This game was one of my favourites when i was a child. GOG thank you for bringing it back to me on modern computers :) The best part is that this game didn't aged at all. Graphics are just naive-sweet as they were almost 20 years ago, game has interesting, varied platform gameplay on certain levels. From typical platrform action gameplay, to usage of insane vehicles (horse rocket FTW), simple logic puzzles. The only con is length. Game can be finished within 7 hours, replaying it for Lums - might take max up to 8-9 hours. Rayman 2 is best out of its series. Looking back I actually laughed so hard, at cave of bad dreams, witch used to scare me a lot when i was a child :) Still i had loads of laught and fun chasing again robot-pirates and their evil captain Razorblade. That why i strongly recomend to try it - even if you are unfamiliar with Rayman character or games series. Personally I consider this game as a Milestone for PC 3D platformers.
One of the most plesant suprises i have encontered. Game is simply speaking beautiful, hack and slash (but fighting system might be a little bit challenging) and focuses strongly on exploration and story telling. Narrative voice, as well as idea of "uncovering" winning path ist the strogest prons to this game. I laughed about jokes mocking other series, or typical hack&slash player behaviour. First pass allows you to complete the game in about an hour, but... and this idea is simply briliant, its not end of a game. You need to uncover oder possibilities, stories, learn from your failtures, to finally win, this one decisive hero path with happy ending. I really enjoyed it, but also regret, it was not taken even further. Plus once all truth is uncovered, game literraly "advices" best option, with is wrong, when it comes to concept. I really think This game might benefit more if it would focus on more "truths", noting down the most significant relations between events like what happends to the stone if XYZ with turned up to be common motive for couple of stories. Nevertheless this game is totaly worth its price. I enjoyed it a lot, smiled even more, and tommorow, well im curious how other outcomes look like :) Its really attaching player to characters in plot, as well as with beatiful level design and music. I recomend it strongly.
