have full opera, at metal Gulp I have lesser opera, and while flying and battling Ripto on his bird all opera is gone O_o

[cosmic93]

but this is the thing, there is no opra in my version of the game!

and also, i have "gate way to glimmer" but all of my other friends got this game the same week and ended up getting "ripto's rage" why 2 different names for the same game?! lol still epic boss battle. this 1 of the few games i managed to FULLY complete 100%

[PokemonRox101]

"Gateway to Glimmer" is the PAL version, "Ripto's Rage" is the NSTC version. That's why. :]

[WaffleChoomperGop]

this song is epic.

:]

[UltimateGuy24]

Let's kick some shorty butt!!

[Juniorheavyman]

when i fight ripto, i cant hear the nasty idiot opera bullshit man

[xDinomanx]

I had the version WITHOUT the opera strangely enough. Still, it is unusual when it's in, but it does sound a lot better without it I reckon.

[elmo42507]

spyro looks so badass right here

[therealerf909]

In the original series, when does he not.

[Juniorheavyman]

Where i can download this

[yearofthe]

Look in the description. =P

[Snowking587]

Why does everyone not like the opera man? He made the battle with Ripto Epic!

[CommissarG]

Different versions did not have him in. Mine did not, and so I am when remembering Spyro more likely to like what I knew.

[xDinomanx]

I had the version of the music without the opera. Epic or not I don't like it too much.

[rpgfreak18]

I am gonna get the usa version to haha then i have both^^

[fafi900]

Cool no opera.

[ShadowdragonII]

at last. pal version. and this is not any boring without opera. this is just better.

[Z00MetalHead00Z]

agreed

[rpgfreak18]

ripto is cool but that's is my opinion^^

[xxshotgunmanxx]

Fuck you Ripto I had fun flaming your ass.

From Sonic to Ripto.

I hacked in this game BTW.

[Z00MetalHead00Z]

why the hell did copeland put opera in this song?

[coolcollio]

because he is a freak

[rpgfreak18]

my version of spyro 2 gateway to glimmer has this song in the game...but i want the opera man in it only the usa version that is called ripto,s rage has it i guess .....sigh..

[yourmomiskool69]

hey!, all you haters aren't wealthy like the opera guy, the opera man has talent and it's good, this version is boring

[Z00MetalHead00Z]

dork..

[crazyjosiah]

NEVER EVER let the opera man get a hold of this.

opera man is so retarded, he'll mistake this

for an accompaniment tape.

[lachysmum]

Agreed

[OttieSucks]

the opera ruins the other one because it messes up your thinking on how to beat ripto but all you have to do is get three orbs any color and the color you have gives you a power but good i dont have ripto singing opera

[Greenstonetiki]

It kind of makes the song more dramatic but this music vid is better.

[OttieSucks]

true it makes it more perfect but sometimes it gets annoying

[Greenstonetiki]

Yeah, that's true. But it's better without the opera.

[Greenstonetiki]

I couldn't agree more.

[musicman1066]

Is the music only different because there are 2 versions of the game? Is one american or something?

[HillDueceua]

the quality of this vid is a bit bad and I didn't mind the opera man too much. He was good in the game but I obviously couldn't listen to it casually. I could see why Stewart Copeland added the 'opera man' into the theme, because he composed a few operas himself (look up holy blood and crescent moon) and says he enjoys it.

[redpatamon]

Aggree

[Peanutslayer2]

gateway 2 glimmer is such a nicer name

[gaaradesert6]

.Whats the difference between Ripto's Rage and gateway to glimmer

[BlazerCatEye]

gateway to glimmer is without the opera man

[gaaradesert6]

oh.Ok

[DroxSorcerer]

Aw, the opera man made it more dramatic. D=

[Greenstonetiki]

He sucks balls.

[Skittlechill]

I think this is the Gateway To Glimmer one, I can't ask Cruisindahouse, his music on Spyro 2 jumps.

[lover044]

I just recently played Spyro 2 'Ripto's Rage' American Version with Opera. I think 'Gateway to glimmer doesn't have the opera'

[Zwergf]

you're right

[Greenstonetiki]

Yeah.

[lover044]

Ripto's Rage = American Version (NTSC) 60HZ

Gateway To Glimmer = Europe Version (PAL) 50HZ

[yearofthe]

whats HZ?

[lover044]

Hertz, Or also frequention

[spiritomb]

@yearofthe HZ = Heartz

[MastaGambit]

@yearofthe Hertz

[pigsareit]

@yearofthe

You've probably heard it's hertz by now, and maybe this too: Hertz is the screen refresh rate. Most tv shows run at around 24hz, but most tvs run at 60hz to make the video smoother. A couple tvs nowadays run up to 240hz to make it silky smooth. But it's all under your discretion of course.

[Yeebaagooon]

I get this on my Spyro 2 without the opera man. Mines called Gateway to Glimmer.

[4RangeMage]

Omg!, i realized!, listen to oprea, then listen to this!, hes sing in your freaking head ahhh!!!!

[MewMaker142]

I know. I hate you, Opera Man!!!

[Greenstonetiki]

Thank God I didn't get that verison!

[MewMaker142]

Ditto.

[Greenstonetiki]

Right. RIGHT!

[Greenstonetiki]

Opera man is going to hell!

[MewMaker142]

Too right! Boooooo!!!

[Greenstonetiki]

Boo the Opera Man! This version of the Song is better!

[virble]

No, I LIKE OPERA MA-

NEVERMIND.

[Greenstonetiki]

Naw. THe Opera man was disturbing.

[Z00MetalHead00Z]

hes a DORK!!!

[Greenstonetiki]

The opera man? Amen! I'd like to see a real opera guy running to Spyro asking to be Spyro's friend and then Spyro goes: SHUT UP! Flames him to ashes.

[stewartuscoplandus]

he was there singing it in my head anyway XP

[TwiTwiFutureCat]

The opera man is annoying but it makes me laugh XD because one time I was having a sleepover at Felina's house and we were being random and playing spyro and she's all fighting ripto and at the beginning the opera man's all "YOOALL!!!" XDD and she's starts saying all this "Figaro!" stuff and xDD ....but for some reason if I listen closly it sounds like I can still hear him...O.o

[9werewolf]

The opera man version sounds more dramatic, but this sounds more like Spyro, so I like BOTH versions, 5 stars btw. ;)

[Spyrorocks2]

This battle is the best battle in the spyro world! it is so fun...lmao lets torch riptos ass(ripto runs away like a sissy when i get 3 orbs) lmao!

[yogamoanyo]

WOW! FOR SOME REASON IT SOUNDS SO DIFFERENT WITHOUT OPERA MAN!!! Personally, i like the opera man in it =]

[CrashCrazE13]

MUCH BETTER WITHOUT THE OPERA MAN! The opera man made it seem so weird. I like it now.

[spyergirl4]

i liked the opera man

[Dereksbestfan]

I did not like the opera either.

[pcfan10]

This sound better suited to Ripto unlike that remix of gulp in spyro 4.

[CrashCrazE13]

that was a remix of gulp? I didn't notice that.

[pcfan10]

No i mean the tune in spyro 4.

[CrashCrazE13]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I never noticed that Ripto's boss music in Spyro 4 was the same as Gulp's boss music in Spyro 2.

[pcfan10]

Oh, my apologies.

[Spyster10000]

strange on the english verion dosent get the opra anyway.oh and I have heard the opra verion and it wasn't as good so 5 stars

[kingskarl231]

ah yes this is MUCH better without the opera dude!

[Zaubermausl]

Oh, Ripto's music! I love to fight him!! The battle is so much fun!!

[Garionepsilon]

Excellent, you got the good version! Thanks!

[AbraSpyro]

w00t no opera man YAY!

[gage1208]

Opera Man was removed to make it sound better.

[4RangeMage]

:'( wheres opera man?. XD

[susanspyro2]

YAY!!!! No voices.

[ThePlayStationNerd]

ah the ripto music, GOOD TIMES BABY!
