A good old basic!
So, what could I mean by that? I wonder... Rayman 2 is an old game. And it's cheaply priced. Which apparently means that the devs at Ubi Soft did the bare minimum for this re-release. (Assuming they did anything besides handing it to GOG.) This means: It runs. Usually. But that's it. No fancy enhancements, and a lot of things just don't snap anymore like they used to be - like controller support. Luckily, these things can be sorted out by a google search (or just looking into the forums here directly). It's not difficult in the slightest and bam - the game runs in wider resolutions and regognizes my controller. So that makes it better by a longshot and it can even adjusted further apparently. With that out of the way, what could I say about this game? It's the first one I bought here, a second time now. It's my childhood and in many ways a very unique platformer - albeit a bit short. It basically puts you in a level and throws one awesome idea after another at you until it's done. For multiple levels - until you see the credits. Finishing everything to completion usually takes less than 5 hours. But I like it, it fits a nice evening and has a high replay value because of it. (I actually wanted to boot it up right now before I remembered that I wanted to write some reviews). So all in all: Good artistic choices and well optimized (back in the day). But in classic Ubi manner, the game is more about working and less in polishing it through the end (litterally, the end). The final levels can get a bit disappointing, but only if you have too high standards and bitterness for the Rayman franchise. So, gladly 5 stars. Again, port could be better, but at least they're not charging much. I would say it's still the best official version out there except the dreamcast one.
