Amazon.co.uk Review
Charming, colourful and suitable for the entire family, UbiSoft's platform action game Rayman 2: The Great Escape should immediately remind players of classic console games such as Super Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot. Despite its cartoonish appearance, Rayman 2 isn't simply a child's game; its addictive, "just one more level" gameplay should please fans of all ages.

Players assume control of Rayman, a seemingly magical creature, complete with head, body, hands and feet but lacking all the connecting parts in between. Over the course of 40 levels, Rayman searches for four masks to help conquer the nefarious Admiral Razorbeard, who is currently in control of Rayman's peaceful world. One of Rayman 2's most endearing qualities is the number of unique (and extremely humorous) characters you meet during the adventure; Rayman 2 crafts an engaging story around its well designed game play and gorgeous 3-D graphics engine.

Game play consists of traversing dozens of diverse locations, including swamps, temples, pirate ships and grasslands. Along the way, Rayman collects brightly coloured "Lums" that can restore health, replenish air supply (when underwater), provide access to secret areas, and save the game position (like most console games, Rayman 2 only lets you save at certain points). The dynamic levels consist of standard running, jumping and climbing sections, but also include spectacularly animated action sequences such as water skiing, rafting, and flying. Rayman 2: The Great Escape is an enthralling adventure with surprises around each corner; it's certainly one of the best platform games for all ages in recent memory. --Doug Radcliffe

Customer Reviews

Totally awesome!-Rayman Rules!
This game was really, really good. The details and graphics and all the bright colours really did do much more to the game.Rayman's so cute! The levels were ace and it was difficul to control Rayman at first coz I was used to other game controls but once I got the hang of it it became my fave game! The puzzles and obsticals that the game had were great and I loved 'em!

Really exceptionally good game
Bought it for my kids, but ended up playing it myself(while they watched). Beautiful graphics, very varied gameplay, likeable characters. Amazing value for money.

THis game is so cool It's very hard but cool. With a number of hard levels including two bonus levels you try to save your friend globox from razorbeards power. By traveling through the levels you gain more power and experience from defeating pirates and meeting new friends. You must find four masks and then deafeat the one and only Razorbeard!
