Gameplay The game puts you in control of one of the greatest videogame mascot characters that has ever been thought up, Rayman. Little Ray is an odd little creature that doesn't have any legs, arms or even a neck. His head, two hands and two feet are magically attached to his body via some sort of unexplainable invisible force. His character design is insanely original and this originality and level of creativeness goes well beyond just the design of the character. At the game's onset, Rayman can perform a variety of simple including running, jumping, strafing, hanging onto ledges, climbing between walls, and use his ears like a helicopter to float in the air. However, unlike the other versions of the game where he had even more skills at the start of the quest, the PS2 incarnation of Rayman is a bit limited in his ability range in the beginning.

And not only are there a lot of different level types, but the play mechanics implemented are also quite innovative at times. Levels will have Rayman carrying barrels from one spot to another and require him to do things like throw the barrel straight up in the air so he can shoot some enemies and then catch it before it hits the ground.

Graphics Considering that wasn't programmed specifically for the PlayStation 2 platform, as Criterion's RenderWare 2 was apparently used to help port the game over, it looks surprisingly good.
