This game is great. It plays well, it looks good (besides compared to DK64, Banjo-Tooie), and it does not slow down at all. Now, this is a platform game and you do not just try to jump up to some wall that is too high. You will have to solve puzzles. So nobody should complain because good games will challenge you. I only complain when the games are too easy and does not require brains such as Super Man 64.

UbiSoft Should Have Gone to School. . .

Having switched to a Gamecube, I got spoiled on the level
of brilliant music & graphics coming from games like Tak
and the later Rayman games. But the Raymans were so
cool, I wanted to play the earlier one, which was only
available for the N-64. So, I researched on the Net, found
it and bought it.
While it takes awhile to get used to the lower quality graphics, the game is still enjoyable. The only problem is
that UbiSoft did not build a "Game Save" function into
Rayman 2, so unless you can find an obscure attachment
to your old N-64 system to save games, you are pretty much
screwed for saving your game play. Also. I tried the old
trick of just "Leaving The System On", but for some reason
the game would "Freeze Up" after several hours of non-play
and you have to re-start the system which, of course, kills
your game and you have to start over from the beginning.

After a few times of doing this, I just gave up. Banjo-Kazooie
is also an N-64 game, but its Game Save is built-in. UbiSoft
should have gone to school before putting out Rayman 2, so
players would not have to buy a memory attachment for
their system. As it is now, I do not know where to find one.

Also, the game language is in Japanese with English
sub-titles, unlike the later Gamecube games for Rayman.
It's a little annoying, but you kinda get used to it.

Overall, if you have the memory attachment for the N-64,
it is a fairly enjoyable precursor, but without it you will not
be able to play it unless you go from start to finish without
letting the system go idle.

Finally, ALL of the Raymans have the same quirk, but
Rayman 2 is the worst: The Camera Angle keeps shifting
unexpectedly and, even when you correct it in order to, say,
jump between two "safe spaces" with a dangerous area
inbetween, you jump and then the Camera Angle
suddenly changes, leaving you to frantically adjust your move " IN MID-MOVE", usually resulting in a fatal plummet.

Even with its several flaws, the series became progressively
more interesting. Looking forward to Rayman 4 this
coming September for the NEW Nintendo System.

sweet stuff

The game is spoiled by the difficulty of changing your view.

When it first came out i thought it looked cool so i got it.
i found it very fun in the first couple levels, but when i got to the point were i fought the monster guy, it got very hard.
since then i got to the second place were you fight for the second mask... ...I got to that level almost a year ago.
unless you want a hard game, DO NOT GET RAYMAN 2!
it's the worst game i ever saw.

Too short...

Just to let you know, This game is way too short to be a pretty good game. It took me only five hours to beat. If you want a very long game that is VERY hard to beat, then get Jet force Gemini. That game is so hard and long that I'm still trying to beat that game. or get the easier but not as easy as Rayman 2 older Id Software's first person shooters. DOOM for an example or Wolfenstien 3-D.

this is one of the best games I ever played

Although a lot of people liked this game I hated it. For one thing this game was WAAAAYYYYYY too easy (I beat this game in three days playing only 1 hour a day! The first game had me playing for mounths! )! You're supposed to find this fairy to give you all your powers back, and yet you start the game with all your powers! Plus I don't care how good the graphics are, Rayman does NOT look good in 3D and does not belong in 3D! So get the first game, I don't recomend this game to ANYONE! And you know what's worse? This Nintendo 64 vertion looks WORSE and plays WORSE than the Dreamcast vertion! Now that's sad (Even though I never liked N64).

Can't go anywhere

I bought N64 Rayman 2 the great escape for my 5-year old grandson. I have to play first before I can teach my grandson
how to play. I got problem at the very begining. After Rayman's
first action to crash a pirate cage and catch the first lum, he
fall into a river. I know where Rayman suppose to go. But the walls are too high. I spent three days try to jump up to that
plateform, but I could not do it. This game probably will not
play again.

Awesome game, but way too short

I think that the purpose of renting games is to see if they're good, if you like the plot, controls, graphics, etc. Just to get a feel for what the games about and if its worth buying, but not to beat it. I rented this game from blockbuster, and without paying much attention to it beat it in two days. It was so fun, but so pitifully easy. If the next three Rayman games that come out are as easy as this, I'll have devoted the same amount of time to beating four games ... to one regular game.... So nintendo makes an awesome game but breaks it up into four pitifully easy games and makes four times the money. If you have a hard time beating video games, this is a great one for you. If you have yet to find a decent challenge this is not it. It is a very good game with especially good characters and sound, but with a giant flaw.
