I love it, but I think the price is a bit excessive for what it is.

It's fine, although I'm not entirely convinced by the soundtrack.

It's okay, although I wouldn't have included the accessibility options (infinite lives, etc.).

I expected more from Ubisoft. They should have made some improvements, just like the fans did with Rayman Redemption.

EDIT: Also, I personally think the img tags in the first post would be a good idea. :hap:
Let's go with these for the moment. :hap:

I'd prefer to listen in Raymanian for all versions of Rayman 2, it feels more natural to me growing up with the PC version. The English voice acting for the PS1 version sucked in my opinion (Raymin :lol: ) (sorry PS1 lovers), but I didn't mind the English voice acting for Rayman Revolution though and it was alright.

I vote Raymanian also. The PS1 voice acting is pretty bad and I don't even like using English in Revolution either. It sort of makes me cringe when I hear them speak English for some reason even though I don't mind the way Rayman 3 is.

Same, I also voted Raymanian and I would definitely listen to characters speaking in Raymanian than English anytime because I feel like English just takes away the mystery and charm of the game which doesn't fit the game as it's all about mystery and magic and charm and all.

The next suggestion is the following:

I kind of sneaked this one into the Bzitt/Moskito poll (containing the implied "Is Revolution canon?" question) but I can do it on its own too I suppose. Should the question just be about canonicity, or something more general?

I'm thinking mainly because of levels being renamed or changed, then other things such as Grolem 13. I guess there's also the fact that the 1000th Lum ends up being in a chest instead of the secret area.

I reckon all of this is like changing this all time childhood game into one big action movie film.

With apologies for the (now usual) lateness, here's the new poll.

In terms of whether I like the game or not, I'm in the middle. The concepts that were brought into Revolution were interesting, like the mini-games that were in other versions can be played here and the idea of the hub worlds, but I just didn't like how ambiance music replaced the normal level music and the way the game lags heavily in certain areas, among other things. One thing I can definitely say for sure though, is that it's too different imo to be canon Rayman 2. I think it's just its own game entirely.

It's too different but I kinda like it basically. I wouldn't call it Rayman 2 and the US putting Rayman 2 in the title doesn't even work in my opinion. The worst thing about it for me would be the framerate and the glitches, but that's not the point of this poll I guess. I think some of the added fights don't even fit properly either and Grolem 13 shouldn't be a thing.

The time I heard about the secret yellow lum was when I was watching Saestrol's Rayman 2 playthrough videos back when I was like 7 years old.

It would've felt better if I discovered it myself of course, but the reason I knew about it was because I was watching some playthrough videos out of boredom and came across it.

The person who wrote all the walkthroughs and secret guides, obviously. :mrgreen:

I don't remember when and where exactly, but I read/heard about this lum before getting it for the first time.

I forgot to vote, but I read about it on RPC. I think people were talking about how the 3DS version is broken.

UPDATE: Here are the results of the last one.

Anyone have any suggestions for the next one?

I don’t think this has been brought up in this thread,
But how about the next one be a poll on which personality of Globox is your favorite?
