Rayman 2 TGE - Sanctuary of Water and Ice (2/2)

[MarcusMcGrizz]

I've been looking for this DAMN song for a while now! :D

Finally found it, favorite song on my favorite Rayman game.

[drifter402]

WHY THE HELL IS ALEX ON FIRE. I MEAN hes the guardian of ICE. thank god thats not on pc.

[SPRLDR]

The iPhone/iPod touch release was based on the Dreamcast version, but for some weird reason they removed Globox Village, as well as the auras around Axel and Foutch. The upcoming 3DS version is also confirmed to be based on the Dreamcast one... hopefully they won't make the same mistakes.

[PIGEON1qwerty]

@SPRLDR they did. the flying shells also work differently as they stabilise automatically when you stop steering

[PIGEON1qwerty]

this is my favourite level because of the music

[taranisering]

Wow Polokus must've been high as fuck when he made that mask!

[supahsnuffy]

Sorry, meant the beginning of this bit xD the skidding.

[ikbenhetdatweetje1]

to bad this game dont work on vista :(

[TheOnlineXtreme]

Is it me or do you not see a lot of games like this anymore in this gaming generation? Rayman, Soul Reaver, Shadowman, Crash Bandicoot... Just mainly shoot em ups and racing games seem to stand out these days?

[MobianAngel]

Does anyone here happen to know what the music at 1:07 is called? It seems that nobody who uploaded the OST has it.

[Zeldakitteh]

Compared to the sanctuary of rock and lava, this is awesome. D=

[TheomanZero]

The Wisdom says there are only four kinds of Lums, but what about Green Lums and Silver Lums? (Also, that description of Blue Lums doesn't make much sense with how they appear in the game.)

[Saestrol]

I guess Green could be a sub-type between Red and Purple, but Silver... Not too sure about that one. Though with Blue Lums, all creatures have them. There doesn't seem to be an explanation for why there are Blue Lums floating around underwater though. (Maybe some aquatic life has passed away at those spots?)

[Ruvigy]

great game! just great how those creatures have crazy eyes xD

[wayamy27narf]

Is the Dreamcast version same as the PC version? If so, I HAVE to get a hold of it!!

I've played my psx version till I'm blue in the face. (in fact I'm playing it again these days.)

[Saestrol]

I'm not sure which of the two came first but the Dreamcast version is the only one to support 16:9

They aren't exactly the same, but they do share a lot in common.

[wayamy27narf]

Good to know. I've been listening/watching you play this at work. I'm intrigued by the differences in gameplay, plus the fact that there are more levels not in the psx version. I will get my hands on the PC version for sure!!

[PIGEON1qwerty]

@Saestrol pc came first. It is the same as n64, but with dreamcast music.

[PatMurph245]

on PS1 its ten times better.

it builds up throughout the sanctuary with no music, then bleak music, and then dark corridors you have to walk through and then you get to the guardians

loved it.

[k3ytech]

i think this must be the easiest boss ive ever done in any game

[Tw3pwn]

@k3ytech

pretty close, but you should try papu on crash bandicoot.

[hamzah90000]

why does axel have orange force around that isnt in any other versions

[Saestrol]

The Dreamcast version did some finishing touches to a lot of elements.

The glowing lava in the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire takes the cake.

[tomxD33]

This is my favourite level

[RayeliB]

Aww, they took out the music where Rayman walks up to the mask. It was there in the N64 version.

[peanutbuttajelly96]

i have the DS version, graphics suck compared to this

[larchex]

This was my fave level, but what I want to know, is why are there bats all over the place in the dreamcast version? ( I have the n64 version which is why it probably gets on my nerves ^.^") But I like this level because of the epic start of the quest for the 4 masks. Really awsome stuff.

[Dinoracha]

I'm perhaps the only gamer in the world who thinks Polokus is really damn cool. x3

[Saestrol]

That would be my own doing.

[xX0pcalscozp0Xx]

this personly was my favourate level

[RaiceaAndrei11]

and on the ps1 version they actaullly talk...and when you grab the purple lums the line that grabs them seams heavier

[RaiceaAndrei11]

lol on my ps1 version the sanctuary of water and ice DOES NOT EXIST

[stulip155]

no, in that version it's only called Whale Bay, lol.

[RaiceaAndrei11]

no,whale bay IS the whale bay.......SOWAI was deleted

[stulip155]

i'm not sure about what your reply means, but i meant that in the rayman 2 on the PS1, you find the first mask in Whale Bay.

in there i guess Whale Bay leads to the sanctuary, because isn't the sanctuary just the temple, and not the surroundungs?

[Nitromeman34]

will rayman collect da remaining masks? will da pirates succeed in world domination? and will da teensies find out who's da real king? stay tuned. (tv reference)

[kingflapjackthunder]

hey, did you record this with a camera on ps2? coz if you didnt just asking if you have the music. the music where you are fighting axel. i want it :) it would go perfect for my game maker game boss thx plz reply if you have it.

[SPRLDR]

Type "raytunes" into google.

[goldensurfer16]

this bastard of a game took me 6 years to beat on the n64. coz we didn't have a control pak, we would try to play it for hours on end until we gave up. then we finally got a control pak. bless those things! good times lol

[someweirdguy]

totally. same thing on me and my freinds. took 10 yrs. had to trade it in for the ps2 version cause i had a memory card on it. finally beat it after the while. lols

[81falcon81]

My first game I got I remember this music!

[SPRLDR]

It's kind of cool the way Axel glows yellow and Foutch glows blue in the DC version. Imagine if Grolem 13 was in it, he'd look awesome with a crimson aura!

[crashfan300]

that boss is hard?

[Saestrol]

No way, this boss is EASY.

just one single hit and he's dead! The hard part is getting up there. Sometimes he throws icicles at you, and it's tough to see them.

[HylianMajyk]

I think that's more of the boss here. Swinging from Lum to Lum while having icecicles hurled at you.

[goomboss01]

first game i got lol

[allofyour10]

what is tge?

[Saestrol]

"TGE" = The Great Escape

It's shortened so the video title would still fit.

[allofyour10]

oh... thanks!

[galaxymario123]

Go AXEL!!!

[LaZodiac]

Oh, wait, yha. Yha. Its defintly the sliding bit that made me forget this place. God I sucked at it so much.

Its oh so convienent that Rayman is the destined hero. Otherwise he wouldn't be wearing a O shirt to open up that mask thing.

[Saestrol]

Come to think of it, what is with that shirt? He's always worn it ever since the first game.

Well I guess it suits him so no qualms there.

[monkeyman767]

which version of the game is this??

[Saestrol]

Another time: Dreamcast version.

[monkeyman767]

ha ha sorry i only saw that you had answered that after i asked it

[mariokill0]

i loved this part ^.^ im so good at it

[mastersan6]

Ahhh, Water and Ice. Containing one of the catchiest songs in the whole Rayman soundtrack.

Good times.

[Teddybeer123]

Wikipedia says the PC version is 'sharper'.

[Saestrol]

Are you running the game on lower settings? I don't have the PC version (thinking of looking for it), but I have seen lots of changes when there isn't much graphical "oomph" in it.

[djpiratz41]

i think swinging up to the stalgmite is tricky but defeating axel = easy!

[YouAllSuck5000]

Why can't they have Axel's glow blue & Fouch's orange?! HAVING DIFFERENT GLOWS MAKES THEM LOOK BALD!!!!!

[8CookingMama8]

i have it on N64 and PC. That level is a nightmare i still cant beat it!

[GangBoxer]

N64: best rayman 2 version

ds: the second best

ps1: the worst!!!!!!

[Saestrol]

Dreamcast would like a word with your claim! Heh heh.

Haven't played or seen much of the PS1 version, but it seems quite different.

[Teddybeer123]

N64 isnt the best, music is worse. ps1 version rox -.-

[Gimelbub]

I beg to differ. They speak English in the ps1 version, and they threw in an extra boss. N64 is best music-wise, Dreamcast is best graphic-wise, and there's actually a boss in The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire in the ps1 version. There everyone's happy.

[m03ez]

This has definitely got to be the best Rayman 2 version (luckily i own this version) i'm still impressed by the graphics.

[Teddybeer123]

Yes, but it doesnt work on the ps1 version :'(

[Saestrol]

Hmm... good thing I'm playing the Dreamcast version. I'll make a special eye out for the crevice in the wall.

If it gets you 100% then it's a shoe-in.

[Saestrol]

I certainly want to. I just hope I don't do something stupid and miss a Yellow Lum in a tricky spot.

This will make some levels longer so perhaps speed, accuracy and advanced editing will be in order.
