Rayman 2: The Great Escape iPhone app – Best Apps Review
Description:
Finally, Rayman has made his way to the top of quality iPhone apps! You can enjoy and relive all of the action and adventure of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, all from the convenience of your iPhone. The game has been entirely rendered in 3D and boasts some impressive graphics as well as interactive environments and gameplay.
Rayman, the armless hero, rides waves of lava, climbs huge waterfalls, takes a seat on flying rockets, and even infiltrates pirate headquarters in order to seal his road to victory. There is never a dull moment in this iPhone app, and you will be amused by the different story lines and quests that are available along the way. You will find yourself bouncing around 45 different 3D environments that are all very specific and unique. This is the first time this has been done in iPhone apps that are platform based.
The whole adventure is very fast paced and requires you to think quickly and react to your surroundings. As you beat levels you can always go back and find the hidden lums in order to prolong your Rayman experience. This game will likely take you dozens of hours if you complete all of the small missions along the way.
Stop sitting around and start your journey through dangerous environments to help Rayman stop the cruel pirates that have enslaved his friends in the Glades of Dreams. Help Rayman free his friends and use their magical talents to destroy the pirates and gather all four of the different masks of Polokus!
Features:
- Incredible 3D graphics that stay true to the nature of the franchise
- 45 different environments, all in 3D
- Environments include pirate lairs, huge waterfalls, and deep sea caves
- There are a few different types of gameplay to choose from including ground, air, and water levels
- Can use the virtual stick to control the character
- Over 1,000 hidden lums to collect throughout the game
Conclusion:
The game stays true to the nature of the franchise as it puts Rayman in interactive environments that are always changing and keeping the storyline interesting. The 3D graphics are well used and the gameplay is solid. There are enough mini-quests to keep you busy for quite a few hours but once you have beat the game it becomes less appealing to go back and find the hidden lums. As far as an action/adventure game is concerned, it is one of the best of the iPhone apps out there. Worth the seven bucks, especially if you are already a fan of the Rayman franchise.
Voted 4 stars by iPhone app users and runs for around $6.99.
