Both can easily create confusion. I think that Grolem could have been white coloured for example since he is associated to wind, or having a more transparent colour.

Those flying shell parts really mess with my head! I can't tell up from down and left from right when I get going on that thing! o_0

Ah, you're in the Prison Ship, indeed, the controls can be a little disorienting, but I've grown accustomed to 'em.

I just completed Rayman 2 this morning. :D

Uh, I must admit, I absolutely lost it laughing when Ly's face appeared on that glowing orb. I dunno why, but it cracked me up. And shortly after when Rayman turned his head around with his jaw hanging open, that made me laugh too.

I'm sorry, I know I was supposed to take that cutscene seriously, but... I dunno. XD

Hahaha, no. :lol:

The lum-collecting was not one of my strong points in the game! I guess in a sense I didn't really complete Rayman 2, but I defeated Razorbeard. :)

Ah yes, the look of absolute terror on his face when he turns around and Razor's just sitting there in the Grolgoth.

Also, is it just me or does Rayman close his mouth when he blinks?

To tell you the truth, I never collected all lums myself either but I will try that for the first time ever in Let's Play I will do once in future.

At the end, Ly was all "The heart of the world has been repaired" and I was all "No it ain't, ya'll missin' a big load o' yellow lums!"

I admit the face he does is fun when Ly tells that victory is close, but curiously enough his expression is different in Rayman Revolution (and which I personally find more adequate):

But congratulations for completing the game! Now go ahead for the Lums. :P

Yes, I watched the PS1 cutscenes earlier and I must say there are several noticeable difference between the different versions. :)
And I certainly will go back for the lums after I 'cool down' a bit. And I think after playing Rayman 2 I have opened up to the Rayman 2 characters quite a bit more. I wasn't too fond of them before, for some reason, and I hoped playing the game would change that, as it has. :)

I know it feels strange since you suddenly are talking to "new" characters like if you knew since ever, but I think the way the game/story is done, it easily makes you forget that oddness and accepting the new characters. :)

Yes, that is quite true, it seems. :)

Also, as much as a lot of the cutscenes towards the end made me laugh at perhaps inappropriate times, I must say I did find strangely unsettling the part where Razorbeard had that fantasy in which the Grolgoth shakes Rayman about and he goes limp in it's grasper. I dunno why. o_0

Maybe "imagining to shake your biggest enemy" is a common fetische among every villain. :lol:

The way the Grolgoth shakes him into unconsciousness it rather creepy to me :U Rayman's like,
AaarlglgrBLARGHARALGLEH *knocked out*

But the way Ly's face appeared on that glowing orb... Cracked me up when I first saw it! :lol: And Rayman cautiously putting his nose into Polokus' portal after the last mask is found... I found that really cute.

Sounds like someone didn't have a very relaxing year-and-a-half break from the forum. ;)

Yes, it was indeed cute. :D

For the Ly part, I actually felt relief. :P

It certainly was a relief to hear that things were getting better for the people of the Glade, but the face on the glowing orb... I think I found it a bit cheesy, maybe that's why I cracked up laughing. :)
