Rayman 2 is a solid platform game with awesome, graphics, sounds, music, and gameplay. While it is not perfect, I think it is a much better platform game for dreamcast than the irritating Sonic Adventure. The plot is decent, and unlike Sonic Adventure and its obnoxiously awful "adventure mode," you can just get to the next level instead of wandering around aimlessly or watching incredibly bad cut scenes in which nothing happens. When you first play, the graphics will mesmerize you. The even run at a silky-smooth 60 frames per second, and the worlds are incredibly cool-looking and surreal. Whether you are foot-skiing through swamps or descending into a lava zone, the graphics will always catch your eye. The sound is excellent too. All the characters have an amusing babble that's always funny to listen to, and the music is top- notch (especially in the bayou). The gameplay is also fun, if a bit linear. It is always fun to explore the big levels and fight enemies with the game's easy controls.
