Unlike its predecessor , it features 2D animations placed on 3D backgrounds.
There is a range of new moves including a double jump, backward somersault and dash, which allows him to perform longer jumps.
He also has the ability to boost his weapon, the Cypher sword, enabling it to release homing plasma waves.
There is also a Savage Slash attack, with random slashes.
There are numerous bonuses that can be collected in the levels.
These either boost Strider's vitality, increase the power of his sword or increase the player's game score.
Another addition to the game is a Boss Gauge which lets the player know how much energy the mid- or end of level boss has left before it dies.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Strider 2 for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Strider 2 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 2000.
