RAYMAN 2 REVOLUTION SERIES
RAYMAN 2 REVOLUTION PS2

Rayman starts the game with minimal abilities, and he can gain more abilities as the game progresses. Part of the lums are hidden in small cages, in which other freedom fighters or Teensies are imprisoned, and can be obtained by breaking the cages. Collecting enough lums gains the player access to new parts of the world. Along the way players will fight Robo-Pirates, solve puzzles and collect lums. Some back story is also obtained through (optional) instructions from Murfy, a 'flying encyclopaedia' who provides explanations on all kinds of gameplay elements.

At several points in the game, the player loses control during cut scenes, which typically show dialogue between characters.īy collecting lums (small bodies, or shards of magical energy), the player can unlock more information about the game world and its back story, which can be read by standing still and pressing a specific button for some time or can be allowed to purchase extra upgrades. Like the original, Rayman 2 is a 3D Platformer which is played from a third-person perspective and the player has control over the camera, though in some situations this control is limited to only certain angles. Rayman Arena: Ultimate Multiplayer was released in 2023 as a stand-alone expansion of Rayman 2.

It is released worldwide on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows (on Retail and Steam forms) and Nintendo Switch in November 18th, 2022. It is a expanded, high-definition remake of the same-named game, which was originally developed by Ubisoft themselves and released in 1999, including everything from it's every previous port, especially the Dreamcast version (which Michel Ancel himself considered as it's definitive version) and Rayman Revolution.

I'm also not entirely behind the new character designs and certain elements of the game have been adjusted quite drastically.īut as I say I'm a huge fan of the vanilla version so maybe it would be better for those more accustomed with the PS2 version to open my mind a little more? I've thought about revisiting this particular version but I know every time I do I find myself giving up.Rayman 2: The Greater Escape (or Rayman 2: The Great Escape HD) is a 3D action-adventure platformer video game published by Ubisoft and developed by their Milan studio, which originally worked on the Game Boy Color port of Rayman and Rayman 2 Forever. I never played through the original game feeling it needed a hub world due to its moment to moment linear 3D levels yet here it is in Revolution. Perhaps I'm biased with how familiar I am with the original version but I feel like all new additions to Revolution are just unnecessary padding. Revolution basically adds a hub world to Rayman 2 which contains new things to do inbetween levels. I've given it a go multiple times but I can never get into the swing of its new content. To date I find the Dreamcast version to be the most consistent and feature complete but there's one iteration of Rayman 2 that I just can't understand, the PS2's 'Rayman Revolution'. Rayman 2: The Great Escape is one of my favourite games of all time and I've somehow played through it on N64, PSX, Dreamcast, PC, PS2, DS and 3DS.
