Latest Games Reviewed: Rayman 2

Author: Maddie - Published: 15 June 2025, 12:57 pm

Rayman 2: The Great Escape is an adventure platformer developed by Ubi Studios UK and released in 2001 by Ubisoft for Game Boy Color. This portable adaptation of Michel Ancel's celebrated masterpiece represents an ambitious attempt to translate the original three-dimensional experience into a two-dimensional platformer, successfully capturing much of the charm and personality that made the Rayman series so beloved.

The Game Boy Color version radically transforms the original's gameplay, completely abandoning the 3D perspective in favor of a traditional side-scrolling platform approach that more closely recalls the first Rayman from 1995. Despite this fundamental change, the developers at Ubi Studios UK managed to preserve key elements of the narrative and atmosphere, maintaining Rayman's quest to save his friends and liberate the Glade of Dreams from the robot pirates led by Admiral Razorbeard. This return to 2D roots would prove prophetic, as the series would eventually embrace this approach again with the critically acclaimed Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends.
