We found no obvious bugs and the game's enjoyable platforming should be well-preserved. Even though the game's camera can be less than ideal, the basic exploration elements and cute story will certainly be worth your six dollars.īesides the obvious visual issues that come with playing a 3D PSone game on an HD TV, Rayman 2 runs quite nicely on the PS3 and PSP. If you can get past these visual issues, however, you'll find an enjoyable platformer with some solid controls and good level design underneath.

The great thing about old 2D games is that they still preserve their sprite-based charm, but Rayman 2's extremely obnoxious polygons will definitely not be easy on the eyes. Rayman 2 is another example of a game that - while it may have looked fantastic several years ago - looks absolutely awful now.

It's right up there with Ape Escape as the system's best platformer and it's a better overall gaming experience than any of the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon games.

The game has very few flaws, it's one of the best designed platformers of all time and if you don't have a Dreamcast and you consider yourself a fan of 3D platform adventure games, there's no reason why you shouldn't go out and buy this game right now. However, that's not really a legitimate reason to knock the game and - compared to its peers on PlayStation - Rayman 2 can hold its own against any other platform game on the system. The simple truth is that some of the magic of the game is lost when you play it on PlayStation, after seeing how beautiful the world looks on Dreamcast.
