Rayman 2: The Great Escape is the sequel to Rayman, brought to several video game platforms including the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. Developed and published by Ubisoft, it was the first 3D Rayman game, and follows Rayman as he liberates all his friends from a gang of evil pirates.

Plot
The Glade of Dreams was at peace until a band of evil robot pirates, led by the extremely evil Admiral Razorbeard, take over Rayman's world, and to make things worse, smash the Heart of the World into 1000 pieces (Yellow Lums)!! Rayman is captured, too, and thrown in a cell on the Pirate Prison Ship. Globox, Rayman's best friend, is sent by Ly the Fairy to get captured and give Rayman a silver Lum that regenerates his fist. Afterwards, Rayman is able to shoot glowing orbs from his fist that attacks enemies. Globox gives Rayman more Lums along the way to make his fist stronger. Rayman can also obtain a golden fist that doubles the power of his fist.
Rayman sets out to collect the 1000 Lums, and retrieve the 4 Masks of Polokus, to awaken him so that he can help Rayman save the Glade of Dreams and defeat Razorbeard.
Dreamcast Version Compared to PC/N64/PS1
The Dreamcast version of Rayman 2 boasts smooth 60 FPS gameplay with no hiccups and a 1-4 Player multiplayer mode. The game also features an Internet section (typical to many Dreamcast games) where the player can visit the Rayman 2 website.
This version of Rayman 2 was the base version of Rayman 3D for the Nintendo 3DS.
The Dreamcast version also features the Globox Village as well as Glob Crystals that can be collected for bonus mini games.
