The themes to each level suit the environments, with bouncy happy tunes for the beautiful forests and odes of despair for the cave of bad dreams. The N64 version was proclaimed highly for its graphical prowess and this is a trend that has thankfully carried over into the handheld version of the game. Each environment has great attention to detail, such as running water and crabs scuttling along the beach. Raymans world has been created to be quite pleasing to the eye. Although the game does look nice on your DS as it did on the N64. The graphics are reminiscent of the N64 version with no real obvious aesthetic changes. But can Ubisofts mascot live up to the platforming standard of Mario? Lets see shall we? Mario 64 DS was a N64 port and we can honestly say Nintendo still managed to pull out a great game. Of course this doesnt mean the game is bad. The main difference being the replacement of the Rayman 2 logo with the Rayman DS one. Cutting straight to the chase, the game hasnt changed much since those days.
The original game, titled Rayman 2: The Great Escape was a N64 game. And propelled by those attributes, The Great Escape feels gigantic, blasting into the pantheon of the best games of its era and standing out among them for using the full extent of its energy towards being straightforward and fun rather than employing its ambitions in matters of size and scope.Before anything else Ill get one thing straight. In that regard, Rayman’s second adventure was certainly not alone, for many were the games and studios that tried to explore that interesting middle ground however, arguably, none of them did so as well as the limbless hero, because the variety, quality, level of polish, and production values contained here are nothing but extremely rare. With The Great Escape, the company opted to build, in the recently discovered 3-D realm, a quest that was open to the new opportunities unearthed by the latest technological developments, but whose main concern lay in being simple and old-school. During a time when most platformers and adventure games had their sights so deeply set on taking advantage of the grand environments supported by cutting-edge hardware that they ended up, positively, straying away from the genres’ origins, Ubisoft went the other way. As such, Rayman 2: The Great Escape is a flooring oddity of the Nintendo 64 days.
