Storyline

Not long after Polokus the god and spirit of a newly created planet. An army of Robo-Pirates led by Admiral Razorbeard taking over and enslave the planet, holding the captured inhabitants in the pirates' prison ship, "The Buccaneer"! Eventually, Rayman and his friends are captured, but with some help from his best friend Globox they escape, but get separated in the process. As he progresses along in search of help from Ly the Fairy, he learns that the pirates have broken the Heart of the World, the world's core, into 1000 lums that have then been scattered all over the planet, weakening the world as a result. It's all up to Rayman and whatever help he can get to collect these lums but more importantly, retrieve the 4 legendary Masks that are said to awaken the Great Polokus, the planet's greatest hope to exterminate the Robo-Pirates and once again liberate the world.

Quotes

[first lines]
Ly the Fairy: Rayman, look what the Pirates have done to our world... A planet of anguish and pain, haunted by evil. A dark place, teeming with fierce monsters. Nothing can stop them, now that they've captured you. They've taken everything and reduced our people to slaves. The Robots search for innocent prey. In the chaos they exploded the Heart of the World. The 1000 lums of energy which form it have been scattered. We are getting weak. Soon it will be to late... You must escape Rayman. You are...

The Best Game Ever Made!

Rayman 2: The Great Escape is by far the best game I have ever played. It is endlessly enjoyable, I have completed it hundreds of times, and never does repeating a well worn level get the slightest bit boring, however much you play it! All the characters and their designs are breathtakingly immaculate, the voices are incredible and hilarious, the story simple but works wonderfully, the artistic design is superb, the game play challenging, the level design beyond compare, the music awesomely memorable, simply everything about this game is perfection, I challenge anyone to play this game and not love it instantly! It makes you laugh, thrilled, and just incredibly is the best! Wahay! I can't praise this game enough. Infinity out of 10! (Super congratulations to all involved in making this game, and thank you so much for doing so!)
