And get this: The control and camera don't get all that touchy like most 3D games. It's obvious a lot of work has gone into this title, and it really shows when playing. A true sequel to the original Jaguar, PlayStation and Saturn game, Rayman 2 takes Ubi's mascot to the third dimension. This time around, Rayman must fight for freedom against a horde of evil space pirates who have enslaved his friends and are out to destroy him. There are a total of 30 levels in Rayman 2, which range from exploration to fast-paced action.
Ubi told us that they have tried to make most of the game fast-paced, much like Indiana Jones. The result is a mix of having to run-jump-swim-dodge, etc. Vour objectives change as you go through the game as well. In one level, for instance, you have to waterski behind a snake, making sure to take the right turns and hit jumps without breaking your line.
In another, you swim after a whale, collecting air bubbles it gives off until you've gotten to an underwater entrance to a pirate ship. Another has you riding a walking missile, being careful not to crash into anything. The graphics are nice, but still seem to have that N64 blurriness to them in some areas.
This time, Rayman's joined by a supporting cast of characters which includes the pirates, their secret weapons and bosses and Rayman's new friend, Globox--there are some cameos here as well from another Ubi Soft game.
Cinemas in the game will run in real time, and the game's designers have really made Rayman 2 look like an interactive cartoon and Ubi Soft is actually doing a Rayman CG-animated TV series in France that may eventually make its way stateside , just like the first game, Rayman has a variety of moves to aid him in his quest, including his patented helicopter technique, which on a few levels can be used continuously.
He also now shoots a ball of light which destroys his enemies. Rayman 2 uses a new version of the Tonic Trouble engine, and looks promising even at this early stage. Lacking music or sound effects, the game played just as you would expect a 3D version of Rayman to play.
It's still early and there's tweaking and polishing to be done, but you can expect to see Rayman 2 on shelves next spring. I really wanted to grow past playing platform games.
I really did! Rayman 2: The Great Escape made me love platform games all over again, while making me feel privileged in the fact that I could play it at such amazing quality, on my relatively low-end computer. Rayman 2 continues the adventures of our favorite disjointed and I do mean "without-joints" character. Along the way he needs to rescue his friends to help him with some impassable obstacles, grab as many lums little high-powered, grinning, fairies as he can, and beat the main robo-baddie.
With so many different ways to control the main character riding a flaming barrel of gunpowder, water-skiing from the back of a snake, and controlling a floating pirate ship , no level ever gets stale.
You can also return to the levels to try collecting all the yellow lums for a blister-inducing bonus round. This will not only give you an excuse to try those contraptions again, but also adds to the replayability of a relatively short game.
The controls are easy to figure out; however, you may still want to invest in a programmable gamepad there is no in-game way to map the keys! Rayman 2 also ran more than adequately on my system, which came as a great relief after some recent stutter-fests.
The best part of the original Rayman to me was the lush cartoony graphics. It really made it stand out when the world was full of side scrolling platform games. How in the world could they imitate that in 3D? Yes, Rayman 2 plays like a fully interactive cartoon. Actually it has animation that is much better than what you would expect from typical Saturday fair.
The audio, although nothing spectacular, does its job by keeping things hopping. Rayman 2 is a great game. Not just a great platform game, but a well-made, fun to play romp through an intriguing world.
The graphics are beautifully artistic and the sound is groovy, but most importantly the gameplay feels fresh and engaging. Congratulations Ubi Soft, you deserve a One of the best old-school platform games out there has to be the original Rayman for PlayStation. To give you an idea of how old the game is, it came out before GameFabrique was in existence.
There are not too many PSX games that you can say that about. Anyway, Rayman had a great hero, storyline, graphics and gameplay and since the day that I finished it, I was hungry for more. Nearly four years later, my hunger has been satisfied.
The original was a good old fashion 2D side-scrolling platform game. Rayman 2 takes our hero into the vast and beautiful world of 3D.
There are 45 new areas that you will try to conquer all the while learning new skills. You will run, jump, ski, swim, climb, slide, swing and fly trying to collect Lums and break open caged friends, setting them free.
There are plenty of characters that you will meet along the way making this adventure worthy of the Rayman name. Rayman makes the jump from 2D to 3D with pretty successful results. There are hours and hours of gameplay to be had in this adventure.
Be prepared to battle enemies albeit fairly easy enemies , solve puzzles, and try to gather 1, Lums. While this may not be the biggest game ever, it is large and if you want to complete it percent, be prepared to invest some serious gaming hours.
The best part is that all of the hours are well worth it because this game is just fun to play. Let's talk about the puzzles for a second. The thing that I really liked about them was that they were challenging yet not overly difficult. If anything, most bordered on not quite challenging enough but I think they really fit the game well. The main objective is exploring, gathering Lums and freeing your friends.
The visuals are cool, the music is great, and the platforming is as good as it gets. Rayman 2 also boasts of a hoard of robot pirates to fight, which isn't something that you can say about many games.
Raymans world has taken over by razorbeard and the robo pirates and they have broken the heart of the world into lums and rayman must gather the lums and defeat razorbeard and bring peace back to the world again. Rayman 2 is a great platforming game with some of the best graphics the PS1 has to offer.
Once again after Rayman defeated the evil mr. And Globox gets thrown into the same place Rayman is held captive Globox gives Rayman a silver lums which allows him to shoot with his fist You can also shoot with your fist on Rayman Rush and Rayman M and Rayman Arena Rayman breaks free and now it's up to Rayman and of course you to save Rayman's world from the Robots by Walking jumping riding running shells and skiing and much much more. And even with a annoying camera Not all the time even you can beat admeral Razardbeard.
Support Emuparadise:. Sponsor Message:. And, yes, this thing looks unbelievable, the closest any game has ever been to resembling a real-time cartoon. While the N64 version looked pretty in its own right, the DC game packs new effects like falling leaves and extra background characters, and the whole thing runs at a smooth 60 FPS.
Better still: The gameplay's as solid as the visuals Rayman 2 melds myriad play styles. With his power restored, the pair escape the flying prison ship and embark on another adventure to save the entire world! Download Game. Unlike the previous game, Rayman 2 is entirely in free-roaming 3D environments, similar to Super Mario Rayman has many unique abilities that can help him get around the world.
In addition to being able to shoot his fists, he can use his hair to hover like a helicopter, and even glide on air currents in certain places. He can climb certain walls and ceilings and can even use his fists to swing from special purple Lums which are shaped like rings. Rayman also has many unique items at his disposal, such as powder kegs which can be carried or fly like jets, strange warheads with legs that he can ride and steer like bucking mules, and gigantic plums that can be thrown into the water to create new paths.
These masks are scattered far and wide, and are well hidden and guarded, so it is not an easy task. By gathering the yellow Lums, Rayman will gain access to new worlds, which will take him to the locations of new masks. Collecting yellow Lums also rewards him with new powers and life meter extensions.
