Rayman Pirate-Community

No, it was an official video on the site. I think it predated Rabbids.

My friend has a PS2, Xbox360, GBA SP, DS and a PC. Would he be better off getting Rayman Revolution, Rayman 2 (PC) or Rayman DS?
Please give me honest answers as I don't want to give him suggestions that we both may regret.

If your friend likes really challenging games, with big longevity and more interaction with everything, I suggest Rayman Revolution.
If he just likes a classic game, then he can bet on Rayman 2: The Great Escape for PC. These are my suggestions.

Yeah the PC version's the most magical and straight forward one that I've played, it doesn't have all that in-between stuff like revolution.

What's wrong with in-between stuff?

Well, it's not bad, it just drew the game out a bit and took you away from the main story for too long sometimes IMO.

Even though several levels are stupidly messed up in Revolution, it's an awesome game from a beginner's point of view. But if your friends wants to play a real Rayman game, he should go for the original Rayman 2

An official pre-Rabbids R4 video?

Describe it in detail...

My memory is sketchy. All I really remember was that I got it on RZ, it said that development of R3 and R4 started at the same time, and that R4 was going back to Raymanian.

Does anyone know a way to finish the R2 Beta?

I don't think there is.

Does anybody else have this? It's a Rayman watch that came with Rayman 2 for PS1 a long time ago. I lost mine but managed to find another on eBay. It keeps good time and is in great condition. I've never heard anybody here talk about it so I made this post.

Technically PluMGMK is right. Unless you want to become a programmer and do a lot of scattered research on what the 1st Rayman 2 was about. Plus that watch looks very rare. I'm sure you'll probably find it sometime or another.


On another topic, has any one noticed a couple glitches in The Iron Mountains(Rayman Revolution)?They haven't been mentioned.

The 1st one is called the Reappearing Robo-Pirate. I'll explain. Go back into the Iron Mountains, over the bridge, past the Robo-pirate, and past the rotating table/switches. Some of you may have noticed this surprise, but there are two yellow pirates just before the next red one. (Hint: you can see something sticking out of the ground, a leg.) Battle them and the red pirate, get the golden gloves, go across the creek, through the tunnel, and battle the next red robo-pirate. Then another red pirate drills out of the ground. This one has the mega-beams of the purple pirate in RR. This red robo-pirate is from the DC, PC, DS, and N64 ports(versions) of R2. Defeat him, but go over to the side of the dam. Be careful and before the hill curves up a bit, you will see 2 corner to the left and right. Go over to the right side and he will reappear. If this doesn't work, go and battle your way to the top of the dam.For the second glitch, don't get rid of the next yellow robo-pirate. Just work your way upward. Get rid of the purple pirates that parachute downward. Quickly use look mode to gaze down to see the red pirate from before has reappeared.

The 2nd glitch is called The Misfiring Glitch. When you come to the last yellow robo-pirate in the level in that tight space with the net up to the dam, he will fire at you.Go around him once/twice or try to climb onto the net and jump behind him. In both cases, you need to get behind him. If it works,(it should work) he will keep firing fire in the direction you came in. Now you can destroy the robo-pirate.

There's also another glitch in the Menhir Hills when you revisit the room Clark was sick in. Rayman is invisible and running backwards through the walls. No one knows what causes it. The only way to stop it is to jump of punch. This hasn't been mentioned in the forum either when I was reading all 140 pages.

Also the big pirate glitch that 1st occurs in the Echoing Caves and in The Top of The World. I don't know about Windows 7/XP , but on W. Vista, there's an alternate way to fix this. Right click on the R2 icon and click properties. Go to Compatibility. Click the very last setting, "Run this program as administrator." If you have multiple users, click "show settings for all users." Click yes on the pop-up window. Do the same thing,"Click the very last setting, 'Run this program as administrator.' " I don't know about W7, but it should be similar if it can handle R2.

I also have some new ideas for the robo-pirates. You know color, weapon upgrades, etc. So what do you think? Try out the IM glitches. They should work, because they work for me.

I can't believe no-one tried running as admin.

Never seen it before. It looks cheaply made.

I want it!

Are you talking about the 2D level in R2 PS1? You need to jump onto the cannon and fire it at the glue on the wall, if that's the part you're stuck on.

I really want to play that level, but I no longer have a Ps1 console and I can't save my progress on the Ps2. -_-

Just play it on ePSXe.

I played it several times, but there isn't anyway to finish it.
