Which version of Rayman 2 The Great Escape should I do?

[Ikagura Ikagura]

Revolution is apparently flawed and the N64 version was apparently hard to emulate and not accurate.

I am pondering to buy it on GoG soon.

I think the Sega Dreamcast and PC versions are the best versions and at the same time the best ways to play the game.

Such an awesome game. The DC port is excellent.

I played it on the dreamcast and it was pretty good

 

[Stare best girl]

Dreamcast that even Michel Ancel himself considers as the best version

 

[Miles Miles]

The Dreamcast version seems to be the best.

 

[sneakyguts]

3DS

Which Dreamcast Emulator is the best suited? I'm using ReDream for PSO and Sonic games.


Anyway, I ended up buying Rayman 2 on GoG since it's in sales (as well as Rayman 1 Forever).

I dislike that on Steam they're forcing you to download and use Uplay...

The Dreamcast version, like everyone else said. It's gorgeous.

Dreamcast is the closest version to the PC.

 

[ThunderBoy]

PC and Dreamcast are the bests versions

 

[Uitsualnemetia]

The Dreamcast version is, essentially, the Windows version with better graphics. You can't go wrong with either, though. Also, if you like the game, you can try Revolution later on. I'd say it's not as good as the original, but it's an interesting take on it.

Rayman 2 Revolution isn't that bad, and I think it's much better than the PS1, DS, and 3DS versions. However, it does have some flaws. Overall, the Dreamcast version is the best version of the game.

I recommend you download Flycast, it's by far the best Dreamcast emulator.

3ds version can be played better with a hacked new 3ds.

3ds version can be played better with a hacked new 3ds.

Wow, I didn't know that! Cool!

 

[Uitsualnemetia]

3ds version can be played better with a hacked new 3ds.

You can play it at 60 fps by enabling the extra power of the N3DS, but that version still has many glitches. Not a version I would recommend, aside from the novelty of seeing the game in 3D.

Wanted to suggest PSX since i played the heck out of it as a kid, however after playing the GOG version i realized that maybe i got rosy retrospective on it

That said, i may give a shot to DC since people here has suggested it a lot

 

[Frickinfrik]

The PS2 Version. I think it’s the most complete of all the versions.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

The GoG release with Rayman Control Panel and Ray2Fix is a must just for widescreen, a proper windowed support and pad control.


I'm surprised GoG didn't negotiate to have it by default.

 

[SeeroftheNight]

I grew up with the Dreamcast version and recently played through the GOG version (with Ray2Fix). The Dreamcast version is essentially on par with the PC version aside from the fact that it has some more content (such as the Globox village, and an extended ending cutscene). Overall I'd say you can't go wrong with either but Dreamcast is definitely the definitive version out of the box.

I'm hoping one day there's a patch for the GOG version that adds the Dreamcast extras.

PC, it has the original stage selection which is imo the best one, but with better resolution compared to N64. DC is okay, but sometimes I feel timing and hitboxes are a bit weird, like the swamp level feels 10x harder than it should. I also hate the crash style stage selection, very soulless. And the extras are just meh. PS2 is just overall filled of awful decisions.

 

[JoeySmash]

like others have said PC & DC are the best. I don't like the PS2 version as the new additions kinda suck and the redone graphics are very poor, they look like they're melting.. oh & it runs poorly too. though the fact it released in December 2000 makes me believe it may have been rushed.
