Rayman 2 Review

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.

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.

Cool game!
This is a very good game. Any action fan must have it.Pros: 1. Cool Graphics
2. Great voice-acting
3. Cool sounds
4. Great gameplay
5. Huge worlds
6. Nice moves
7. Cool story Cons: 1. Graphics could have been better
2. Cinema scenes are long and sometimes boring
3. No multiplayer value So this game has some cons. The graphics could have been better, but also the cinema scenes are like 10 minutes long. But the gameplay is cool, too, and it is still a must have.
