Rayman 2 is a solid platform game with awesome, graphics, sounds, music, and gameplay. While it is not perfect, I think it is a much better platform game for dreamcast than the irritating Sonic Adventure. The plot is decent, and unlike Sonic Adventure and its obnoxiously awful "adventure mode," you can just get to the next level instead of wandering around aimlessly or watching incredibly bad cut scenes in which nothing happens. When you first play, the graphics will mesmerize you. The even run at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second, and the worlds are incredibly cool-looking and surreal. Whether you are foot-skiing through swamps or descending into a lava zone, the graphics will always catch your eye. The sound is excellent too. All the characters have an amusing babble that's always funny to listen to, and the music is top- notch (especially in the bayou). The gameplay is also fun, if a bit linear. It is always fun to explore the big levels and fight enemies with the game's easy controls.
However, the game isn't perfect. Yes, it is a bit short, as you might have heard already, but that isn't what bothered me. The problem is that the levels get less and less fun and interesting toward the end. For example, the precipice is just repetitive and there is almost no eye candy. Another disappointing level was called "The Top of the World," which was marked by a big tree on the map. I thought I was going to exploring huge heights, but after a so-so zoom on a chair through the level, the rest was just the ugly insides of the pirate hideout. Of course, you will still have fun with this game. Platform fans should definitely check this one out.

WoW! I bought this game took it home that night, popped it in, and played it for 3 hours straight. The graphics are so immersive that just watching someone else play would be a good use of your time. The puzzles are just difficult enough to stump you for a minute or two, and there are many cool minigames. The control is great! The only thing wrong with it is it's a little too short (about 15 hours to complete), and the camera is bad at times (especially in the spots when they don't let you center it). Overall, for [the money]: this game is a must have for any action/platforming gamer on the DC. (I'm really 14)

First of all, this is a good game and both fun and pretty to look at. However, there are some serious flaws. Many of the levels have the player navigating narrow, corridors with sharp turns for no apparent reason. This game is very short and is not challenging at all, as others have pointed out.
This is also one of the few Dreamcast games that offer 16:9 widescreen TV support, although it's a shame the output is not anamorphic, but those with widescreen TV sets will be pleased as it does offer a wider view of the world, which can be helpful since the camera control is rather poor.
But the real disappointment comes in the deviation from the original Rayman. While the bright colors and many of the background effects (like the self-stacking mushrooms and butterflies are familiar entities fromt the original), many of the characters and environments in this new version do not fit in with the world of Rayman. The first Rayman was a vast game with lots of variety and also very challenging, often keeping users occupied for months on end... This sequel looks mostly the same the whole way through, is very short, and not challenging in any measurable way.
Some other reviewers have have said that Rayman just does not belong in 3D, but I disagree. I think a 3D Rayman is a great idea, however this title just didn't have the same atmosphere as the original and failed to deliver the same depth of gameplay due to poor camera control (especially compared to most other 3D platform games) and the very limited environments and length of the game.
Fans of the original or those looking for a challenging game that will keep them busy for a while, will be sorely disappointed with this one. However, it is still an entertaining title for those looking for pretty graphics and relatively easy gameplay.
Those who have not played the original may not find so much of this game as bothersome as I do.

Rayman 2 gets just about everything right- it is a game that was created with a sense of wonder and fun that draws you right in.
The Dreamcast does an amazing job of polygon pushing in this game, every level is fabulously rendered. A very interesting technique of pure 2D art being place in the game (self-stacking mushrooms, ghosts, and other things) really helps keep the game looking fresh, original, and not too boxy. In the first level of the game, there is a field of butterflies that you can run through, causing them all to flutter about. The camera angle changes to help you appreciate the view. Very nice.
The camera was occasionally frustrating, and once or twice maddening, but usually very non-intrusive.
My biggest complaint with the game were the occasional levels that had tracks in them (flying on a rocket, or skiing in a swamp) these levels were fun, but sometimes enraging in their nitpickiness. The game is usually very generous with waypoints, though, so it is not too big of a deal. Once you've hit the same pipe sticking out of a wall 5 times though, it starts to wear on you.
The best thing Rayman 2 does is get you engaged with the world- the true aim of this type of game, in my mind. You will love Rayman, his friends, and his world by the end of the game.
Pick this game up for the kids, pick this up for yourself, you will have a great time!
