Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PS1) - Crow's Nest

[DarkHari]

Hmmm...I do have to say that I'm actually fond of the gibberish in the N64 version. :O

Fantastic game though. Playing it right now!

[Battery206781]

That's the worst voice acting i've heard since faces of evil

[DarksideEXE]

Why wasn't this version of the boss in Revolutions?

[RjtheDj53]

First ps game. So many memories -3. Yea

[DaXzOr]

I wonder...the psx version was complete with voicework, did any other versions have this as well? I kinda wish the PC version did, I can't stand all the mumbling.

[giserson2]

@DaXzOr ps2 version

[123raymanfan]

OoT (out of topic) but I don't think rayman 3 would work for 3ds not for hardware but the capacity of the game card. No?

[MindOfCreativity]

I LOVE this version over the other versions, the final boss battle in that tunnel is so EPIC.

[ninjabot121]

I had this on PS2 and I fucking loved it

[Luxai]

I remember this so perfectly... Ly never abandons you hehe.

[BLAK11111]

1:00 FIGHT !!!

[Stiglitz51]

AHHHH THE NOSTALGIA. IT HURTS! DAMN YOU NOSTALGIA!

[turokrd2]

this boss was hard when i was a kid :(

Badass music tho

[lisi03822]

@turokrd2 yes form em too -.- i tryed thousands of tyime and i beated him 1 time :/ and with the life tooo low -.-

[MaxArceus]

this was so much more difficult in the pc version

[honk611]

The PS2 / n64 Boss fight is much better. This one is just uncreative

[hitmontop16]

@honk611 ps1 version IS harder, though

[MindOfCreativity]

@hitmontop16 But the levels are also a lot smaller.

[Joost052001]

@MindOfCreativity Becase Rayman 2 Was A Litle Big For PS1

Also The Grafichs Are A Lot Bad

[MindOfCreativity]

@Joost052001 Yeah but it was also a lot easier, which made it more fun and less frustrating.

[Lahnapihvi]

Dat music.

[AJPLJSS]

I was shit at this level.

[SomeFluffer64]

9:03 you can see his shoe!

[MikadoHa]

I think that the boss on pc is better

[Notyu1459]

Microsoft Sam's favorite level.

[35april]

This level owns

[TheShadowWarriorish]

ALSO,IS THAT GAME GOOD?

[TheShadowWarriorish]

HELP ME!IDK WHAT TO BUY!THAT GAME,TEKKEN 3 OR FF7???? :)

[Tib19990000000]

Is it me? Or does the boss look a bit like a rabbit bot xD

[KingOfTheTeensies]

I was really shocked when I saw that this username was available :D

[geggisb]

lol? the boss isnt like that on ps2 or n64

[Narfstick]

@geggisb Yep, the theme is different depending of consoles.

[nintenboss]

DO A BARREL ROLE!

[Avizura]

@nintenboss *ROLL ...

Sorry.

[nintenboss]

@Avizura lol, I didnt see that, my computer must have corrected it, using french vocabulary...

[pillzepop]

getting to the crows nest was neer impossible

[SONGOKU02]

@pillzepop why that? i ever thought, that game was very easy.. o.o

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

I've only played the DS and PS1 versions of the game and I also noticed that, aside from the final bosses being completely different, the PS1 version was missing at least 3-4 levels.

[SONGOKU02]

@BrimstoneLandscapes hmm.. i thought the ps1 version was the same as the n64 version.. And the ds version and n64 version was 1 to 1 the same. The dreamcast version and the strange ps2 version was total different.

[Nsanity96]

@BrimstoneLandscapes Top of the World, Sanctuary of Water and Ice (though the slide and Axel are in Whale Bay). There's probably more. I'll be right back!

[Nsanity96]

I am back with research! Those 2 levels are the only levels that have been removed from the PS1 version. However, parts of levels were cut. Example; The first phase of Tomb of the Ancients was removed. The Sanctuary of Stone and Fire had the two temples merge together with some new areas.

[quero1410]

lol the pc version is MUCH harder! o.0

[Bo0Mhe4d5hOT]

WTF???? Thats it??? I played the PC version when i was 7 it was HARDER THEN THIS!!! Look it up! This is nothing compared to what i played!

[TheNintendo101]

this is just wrong

[damphier14]

if life could only be like that

[TheLovemusicguy]

WTH on ps1 it looks so easy just try the PC version boss battle you will have a harder time!

[SpyroTheDragon96]

@TheLovemusicguy

they are both easy for me

[TheLovemusicguy]

@SpyroTheDragon96 there both easy yes but PC version is a bit harder an i played it when i was 8 yrs old so yeah......than i wasen't that good at gaming yet, this must have been like my 4 ore 5 game, and it dindin't talked inglesh at that time, and i could'nt transalte it to my language any how so......i didn't knew what i was doing, had fun though

[SpyroTheDragon96]

@TheLovemusicguy

ok.my first game i ever played is Taz wanted,and i played when i was 6 or 7.ahhhhh goooooooooooood times without school

[TheLovemusicguy]

@SpyroTheDragon96 yeah when you have no school you can just play when ever you want

[levski935]

Cool boss battle

[molemole90]

i hate ds version of this!

[1994AcdcFan]

the boss i harder on ipod, i keep flying in to a wall and die over and over again

[Catman2030]

I hate the ps1 version of the final boss

[timninerell]

dude, you're the man. you didn't even get hit once. great dodging skills

[jochem1996]

great game, got it on the pc. quite good graphics for a 33 Mhz console though.

[ZPokemonfanA]

Is it me, or does Globox sound like Big The Cat from Sonic?

[finaldestiny100]

I wonder if is the same gameplay with the iPod touch.

[alexander5860]

i had this or nintendo 64 it was brilliant

[bombach007]

wait i got this game on pc and the boss battle is not so but better

[maarten833]

LOL! the adventure goes on! haha xD

[holycrapvids]

Well ive played the PC version and the boss battle was way harder than that and i dont like the voice acting i kind of like the jibberish better

[IMMWOODMAN]

@holycrapvids lol you are right. on the pc you fight him while he his hanging at 2 pillars, he shoots bullets at you that follows you, you need to go in annoying tunnels to get ammo while you are avoiding pillars and bullets, and sometimes the lava even goes up!

[nickisaws0me]

I liked the n64 version?

why

Because I was brought up with that console untill I got a ps2

I didnt think nothing was wrong wiv the sound or graphics on n64

but The game on 64 Raymond 2 great escape,

was in Jiberish strange reason..

[vjpearce]

How come when you collect all 800 lums in the game, it says you collected 90% of them. Where's the last 10%?!?

[AnimeRules4ever]

razorbeard has eaten them!!!

or those you missed fighting bosses(places you cant go anymore)

but you see a couple of times, razorbeard eating lums, so those 2 are the reasons, i would bet.

[XxImpactXGreatest]

@vjpearce Well oringally in some versions their 1000 lums it lims down to 999 because Razorbeard in his first cutscene eats it.

Another reason is if you collect all you seen i think some areas where you can only get it in one try like i think Glommy Island you get them lums idk. I only got the PSX and i got like a 90 to i think also you get the best time for them walk levels to.

[MEGADETHFAN3000]

I used to have it on PC... good ol' days XD anyhoo PC graphics were fantastic compared to N64 and PS1, but both these systems had a nice port of the great escape, to me an excellent game is an excellent game, graphic engine doesn't matter ^^

[crashbandicootsuck]

why n64 version and ds version were so shit?

well i dont know but nintendo also raped rayman 1 graphcish and music their shit gba port

(Sega dreamcast owned all other versions)

[crashbandicootsuck]

n64 version=shit midi music? LAME

ps1=cool music and much better voice than that shity n64 version :D

[hitmontop16]

whats the thing at the very end?

[WonkyTonkBotty]

@hitmontop16 if ya get at least 90% (720) of the yellow lums, you get to play a really old rayman 2 beta (which is like a polished rayman 1) after the game ends

[draciel80]

how come on the n64 version they would speak in some unknown language?

[jexventura]

THIS IS AWSOME.

Why the nintendo 64 final battel was diferent?

[Xenodude2000]

The PS1-version actually has voice acting?! This is really different from the PC version. And not really in a good way, either :/ Anyway, razorbeard is the best rayman villain ever. :D

[drskeletor1]

So what happens to Razorbeard? They never mention him in Rayman 3.

[ZombieKid24]

@drskeletor1 And Mr. Dark. I know your comment is 1 year old..

[2006man]

@drskeletor1 He is the main villain of the GBA version of Rayman 3, where he is defeated for good.

[MindOfCreativity]

@2006man Same with Mr Dark, he "escapes" in Rayman 1 and you defeat him for good in the Game Boy Color version of Rayman 1.

[2006man]

@drskeletor1 To be precise, the GBA version doesn't seem to be canon. Many people consider it the GBA version of Rayman 2, but with elements from Rayman 3 thrown into it. So basically, Razorbeard escaped after Rayman 2 and is never heard from again.

[DJdude250]

good times

[ApeEscaper493]

I remember this game. I still have it on a real PSX.

This game was hard... I never got the 800th lum. I always had just 799 lums at the end of the game.

[Susi7Wonka]

really?

which left?

[ApeEscaper493]

One at the Tomb of the Ancients.

[KreeketohGurl]

am kinda wondering how come u have the same boss as i do! Cuz the ACCTUAL razorbeard boss u fight in different way. How come that there are 2 versions of this game? o.O

[fuzzywzhe]

Depends on your console. This is the PlayStation 1 version. Every console had different limitations. The PS1 was probably the crappiest HW that this game could be written for. They did a lot of tricks to get the game on the PS1.

The final boss on the PC is entirely different, and N64 had a lot of differences as well.

[colonel24567]

the PS1 one wasn't all that great?

[fuzzywzhe]

No, the PS1 wasn't all that great.

It was a breakthrough for home video game consoles of course, but the PCs of the time could beat the hell out of it - of course, they were more expensive than a PS1, since PS1's were sold below cost because Sony made up the loss by taking a cut of profit for all games sold on it.

Not knocking the PS1 - when it came out, it was a revolutionary GAMING console, but hardly the best hardware you could get at the time.

[crashbandicootsuck]

you are WRONG! ps1 raped n64 and saturn in sales

[fuzzywzhe]

I'm not wrong.

Sales doesn't determine what is the better hardware. The PS1 was revolutionary for it's time, but by the time Rayman2 came out, the PS1 was the crappiest machine it was ported to.

[crashbandicootsuck]

n64 had shity sound and sluggier graphics so fuck you :)

[fuzzywzhe]

The Nintendo 64 had a 94 Mhz modified MIPS processor. The PS1 had a 33 Mhz modified MIPS processor.

Look, all I'm tried to do is educate you. but if you want to believe whatever happy horse shit you want to believe in, go right ahead. I don't care. I can't stop people from being idiots although the world would be a better place if I could, I can't.

So, whatever.

[crashbandicootsuck]

why music was so bad then?

[crashbandicootsuck]

and why graphics were sluggier?

i dont thik sluggier graphics is good thing

[fuzzywzhe]

"Sluggier"?

There was a limitation in the shader engine that limited the number of textures that could be loaded - but the PS1 had the same limitation.

If you look up Rayman 2 N64 here, you can compare directly if you care to do it. You can verify yourself which system had better capabilities by doing side to side comparison. What the PS1 had over the N64 was it used a CDROM, and not a stupid cart system.

[fuzzywzhe]

Don't you realize that I can take a modern computer system and give it LOUSY graphics, if I so choose?

You need to compare game A to game A on console B and console C.

Even that's not accurate. If a system isn't expected to generate a lot of sales, the developers don't worry about it so much. The PS1 version of Rayman 2 - is AMAZING considering the limitations they had to work with, but it was the best selling console of the 90s.

[crashbandicootsuck]

yes i was best console in 90s

[tppgegm]

I wish i had finished this game when i had it a long time ago...(on ps 1)....

[pokerockmario123]

who's sebastien bicorne?

[pokerockmario123]

I really love the low polygon Models! I wanna know how to rip them from the game...

[derdepp68]

der letzte teil vom battle is auf pc anders

VIEL SCHWERER!

[KewlMoneyz]

Razorbead sounds weird in this one.

[giourkas101]

does somebody knows where i can download rayaman2 the great escape for pc plz tell me i must have it :D

[davezilla1995]

best n64 game EVAR!!!!!!!!

[TheGimpster17]

i miss the ps2 classics

[osky283]

in the 64 version they talked like retards lol i have the game for n64 right next to me

[jvwarrior]

hellz yea it is. lol  never gets old,

[bigbuck900]

and i rembmer my battel with razerbeard being 100 tiems different then this one O_O, did the N64 one have a different battle?

[RaiceaAndrei11]

yeah it did

[bigbuck900]

is it me or did they not speck an in WORDS on the N64 version? i remember thenm talking like in the banjo-kazooie games. in mumbels words translated by text.

[TheHoodedDemon]

yeah your right, thats the way the n64 version did it. I should know i have the n64 version remake for the ds, they have a bunch of gibberish as you said.

[DarkFox6400]

It sucked that in order to save space on the N64 and DS carts, they have to use gibberish. There was a lot of dialog in this game. The gibberish still kind of added to the otherworldly experience, for me anyway. It doesn't matter to me.

[TheHoodedDemon]

I personally liked the gibberish cause it let my imagination fill the voice the way i liked it. especially the parts where in the ps2 version there was some narrator and in the n64 version there was no narrator narrating it which let me read it in the way i found appropiate

[ClydeSha212]

The PC version also used gibberish, and I actually prefer the gibberish.

Though it also looks like the second half of the boss fight differs a lot!

[TheHoodedDemon]

agreed

[RaiceaAndrei11]

its actually called gibberish :P

[XxDreadweavexX]

Great game. I preferred the 64 version

[mrGlitch2000]

I've never beaten the final boss on this game but the Mask Bosses were the hardest for me especially the fire boss.
