'''''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]].

==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.
