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.

Excellent adventure for everyone!!!

Hello Rayman!

Don't be fooled about the "for everyone" label on this game. This is not only a truly amazing work of art, graphically speaking, but also one of the best 3D arcade games out there on PC.

Character animations are done in superb quality, with a lot of details in conveying emotions with the animated bodies. The environments are also crafted well, with excellent architecture that never makes you feel that you are running through a maze.

Music is also a strong aspect of this game and is well delivered. And sound effect is used with great effect.

There are two points that must be noted. First, this game is very hard. I know a friend who downloaded a patch to make Rayman invincible... and he still couldn't finish it. Also, there is no in-game save-game feature. You can only save after a level. Although most levels are "bite size" so you don't lose much progress if you lose, there are numerous occasions that a particularly difficult scenario would require you to march through the same terrain again, and again, and again.

The PC version is different from others is that it features 5 languages, but no voice-overs. Voices are done in the same way as the people in "The Sims" or the adults in Charlie Brown shows.

It is an excellent game for kids who are looking for fun, and for young adults who want to switch from the usual First-Person shooter games.

Fabulous and engaging game - You don't want to stop!

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!

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!

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.

Best 3D Platformer on PC

If you're looking for a 3D PC Platformer then look no further. This is THE game you are looking for. Its better than Croc 2 and has much better camera positioning. It has a less kiddies feel to it than Croc 2 also.

The graphics are gorgeous and you get to do things like water ski. Still not as gooas Mario 64 but then this is PC after all and Platformers are no longer 10 a penny.

One tip thought for Voodoo3 users is that this game is FAST - TOO FAST! so go to the website and get the patch to slow it down a bit!!

Throughly enjoyable - I wish there were more games like this on the PC!! It gets 5 stars aa I cant think of a better game of its genre on this platform.

Just as good at the orignal........

This game is simply great. There is TONS of action, the graphics are great (from 1-5 it would be a 4), the missions are fun and challenging, and I just loved the characters and the story!
This is a really great game. If you have some spare money, then buy this game! (Well, it doesn't have to be spare money, it might just as well be saved money!)
