Rayman 2 is a very traditional platformer that is executed extremely well. Players take control of the jointless main character through 45 differing environments, each with their own unique puzzles and challenge. All of that traditional platformer stuff you’d expect of such a game is, of course, standard. This includes the variety of moves: running, swimming, flying, jumping, hovering, climbing, grabbing, shooting and more. But there are some extras in the control department you might not think about. Rayman can strafe left and right, for example. He can also target enemies and objects. He can swing through the air, hang from vines, ride rockets, hide in bushes, and even use his friends’ abilities to his advantage. It all comes together wonderfully with brilliantly tight control that is, when mixed with the game’s puzzles, environments and quest, nothing short of addictive. Rayman happily trots through the lush 3D environments in the game, picking up powerful Lums that increase his energy and unlock new worlds (among other things). But this is hardly the character’s only task. There are also cages that must be found and opened, shells that must be utilized to gain access across otherwise uninhabitable terrain, magic spheres that open new areas.
