            Since I have a new pc with gobs of capabilites, it did not occur to me to search around for system requirements for the Rayman 2 game. Pretty dissapointed to find out I would need another $100 investiment to play the  game. It'll will be  returned unopened.

            This is such a great game. The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. The sound is lovely. The puzzles are perfectly solvable, but challenging. There is some arcade, some adventure, some action. The levels are well  designed. My only problem is that the controls are somewhat difficult.  Still worthy of 5 stars, though.

            Amazing! Super! Thrilling! Are the first 3 words that come to my mind in just a few seconds. I enjoyed the graphics and the pace of the game, its not slow and it is not too fast. And I like the fact that there is a  combination of different adventures, challenges and themes. The different  amazingly colorfull worlds are all unique and beautiful. You have got to  try this game out, its worth it to the last penny. I am glad that some  developers still create games such as Rayman 2, with no violence and rage,  but colorful, nice, warm and adventurous fun where the whole family and  their friends can enjoy.

            If you like those 3D adventure type games like Mario on N64 then get this game. The 3D graphics are pretty decent. This game doesn't have any bloody gore or foul language so some people might say its a "kiddie's" game but it should appeal to gamers of all ages. As Rayman you explore the  levels, picking up things, finding secrets, etc....I mean almost  every game will look and play so much better if you had a TNT2 or the new  GeForce 256 card. Also an 8 button gamepad is also kinda required, because  you have to run and jump, etc. Overall, good game!

            I enjoyed Rayman when he was just a side-scroller, but WOW - what a difference in 3D!  This is not just a game for kids (either that or I'm a lame adult) because its NOT easy!  The game challenges you to find  different paths, tools and tricks to get the cages and lums.  I am not in  love with all the camera angle work, but for a major jump to 3D, I'm very  impressed!  I'd recommend this game to any gamer that just wants to have  fun - children and adults alike, it becomes very addicting!

            Rayman is so cool, but it is really challenging.  It is definetly not a blood blasting gore fest like some dumb arcade games,  but not little bunnie learns to read either.  The only problem I find is it gliches up a  lot.  Also I hate the fact that you move Rayman with the camara so you  can't get a side shot of Rayman running, but the camara controles pretty  much make up for that.  all in all Rayman is a great game.

Excellent Graphics, Good Story, Better than Mario 64

            First, the graphics are the best I've seen. There is actual mist above the water in the marshes and waterfalls. The ponds ebb and flow, the clouds roll by with a distinct realism, and the streams flow realistically, as do  the bubbles and splashes. Shadows are realistically placed. The con to this  game, if any, is the sometimes uncooperative camera, and the predetermined  save points. Although, playing the levels more than once is enjoyable. I  have 128mb ram, a tnt2 video card, a  40x cd rom, and digital sound card,  with pIII 500mhz processor. runs perfect, no glitches.
        
            
Great gameplay, but lousy structure

            This is a great game on many levels - but has a terrible structure for all but the most hardcore of time-losing gamers.  The big problem with this game is that you can only save at the end of levels - and some are massive.   So your only options are to either play through the entire level (some  take hours), or quit part of the way through and start over at a later  date.  If you don't have lots of time to dedicate to this game, then you  should steer clear.  The sanctuary of lava, for example, requires at least  2 hours to clear properly - and remember NO SAVING!  It's too bad that such  a wonderful game has such a fatal flaw.

            Buy Rayman 2. It is the best PC platform game and is better than any N64 platformer. It is fun to play and its graphics are great.
