User:SilentSanctuary/Rayman (pelisarja): Difference between revisions

Raymanin seuraava seikkailu, ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', on tarinaltaan aiempaa synkempi ja ympäristöiltään realistisempi. Ennen pelin alkua [[Haavemanner|Haavemantereelle]] on hyökännyt avaruudesta peräisin oleva [[Robo-Merirosvo]]jen armeija, johta johtaa paholaismainen [[amiraali Razorbeard]]. Merirosvot ovat orjuuttaneet kymmeniä tuhansia viattomia ja vanginneet heidät valtavalle lentävälle laivalleen, ''[[Bukkaneeri]]lle''. Rayman liittyy vastarintaliikkeeseen ja matkustaa ystävänsä [[Globox]]in kanssa [[Suuri metsä|Suureen metsään]], jossa merirosvot tekevät tuhojaan. Taistelun tiimellyksessä Raymanin voimat katoavat yllättäen, ja hän saa [[Ly]]-keijulta telepaattisen viestin, jossa kerrotaan, että Robo-Merirosvot ovat tuhonneet [[Maailman sydän|Maailman sydämen]] ja hajottaneet sen tuhat [[Keltainen lum|keltaista lumia]] ympäri Haavemannerta. Maailman kosminen tasapaino on horjunut, ja sekä Rayman että Ly ovat menettäneet voimansa. Rayman joutuu merirosvojen vangiksi, mutta pyytää pelokasta Globoxia hakemaan apua Lyltä. Myöhemmin Globox antaa merirosvojen vangita itsensä päästäkseen tapaamaan Raymanin. Hän antaa tälle Lyltä saamansa [[Hopeinen lum|hopeisen lumin]], jonka hän on onnistunut salakuljettamaan vankilalaivalle. Hopeinen lum antaa Raymanille jälleen kyvyn ampua [[taikanyrkki|taikanyrkillään]], ja hän pääsee ilmastointikanavan kautta pakoon laivalta. Globox kuitenkin töytäisee vahingossa Raymanin alas laivan kannelta, ja molemmat putoavat maahan.

On his journey to find [[Ly the Fairy]], Rayman meets [[Murfy]] (a helpful [[greenbottle]]) and the [[Grand Minimus]] (the king of the [[Teensie]]s) for the first time. When Rayman finds Ly, she asks him if he has heard of Polokus, and he tells her that he has not. Ly informs Rayman that Polokus's power is immense, and that he is their only hope of defeating the [[Robo-Pirate]]s, but that he has been sleeping for many years. In order to reawaken Polokus and enlist his help, Rayman must track down the [[four Masks of Polokus]] – ancient artefacts that the god hid around the Glade of Dreams, and which, when reunited, could bring him back. In order to do this, Rayman must defeat the masks' remaining Guardians, whose personalities range from reasonable to insane. Each time he finds a Mask, Rayman is briefly transported to Polokus's resting place, where he meets the ancient god for the first time and gives him his Masks, one by one. Rayman must also collect all one-thousand [[Yellow Lum]]s scattered throughout the game to repair [[the Heart of the World]], and free dozens of friendly creatures that the pirates have imprisoned in [[cage]]s. Along the way, Rayman carries out many tasks, rescuing his friends [[Sssssam|Sssssam the Watersnake]], [[Carmen the Whale]], [[Globox]], and Globox's 650 babies. At one point, while searching for an [[Elixir of Life]] to cure his friend [[Clark the Giant]], Rayman encounters his first foe, [[Jano]], the monster whom he was created to defeat. Jano is now the Guardian of [[the Cave of Bad Dreams]], a subterranean grotto where Polokus's nightmares are imprisoned. Although they have a protracted battle, Rayman defeats Jano, who apparently comes to respect Rayman when he chooses the Elixir of Life for his friend rather than a mountain of gold. They part on good terms. Eventually, Rayman collects all four Masks, reawakening Polokus, who uses his power to destroy almost every [[Robo-Pirate]] in [[the Glade of Dreams]]. However, Polokus's power does not extent into the air, so he cannot take down Razorbeard and his prison-ship, the ''[[Buccaneer]]''. Rayman travels to the ''Buccaneer'' to free its prisoners and defeat Razorbeard himself. After a long battle, Razorbeard flies away in his esape pod and blows up the ''Buccaneer'' with Rayman inside. Rayman was believed by his friends to have died in the explosion, the only thing left of him being his left shoe. At his funeral, Rayman arrives safe and sound and is reunited with his foot. After his long and difficult adventure, he is told that the [[Robo-Pirate]]s are gone and [[the Heart of the World]] is back together. Rayman is then told to rest, as it is unknown what challenges tomorrow will bring.
