I had multiple versions, first was n64, that version itself was special for me, but I know the res was higher on things like the dreamcast and the ps2. I mean fuck, I know the textures actually got represented better on the ps1, this game was cross for all systems before the modern age of consoles. I dont think I had a stable platform for what was the best version of this game, I used to think the ps2 version was the prime, but I saw this documentary recently how the creators thought the dreamcast version was THE VERSION. They thought it was better then the pc version. You cant run the pc version without doing 2 workarounds, its broken and still sold like its not fucking requiring some kinda workaround.

Anyone with some experience with this game? It was religious for me, its a stand alone ground breaking platform for its format.

pc with ray2fix is the best if you just want stock rayman 2 in 1080p with gamepad support and button remapping

dreamcast port is widely considered to be the "definitive" version of rayman 2 as on top of arguably looking and sounding the best, it has an actual overworld hub instead of the simple level select screen and minigames in it but you have to emulate it if you dont want it to be a blurry mess and it's a bit buggy

the ps2 version is basically a remake with different graphics, modified (longer) story, more levels and english voiceacting instead of the banjo kazooie nonsense-speak that's in all the other versions

the ps2 actually has a new hub its insane, its actually got like a full playground its not just mission hill anymore, its a sorta defined. Dreamcast has a refined score for sure, also its got the best take on voice acting and n64 gibberish

but I think frame rates matter more? I cant find a review of this ps2 version thats been in circulation, any recommendations RIchard, or anyone on something that can get that hard data on ps2 emulation wise?

If you consider rayman revolutions (the ps2 one) the same game as great escape then it is probably the better version due to more content.

However, if you don't then the dreamcast version is easily better than pc and n64 versions of the same game. The nintendo DS version is the same as the pc one but without any problems and it actually plays pretty well too.

I would also feel weird not just hearing grunts and murmurs for voices but hearing actual voices too so along with nostalgia DC easily wins.

I got the ps2 rom for revolutions so can give it a go later.
