It's hard to deny that Super Mario Bros. started a new era in platform gaming, but there was no successor that better embodied Super Mario's groundbreaking ideas than Rayman 2: The Great Escape. With its enchanted storybook look beautifully translated into 3D, lush, vibrant colors, funny enemy designs, and clever jumping puzzles, Rayman 2 is platforming perfection. Michel Ancel's platformer shines the brightest on Dreamcast, but every version is a charm. No arms, no legs, no problem for the little French creation that could.
