Since I have a new pc with gobs of capabilites, it did not occur to me to search around for system requirements for the Rayman 2 game. Pretty dissapointed to find out I would need another $100 investiment to play the game. It'll will be returned unopened.

Excellent

This is such a great game. The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. The sound is lovely. The puzzles are perfectly solvable, but challenging. There is some arcade, some adventure, some action. The levels are well designed. My only problem is that the controls are somewhat difficult. Still worthy of 5 stars, though.

Have a Blast Adventure!

Amazing! Super! Thrilling! Are the first 3 words that come to my mind in just a few seconds. I enjoyed the graphics and the pace of the game, its not slow and it is not too fast. And I like the fact that there is a combination of different adventures, challenges and themes. The different amazingly colorfull worlds are all unique and beautiful. You have got to try this game out, its worth it to the last penny. I am glad that some developers still create games such as Rayman 2, with no violence and rage, but colorful, nice, warm and adventurous fun where the whole family and their friends can enjoy.

Fun

If you like those 3D adventure type games like Mario on N64 then get this game. The 3D graphics are pretty decent. This game doesn't have any bloody gore or foul language so some people might say its a "kiddie's" game but it should appeal to gamers of all ages. As Rayman you explore the levels, picking up things, finding secrets, etc....I mean almost every game will look and play so much better if you had a TNT2 or the new GeForce 256 card. Also an 8 button gamepad is also kinda required, because you have to run and jump, etc. Overall, good game!

This game rocks!

I enjoyed Rayman when he was just a side-scroller, but WOW - what a difference in 3D! This is not just a game for kids (either that or I'm a lame adult) because its NOT easy! The game challenges you to find different paths, tools and tricks to get the cages and lums. I am not in love with all the camera angle work, but for a major jump to 3D, I'm very impressed! I'd recommend this game to any gamer that just wants to have fun - children and adults alike, it becomes very addicting!

nice gameplay

Rayman is so cool, but it is really challenging. It is definetly not a blood blasting gore fest like some dumb arcade games, but not little bunnie learns to read either. The only problem I find is it gliches up a lot. Also I hate the fact that you move Rayman with the camara so you can't get a side shot of Rayman running, but the camara controles pretty much make up for that. all in all Rayman is a great game.

Excellent Graphics, Good Story, Better than Mario 64

First, the graphics are the best I've seen. There is actual mist above the water in the marshes and waterfalls. The ponds ebb and flow, the clouds roll by with a distinct realism, and the streams flow realistically, as do the bubbles and splashes. Shadows are realistically placed. The con to this game, if any, is the sometimes uncooperative camera, and the predetermined save points. Although, playing the levels more than once is enjoyable. I have 128mb ram, a tnt2 video card, a 40x cd rom, and digital sound card, with pIII 500mhz processor. runs perfect, no glitches.

Great gameplay, but lousy structure

This is a great game on many levels - but has a terrible structure for all but the most hardcore of time-losing gamers. The big problem with this game is that you can only save at the end of levels - and some are massive. So your only options are to either play through the entire level (some take hours), or quit part of the way through and start over at a later date. If you don't have lots of time to dedicate to this game, then you should steer clear. The sanctuary of lava, for example, requires at least 2 hours to clear properly - and remember NO SAVING! It's too bad that such a wonderful game has such a fatal flaw.

This game rules!

Buy Rayman 2. It is the best PC platform game and is better than any N64 platformer. It is fun to play and its graphics are great.
