Rayman 2 could have been a great port if it wasn't for the control problems. The game contains forty five levels, with extra challenges and plenty to collect. The game is vibrant, and expressive however, with character designs being a highlight. The models are quite simple and the textures are muddy. The original Rayman 2 was released in 1999 and the 3D graphics show their age. Rayman shoots energy with his fists, but can throw kegs, and ride a plum as well.

The levels consist of freeing captives, collecting Lums and exploring. The camera is a blessing though, simply moved around by the swipe of a finger. The controls can be kind of sticky and don't respond all that well, which is a shame for a platformer. Rayman must collect the thousand Lums and reunite four magical masks to awaken the world spirit to get rid of the pirates.Ĭontrol is taken care of via a virtual analogue stick and two buttons, one for jump, one for attack. The Glade of Dreams has been taken over by robot pirates from outer space! They have imprisoned most of the locals. The sequel made its way into 3D and has now been ported to the iphone.

Back when every developer and their dog was making 3D platformers, one of the standouts was the Rayman series by Ubisoft, with its ghost limbed protagonist and colourful world.
