Rayman 2
|
|
|
| Description:
Rayman 2 follows in the footsteps of Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie as another classic 3-D action game for the Nintendo 64. Rayman, who is strangely huge in France, is a strange yellow creature with hands and feet that are magically connected to his body by invisible appendages. This odd character can glide like a helicopter and throw his fists around as well as jump, climb, and swim. As in any decent action jumping game, Rayman meets up with many friends and enemies on his quest. Your mission is to rescue hostages held by the vile Robo-Pirates. The game has an odd cinematic feel to it--perhaps due to its widescreen presentation and cut scenes. A cute feature is the design of the characters, who speak in their own forms of cute gibberish. Graphically, this game is rich with deep dark colours spread out over 50 levels and 20 worlds. Hiding in these levels are coloured "lums" that can be used to open up new worlds or to restore Rayman's energy. These come in handy when you want to breathe underwater for long periods of time. Rayman must also collect magic masks and crystals, among other goodies. --Robb Guido, Amazon.com Pros: - Vivid 3-D graphics
- Huge number of levels
- Lots of gameplay variety
Cons: - The Dreamcast version looks even better

Almost as good as Mario 64!

This game really can't be praised enough, I don't even know where to start!
I'll start with the most obvious... The first thing that hits you when you load up this game are the amazing graphics and presentation. They really are stunning for the N64! And the graphics are of extra importance with this game because they add so much to the atmosphere, the whole style and "feel" of the game is very unique - anyone who played the old 2D Rayman on the Playstation / Saturn / Jaguar will be familiar with it's rather odd vibe. The excellent sound is also quite bizarre - of special note is the character speech - the designers of this game must have been on acid, seriously!
As for the gameplay, it's also very had to fault. The controls are tight and responsive, the camera is excellent (no getting stuck behind walls or being locked at odd angles) and it's simple enough for anyone to play! Although completing the whole game requires an unhealthily geekish amount of free time - this game is HUGE!!! And it has it's tricky moments too for the more hardcore gamer to get stuck into :-)
Class A retro fun! An essential purchase!!!! |

Rayman was a great game, i'd give it 3 stars, But Rayman 2 is explosive! With new charaters, New levels,And new graphics,It is certanly the game of the century. It is great for younger N64 players and just as good for the older! This is certanly the game to get if your looking for a platformer. |
