'''''Rayman Revolution''''', known in the United States as '''''Rayman 2: Revolution''''', is an updated remake of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' made specially as a launch title for the Sony PlayStation 2 in 2000. It was later re-released as a PlayStation 2 classic on the PlayStation 3 in North America. Several changes have been made for this version, notably the upgraded graphics, the inclusion of new areas, bosses and mini-games. Its difficulty was made slightly higher than that of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. Several levels underwent some minor changes, such as [[the Precipice]] and [[the Echoing Caves]]. Most changes are however only cosmetic.
{{Quote|text=Darkness has befallen [[the Fairy Council]]. An invasion force of [[Robo-Pirate]]s is scourging the planet on a mission of destruction. In desperation, rag-tag resistance groups engage the metallic monsters, hopelessly outmatched and outnumbered.
 
Meanwhile, at the rim of [[The Great Forest]], [[Rayman]] and his companion [[Globox]] lie hidden in ambush...
 
Crouching in a thicket, they hear the rising din of clanging steel. "Steady yourself," [[Rayman]] whispers. Suddenly, the ground beneath them shatters as a wave of [[Robo-Pirate]]s rumbles out from the brush. [[Rayman]] explodes into them, felling pirates with a volley of [[Magic fist|energy spheres]]. Trembling, [[Globox]] musters a [[Rain Dance|rain cloud]] and reduces one robot to a rusted heap. Then a horrible vision - the pained face of [[Ly]] - appears before [[Rayman]].
 
"[[Rayman]]," she gasps, "the [[Robo-Pirate|pirates]] have broken the [[Heart of the World|heart of the world]] and scattered all the energy - they seized everyone but [[Clark]]--"
 
The crushing grasp of a giant robot shocks [[Rayman]] out of the vision. Overtaken by the deathly embrace, his powers have withered with the destruction of the [[Heart of the World|Primordial Core]].
 
"Run, [[Globox]]!" he screams. [[Globox]] scampers away into the high grass, terrified. Rayman winces as a throaty laugh thunders from above. It's [[Razorbeard|Admiral Razorbeard]]. "You belong to [[Razorbeard|me]] now, [[Rayman|slave]]." Writhing in the robots' pincers, [[Rayman]] utters, "Gloat now, if you must. You can't hold me forever."|sign=Manual (US version)|source=''Rayman 2 Revolution''}}

==Development==
{{Quote|text=I left Paris for Annecy, where the local Ubisoft team was supposed to work on the PS2 port. I was appointed as art director on this port. It became quite tense, since they had already started working on another Rayman project, contrary to what had been planned. They were simply developing a new Rayman game. Needless to say, the situation became very complicated at first.|sign=Florent Sacré|source=''Retro Gamer'' issue 275}}
 
As revealed in issue 275 of the Retro Gamer magazine, ''Rayman Revolution'' was originally being developed as a whole new Rayman game at [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Annecy]] before [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Paris]] put them in charge of an enhanced version of ''[[Rayman 2]]''. This is speculated to have been the canceled [[Rayman Adventures (cancelled game)|Rayman Adventures]] project, for which a video trailer was made available by a former developer at [[Ubisoft|Ubisoft Annecy]].

Characters such as [[Ly]] the Fairy, [[Clark]], and the [[Teensie]]s appear much more often in this version. [[Ly]] increases [[Rayman]]'s health by offering mini-games, which include the Walks of [[The Walk of Life|Life]] and [[The Walk of Power|Power]] and [[Roller Coaster Challenge|the roller coaster segment]] that was previously in [[the Top of the World]], in exchange for freeing the [[Familiar Spirit]]s, new spirit creatures that are imprisoned in [[cage]]s by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. Meanwhile, the [[Teensie]]s host the [[Teensie Circle]]s – teleportation hubs which replace [[the Hall of Doors]] and allow [[Rayman]] to return to places he has already visited.

==Music==
==Music==
The regular music tracks for each level do not play when [[Rayman]] revisits them, instead simply featuring an ambiance track. Certain pieces of music still appear, most notably during the sections with more action, such as [[the Precipice]] and when engaged in battle with [[Robo-Pirate]]s. One exception is in the [[the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire]], where visiting the optional temple (phase 2) makes the main track play after getting back to phase 1 again.

Another musical difference between the game and [[Rayman 2|the original versions]] is the omission of the special music that plays during the tally screen display at the end of the level. Instead, the game simply continues playing whatever track was playing when the level ended.

The game requires much more backtracking than before to collect the [[Yellow Lum]]s and break the [[cage]]s that [[Rayman]] could not access for the first time. Objects such as cannons, beacons, plants and [[mushroom]]s appear throughout the game, and need [[Rayman]] to gain his new powers and special items (such as the [[Rain Mask]]) in order to use them. A notable difference between the previous versions is that [[Rayman]] is not granted with the [[Magic fist|shooting power]] at the beginning, but is simply given the ability to [[Telescopic fist|punch]], though he is shortly given the [[Magic fist|shooting power]] by the [[Grand Minimus]]. As [[Rayman]] progresses, his shots get much stronger thanks to [[Silver Lum]]s, until he can produce a shot that is as powerful as an exploding grenade.

Later in the game, [[Rayman]] is given some items to help him, such as the [[Rain Mask]], which allows him to perform a [[Rain Dance]] like [[Globox]]'s and helps plants to grow, and the [[Lums Radar]], which is a magnet that can help him find any [[Yellow Lum]]s that he may have missed. Recalling [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], [[Rayman]] can at one point be shrunk to help him squeeze through a small hols by eating a [[Yellow mushroom]] that he needs to water with the [[Rain Dance]].

Unlike the previous versions, [[Rayman]] can keep his [[Super helicopter|flying power]], which he lost [[beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava]], conditionally - he can only use it whenever he is [[Super helicopter|flying]] above any body of lava, and when he is in battle with [[Grolem 13]].
