Rayman 2: The Great Escape

I was a kid playing Rayman 2 for the first time and I remember it so much more vividly, with HD details and smooth character models. Turns out the imagination of kids fill in those details, we are cocreating the game together with our mind. What I lost for imagination I make up for intelligence now since the game is extremely easy while playing it as a kid I recall it being brutally hard. Not sure if I ever finished the game as a kid, but this is a redemption arc for, time to close the loop on this game once and for all. Honestly I am having a blast playing it.

Never got to play it back in the day, but dame what a great game this is!

Reminds me of my childhood spending hours playing this game on the N64

Like the title states, Rayman 2 is one of the greatest games ever made. The joy and creativity found within this game is unsurpassed by almost no one else. Rayman is one of the most enjoyable and joyous characters to exist in gaming. His Yippee and yahoo he sometimes exclaims as I make a jump or rebound off an object just puts a smile on my face every time. Rayman is one of the best characters ever made for any game series. If only he were more popular. Rayman should stand next to Sonic and Mario being one of the most loved and recognized characters in gaming. He's not quite there yet, but thankfully every Rayman game ever made (1-3, Origins, Jungle Run) has been spectacular. Rayman 2 is gaming perfection. It is a must buy. It's very difficult sometimes but there's also joy to be had when you finally pass a difficult section. Rayman 2 stands as one of the greatest games ever created. While it's been ported to almost every system that could handle it over the past 10 years, there's never a time when I see the game on a new system that I don't want to revisit this world.

This is the game that I genuinely enjoy more than Mario 64. I don't know what else to say, really. If you're into 3D platformers, and the old graphics (and the requirement to mod this version a bit to work better) don't scare you off, I would definitely recommend for you to try it out. I mean, it's 6 bucks and frequently goes on sale for like, 1 dollar.
