Rayman 2. If that rings a bell, then you must have remembered the game that was released for the Nintendo 64, the Sega Dreamcast, the PC, and the Playstation. That game was known as one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time. Some of you, however, may recall the Game Boy Color game of the same name. Is it a good game? Well, let me tell you.

Rayman 2, of course, is a 3D platformer, right? So how does that translate to the Game Boy Color? Ubisoft reimagines the game as a 2D platformer, and builds it off of the first Rayman game, also released on Game Boy Color (But it was originally for Playstation, Atari Jaguar, and PC).

Given that statement, Rayman 2 looks and plays like its predecessor, and that isn't a bad thing. That means Rayman can still throw his fists at enemies, and he can still bust cages open and fly with his hair for a short period of time.

However, it is set in the same storyline and setting as the console and computer game. The levels are also based on the original's huge levels, in which there's a lot to explore in most cases. While most of the levels are big, though, it's quite obvious that the game itself isn't as big as the N64/SD/PC/PS1 game. I mean, it IS a Game Boy (Color) game.

Sometimes, there isn't really a challenge in the levels, because you may not find a lot of enemies. Fortunately, as some games do so, the game does indeed get harder as you progress through. Soon, you'll encounter spikes, more enemies, and tricky pathways.

The entire game is just a lot of fun, and I recommend you to purchase it.

Here's a riddle:

The Clock People work all day and all night, to keep the tower turning, running. Yellow faded glasses strapped to their heads with leather bands, dirty overalls, dirty jackets, all brown with dust. They hammer and pound pins into cogs to keep the time from stopping. The clocks face glows, illuminates the town beneath it, but it's dark as night on the inside; dark and dusty. The Clock People have lanterns.
