Rayman 2: The Great Escape

Rayman 2: The Great Escape is an imaginative 3D jump-'n'-run that was released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. Developed by Ubisoft, Rayman 2: The Great Escape stands out from many of its genre colleagues with its creative world, cinematic staging and fluid gameplay - and is still considered one of the best Rayman titles ever.

In Rayman 2: The Great Escape, you take on the role of limbless hero Rayman as he battles an army of robotic pirates who have subjugated his home world. To stop them, Rayman must find the four masks of Poloku, awaken a powerful spirit and rescue his best friend Globox.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape offers varied levels in freely accessible 3D environments - including jungles, caves, flying temples and underground pirate bases. Rayman 2: The Great Escape combines classic platforming with action, puzzles and flying and swimming sequences, keeping the gameplay fresh and dynamic at all times.

Thanks to atmospheric music, lovingly designed characters and a surprisingly emotional story, Rayman 2: The Great Escape feels like an interactive animated movie. Rayman 2: The Great Escape was particularly impressive on the Nintendo 64 thanks to its graphics, fluid animations and precise controls.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape is a charming, varied adventure with heart and depth - and a real highlight in the 3D platformer genre that still inspires today.
