The Best Game in the Entire History of Forever [Posted on 2002-07-08]
Rayman 2 the great escape is the best game I ever played in the entire history of forever.I love the 3D animation a lot. It took me a while to finish it though.It took me 3 weeks to finish,but it is all worth it.....

rayman's best [Posted on 2002-08-05]
rayman is the best game ever. because you can't tell if it's in the past or future.I think rayman is a very creative character
and all the levelthe levels are great.I don't want to spoil the
whole game,but you should buy this game.

Great Platform Game For The Family [Posted on 2004-02-20]
Journey with Rayman as he ventures through more than 40 different levels ranging from mini several minute bursts to hour long conquests filled with marvelous, graphical scenery that will leave you breath taken and wanting another serving. With bonus levels, great music that put you into the mood of the game, and great accomplishments to meet, the game could be viewed as one of the best platform games ever created.

Of course there is a bad side to this of course. The game's camera angles can be confusing and uncooperative many times. Having a gamepad is almost a must-have for the full enjoyment of the game unless you really get use to the keyboard controlls, which is not that hard but tricky, or you're up for a lot of wrist pains trying to maneuver Rayman successfully. The main downside, for most players, is the save option, which is very strick, but isn't as bad if you think about the save points during each level in the level. Oh yeah, the controls can't be changed!

But other than that, this is a game in which every player should experience one time or another.

Great! [Posted on 2005-07-21]
This game is simply great. There is TONS of action, the graphics are great (from 1-5 it would be a 4), the missions are fun and challenging, and I just loved the characters and the story!
This is a really great game. If you have some spare money, then buy this game! (Well, it doesn't have to be spare money, it might just as well be saved money!)

This Game Saved Me [Posted on 2008-03-12]
While I do agree with most people that Rayman should have remained a 2-D vigeogame series, this is the very best possible attempt at making him in a 3-D game! I was extremely pleased with this game.

This game, which looked just as beautiful when it came out as it does now, features Rayman escaping from a prison ship and traveling across miles of vast lands and enviroments in his search for four masks to help him defeat the leader of an army of space pirates, who have enslaved the planet. Along the way you'll run into friends, some of which you must rescue, who will often grant you new cool powers. The camera is never a problem in this game, and the levels are all awesome fun. Die-hard fans of the original will be pleased to note that there are still cages to find and smash in this game, and they even look exactly as they do in the original Rayman (except 3-D).

As far as music and sound is concerned, I say that Ubi-Soft always composes the best music. Them and the people who did Shadow of the Colossus. There's no question about it, I have never found a Ubi-Soft game where the music wasn't spectactular and helpful in making the game that much more enjoyable. When Rayman interacts with his friends, they speak a form of gibberish to each other with subtitles of the language of your choice on the bottom. This is a lot more entertaining than having them actually speak a real language.

The only thing this game left me without was seeing more of the characters from the original game, and a 3-D version of some of the levels from that game would be amazing; who wouldn't want to be able to jump all over instruments or go in dark spooky caves in 3-D?

Since I gotta wrap this up I'll just say that anyone who wants a good adventure game should definitely get this game. For the record, this game is way better than Rayman 3 and all the games that game after. And with Rayman 2's low price, what do you have to lose?
