    This game is brilliant! Its a solid platformer and is a great showcase for the 3DS 3D effects. I picked it up at launch with my 3DS and is definatly the best game to get!

    This game is amazing! Its a lot like crash bandicoot and if you didn't play this game the first time around you should get it! Even if you have played it before it is still amazing for the 3D effects!

    Not much to say beyond this is the same Rayman 2 we all know and love. Personally i believe it has aged far better than the likes of Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie, but I suppose that is merely my own opinion. Whether it is the definitive version of Rayman 2 is debatable.

With graphics on par with Rayman Revolution on the PS2 minus the new features Revolution added. It is up to you whether you prefer more features or the ability to play Rayman 2 in what is an adequate use of 3D. All in all this is easily still my favorite platformer from 3 generations ago and it has aged a lot better than some critics may think.… Expand

    This game is a fun platformer and a great introduction to the 3D capabilitiesof the 3DS. I picked it up on launch day along with my 3DS and haven't completed it yet but up to now its awesome. :D

    This is a wonderful game, one of the best 3d platformers of all time. In my opinion the 3D is well done and adds a lot to the experience (it gives you a better perception of space).
    However there are a few problems in this port: the sound isn't mixed well (remember to put down the music volume in the options) and at times the framerate is not as high as it should be, but nothing to worry    This is a wonderful game, one of the best 3d platformers of all time.

    Rayman 2 might be almost 17 years old, and yet there's not a single 3D platformer on the 3DS that can top it. Lush, colorful visuals create one of the most unique and interesting worlds you'll ever see in a video game. Gameplay is pure platforming/action-adventure bliss at its finest.

The camera is a little wonky at times and the controls take a little getting used to, but it hardly takes away from the enjoyment I had with this game. Just remind yourself that you're getting a straight-port of Rayman 2: The Great Escape from the Dreamcast, not a major 3D overhaul like StarFox 64 3D. This is an incredible game, still one of the best platformers ever created, and now happily available on the go.… Expand

    If you own or have played Rayman: The Great Escape, don't bother checking this one out; it's basically a port of the N64 classic. Charming characters and a neat story make this a nice way to introduce players to the Rayman series if they don't own an N64 or Dreamcast.

    I like this game but that's because I used to be addicted to Rayman 2: The Great Escape for the computer.
    It feels weird to suddenly play it on the console though. I don't like the 3D, not much effort into it but I'll still give it a 9/10 because it's the best game of the Rayman series. I hate the Rayman Legends, it looks so bad.

    Un juego muy divertido que en el cual vas a pasar horas jugando, solo creo que la camara a veces no es la mejor

    While this game may be a remake that was not needed I do think it didn't deserve this hate,
    This was my first experience in the rayman series and since finishing it a couple years ago I've been a big rayman fan. This reboot is still a good game where I have almost 30 hours in.
    Wouldn't suggest buying it today if you have the ps1 but if you only have a 3ds an just want a good rayman game,    While this game may be a remake that was not needed I do think it didn't deserve this hate,

    A lack of true performance tweaking and additions makes this a rather hard sell on the 3DS, but it's certainly not the worst version of the game out there.

    Overall, Rayman 3D is a competent platformer but it's sinfully old. Rather than sprucing it up and developing a truly great re-release, Ubisoft was happy to repackage ancient materials and ship them as new content. If you've played the game already there is very little reason to redo it on the Nintendo 3DS. If you haven't played the original, it's likely too old to be worth your time. However, if playing tragically outdated platformers with more back story than you'll know what to do with is what you're after, Rayman 3DS is your game.

    Rayman 3D is still an enjoyable, but short platformer. Nevertheless, you don't really recognize changes to prior Rayman games and the 3DS support.
