Great game!

My boy disapeared into Rayman's world and I thought he would never come back. Endless imaginative levels, brilliant soundtrack, variety of puzzles, kept him very happy. |

He's a gaming star! So what if he's got limb issues...

Rayman, one of the French's poudest acheivements. No limbs. Big nose. Abilities ridiculously out of proportion to his size. Of late our virtual friend has been seen as another terrible franchise in the public's view. He was dwarfed the likes of Mario and Sonic, unable to catch the sort of interest mascots apsire for. That changed here.
"Rayman 2: The great escape" is a phenomenon. After a short training mission, you're thrown straight into the deep end with a stage that will take up a couple of hours just to get to the end of level boss. After progressing steadily through the levels, you'll eventually find yourself atop a huge slope of ice, readying youself to take on an enormous sanctuary gaurdian all for the prize on a single mask.
The soundtrack is incredible, the best I have witnessed in a game. The graphics were way ahead of their time when this game made its debut, for it was one of the first 3D games ever. The final trial at the pinnacle of the game with Rayman up against Grolgoth the arch-destroyer is nothing short of inspiring. The game guarantees at minimum 40 hours of gaming, and delivers. It may be slightly graphically flawed, it may not have the best loading times ever, but this is the Rayman game that arguably sold the series. |

Rayman: Less than expected
(November 17, 2003) |

The original Rayman was full of platform joy and although it's retro graphics were being surpassed even back then it was still a joy to play. Unfortunately I can't say the same for Rayman 2 (the great escape). For me it took everything which was good about the first Rayman and tried to update to suit the needs of the general gamer. It failed. Rayman 2 is a shambles compared to the enjoyable romp that Rayman was. |
