First appearing on the N64 in 1999, our favorite limbless little french thing hits the PS2 with all of the game levels brought together in a single coherent 3D world, eliminating the need for the 2D overworld map, and with an increased difficulty level.

Daily Radar
Although it doesn't make full use of Sony's new 800-pound gorilla, it does have spectacular and colorful graphics, ingenious level design, a wonderful cast of characters and an enormous game world to explore.

It's the best version of one of the best 3D platform games ever made.

It's one of the greatest achievements in the history of 3D platform games and should be given the same admiration given to titles like Miyamoto's "Mario 64."

Despite a few blemishes, it's hard to call this game anything but beautiful.

Rayman is more like "MYST" -- a beautiful journey where nothing much is required of you, and nothing much really happens. And with the sun shining, the waterfalls sparkling, the magic mushrooms making pyramids, and a tummy full of Lums, that's just a pretty peachy place to be.

In spite of its upgrades, Revolution suffers in some areas compared to other versions of Rayman 2, particularly the Dreamcast game.

It is creative, beautiful, and most importantly, it is a great deal of fun from the very beginning to the very end.

If you own the Dreamcast version, then there's far too much overlap to warrant owning this as well.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

Jimmy gave it a 10:
1 word: GREATEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE AND NOTHING BETTER WILL EVER EXIST!

Ziggy Stardust gave it an 8:
It ranks up there as my favorite platformer on the PS2. It's long, fun, and engaging. I only wish they tested it a little more before publishing it. There are a fair number of weird bugs you'll likely encounter. Fortunately saving is frequent, so it's not a big deal pressing reset.

B. S. gave it a 9:
Realy addictive and you just can't stop (not talking about the first word I put up there you prev's) The games music rocks lots of lauguages to choose from (encluding Ramanish) and lots of entertainment. the problem it's the same one out for ps1 and 64 four only with an upgrade hear and there...
