Rayman 2: The Great Escape is Rayman's second game, and is the sequel to Rayman. It was first released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64 and was followed by ports for the Sega Dreamcast, PC, and Sony Playstation, with each port being different in its own little way. It was also the first 3D game. Rayman 2: The Great Escape is often abbreviated as Rayman 2 or (to avoid confusion with the similarly named Rayman 2: Revolution) R2.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Rayman 2 is somewhat similar to that of Rayman, though this time Rayman starts with a few powers to defend himself, one of which is given to him by Globox who is introduced at the very beginning.
Main Characters
The Good Guys
- Rayman (character) - The Hero of the Game
- Globox - Rayman's best friend and Uglette's wife
- Ly the Fairy - Rayman's friend and powerful ally
- Murphy - Serves as an "instructor"-type character
- The Teensies - Keepers of the Hall of Doors
- Clark - A friend of Rayman's
The Bad Guys
- Admiral Razorbeard - The Villain of the Game
- Robo-Pirate Army - Razorbeard's Army
Environment
Unlike Rayman, Rayman 2 is not divided into certain themed worlds, but rather a trail of 20 different locations, none of which are as surreal as its predecessor's, but are still unsimilar to the real world. The levels are played in a linear fashion in a World Map known as the Hall of Doors, with most levels following a single path (though the Cave of Bad Dreams, Walk of Life, and Walk of Power are on side-paths). The player is able to backtrack to past levels if he or she wishes.
Hack
It is possible to run the game under higher resolutions than 1024x768 by a simple hack. By editing the file C:\WINDOWS\UbiSoft\ubi.in with a basic text editor, you'll have something like this
[SYSTEM] Test Sound=1 3DFX=0 Memory=511 MMX=1 Windows colors=34 CPU=9 [INSTALLED PRODUCTS] rayman2 [rayman2] GLI_DllFile=GliDX6 GLI_Dll=DirectX6 GLI_Driver=display GLI_Device=Direct3D HAL GLI_Mode=1 - 1024 x 768 x 16 ShortCutDesktopName=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Bureau\Jouer à Rayman 2 ShortCutDirectory=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Ubi Soft Games\Rayman 2 Language=French Configuration=2 VolumeName=RAYMAN2 SrcDataPath=\ Directory=C:\UbiSoft\Rayman2\ [OSD] Valid=TRUE
The GLI_Mode line define the resolution of the game. You'll just have to replace "1024 x 768" by "1440 x 900" to run the game in 1440x900 instead of the default 1024x768.
Caution : Modifying the other values may crash the game.
Re-Makes
- Rayman 2: Revolution - Playstation2 remake that essentially was a harder version of the original, with added levels, enemies, and a new free-roaming feature.
- Rayman DS - DS remake identical to the original N64 version, though many glitches and bugs were included that were not present in the original.
