currently the only way i've ever played rayman 2 to completion, because im a weird little gremlin woman. it's not THAT bad, people always blow things way out of proportion when it comes to this game's quality. the audio's a little blown out, there's some glitches here and there, and yeah i'll admit the lum that you can't get because of the broken spiderweb is kinda bullshit, but that's all pretty minor stuff in the long run. you COULD be playing rayman DS, which is an actual crime against humanity, but this version really isn't that bad.
This goes from one of the worst versions of Rayman 2 to one of the better ones if you have a modded new 3DS, as overclocking and enabling L2 cache makes this game run at a near flawless 60fps instead of the terrible inconsistent 20fps it originally runs at. As for the game itself, its alright, its a fun little mindless platformer. My major gripes with the game is that it felt a bit too zoomed in so it was hard to tell what was going on, the enemies were more annoying than challenging since they barely did damage, the environments felt so drab and dull, and the audio seems flubbed. Outside of that, this version was neat
Rayman 3D is one of many ports of Rayman 2: The Great Escape. It's a 3D platformer (with some third person shooter elements) that focuses mostly on linear levels with a decent amount of combat. Although the game's fun, at times it can be pretty frustrating, especially with the usual tacked-on gimmicks of early 3D platformers. Recommended mostly if you want to try an old 3D platformer.
