Rayman 2: The Great Escape

Rating:
Summary: Great gameplay, but lousy structure
Review: This is a great game on many levels - but has a terrible structure for all but the most hardcore of time-losing gamers. The big problem with this game is that you can only save at the end of levels - and some are massive. So your only options are to either play through the entire level (some take hours), or quit part of the way through and start over at a later date. If you don't have lots of time to dedicate to this game, then you should steer clear. The sanctuary of lava, for example, requires at least 2 hours to clear properly - and remember NO SAVING! It's too bad that such a wonderful game has such a fatal flaw.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is such a great game. The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. The sound is lovely. The puzzles are perfectly solvable, but challenging. There is some arcade, some adventure, some action. The levels are well designed. My only problem is that the controls are somewhat difficult. Still worthy of 5 stars, though.
