REPLAYABILITY (5/10): The game itself is not too fun to replay, but there are 999 lums to find throughout the game and this is kinda entertaining. The gameplay is relatively fun at points, but become extremely repitive and boring later on in the game. The shooting is also easy against the simple pirates by using a ''Z'' targeting method similiar to Zelda. The few masters in this game are very easy, except the final one who is horrible. Also the controls are horrible with the missiles, cause you have to position yourself many times so you don't run into a wall off the start, and this is hard cause the missiles never choose to stop in a practical spot. Now with the slope parts the game automatically jumps for you, so this if you don't try to get the lums you can put down your controller and still get through. The rest of the gameplay is just jumping and shooting through many levels. There is one level where you waterski which is pretty fun, one level in which you ride by flaming barrels, many levels where you ride these little missiles, and many levels where you slide down slopes. GAMEPLAY (25/45): The game consists of level after level searching for 50 lums. Nothing too spectacular in the sound department, but enough to give it an above average rating. The sound affects however consist of tinging noises when you hit an object with your powerball, and the little shoot noise when you first shoot it off. I believe that the music was fitting, but nothing stupendous, as with alot of games. SOUND (6/10): This is the hardest category to rate, cause most the time you cannot remember the music in a game, unless it was spectacular. All in all, without the expansion pack the game is not bad at all graphically wise. However the characters all look interesting, and Rayman looks much more realistic then all of his other games. I always wondered what was the purpose for that expansion pack, when really no game takes advantage of it (besides Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark, and Zelda: Majora's mask). GRAPHICS (15/20): The graphics are not too bad, although like many expansion pack games, the extra pack does nothing to help it. I have yet to view the very ending, but the story itself is pretty good. ![]() Your friend Globex gets himself captured to deliver you a power from your sorceress friend, which helps you escape and send you on your mission to find four masks to free a great power, and begin a war with the pirate band. ![]() They have imprisoned thousands of friends on a ship. A band of pirates has taken your home into their custody and broken the 1000 lums that control your land. STORY (8/10): For a childish game, the story is not bad at all. This leads to semi entertaining play, and a game that after a while gets pretty repetitive. This game is kinda similiar to games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64, but there are no mini games, just constant searching. This game was a pricy $60 when I got it, and was easily the most expensive game I got that Christmas. After begging my way into getting a nintendo 64, I decided this game was one I really wanted. ![]() Rayman 2 looked extremely awesome in the commercial on television.
