    I never really liked Rayman, those Rabbid things look cute though. On that note, I have no idea who Dane Cook is.

    Oh, hey there, dude. It's totally 1999. Platformers are in! I can't wait to have my buddy Dane Cook come over so we can play this together. Rayman rules! Me and him are total hardcore life gamers. Shit just got real. Actually, that reference is 4 years too early. My bad.

    All future Giant Bomb reviews should be like this! Straight and to the point, no messing. Maximum of 140 characters in any review. It would give you more time to play the game if you haven't got to write a load of copy, therefore making the reviewers opinion more relevant. It would save us the time of reading loads of text while still giving us everything we need to know. It's a win win situation for all!

    The n64 version was horrible like most things on the n64 but not as bad as the ps1.

    If you are going to play this game do it ON PC or dreamcast so it dont look and sound like total crap.

    even the ps2 was worse than the dreamcast and PC though.

      Rayman 2: The Great Escape(Nintendo 64) by retrogimp on May 03, 2021

      Rayman 2: The Great Escape shares many qualities of its two-dimensional predecessor, especially in presentation but some frustrating sections hold it back from being a true classic of the system.Unless you were Nintendo, most franchises making the switch from 2D platformers to 3D around the Nintendo 64 era were usually misses more than hits. It was a transformative time; an entire new dimension for developers to play with which presented many more challenges. The games that made it work are stil...

      Rayman 2: The Great Escape(Nintendo 64) by tissueshoe on June 23, 2009

      Rayman 2: The Great Escape is considered by so many people to be one of the big parts of the platforming revolution back in the N64/PS days. Personally, I don't know what people see in it. Sure it's a decent game, but nowhere near as good as people claim, in my opinion.The story in Great Escape is simple: Admiral Razorbeard is ruining the land and capturing its inhabitants, and of course Rayman… is captured? Well, only temporarily, of course, as he escapes right at the beginning. Then he sets ou...
