  1. Extra mentions: They also included cross save progression and extra auto save save points to the game. Oh and a speedrun mode.

    Loved this one back in the day and now here we are, that's a decent price right there! Mark

  2. It's not quite Prime remastered, but it's so much more than the previous HD version, which I had on Xbox 360 and already loved. This is one of my favorite games of all time and I already own like three? copies of it on various consoles, and I absolutely bought it again. Plus I am planning to pick up the Limited Run physical copy when it launches. Of note, I wanted to mention that myself, and one of the other Youtube reviewers, did not have to sign up for Ubi connect or whatever it's called. Didn't even get the notification on start up. It's still there in the menu if you want it, but it doesn't attack you, and the game runs without issue even when started in airplane mode.

  3. 10 – 12 hrs not bad but i still don't get the limited run release for the physical. It's almost as if Ubisoft doesn't think it will sell so they didn't want to bother with a physical…Later

  4. Oh wow cool! Kinda forgot this one was coming. I have a weird nostalgia trip for this game that I didn't even really play all that much. It just felt.. different and I felt like I was too young to really grasp any of the themes. Will be cool to play this one.

  5. This was my absolute favorite game when i was a kid. I adored the gamestyle and loved the creative way to earn currency. I replayed it on my PC from steam not too long ago. And its still very high up on my favorite list! Its a game i always occationally will think of, and im longing for Beyond good and evil 2 which i've been waiting for since 2010 or whatever.

  6. I played this back then on GameCube. It was alright, but i really hate that fat pig's voice, and something about the art style didn’t jibe with me. I played t for a couple of hours, put it down, and never picked it back up. It was really disappointing, because Rayman 2 was one of my absolute favorites (and still is). Maybe i'll give it another shot.

  7. I bought the original game on the first XBox, but never got around to playing it. On my XBox One I got it as a monthly game as a subscriber, and still didn't play it. It was only while looking at new games on my Switch I noticed the Anniversary Edition and purchased it immediately. It's a nice price. Hopefully, this time I might actually get around to playing it!

  8. I'm just gonna stick with the original. Ubisoft pulled a Rockstar/Grove Street Games move and not only delisted the PS3 and Xbox 360 version, but also ruined the art direction and atmosphere. Also 30 FPS on Switch and separate graphics options on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S for a "remaster" of a 2003 game? Pretty bad optimization! So scared of what they'll do with Rayman and Splinter Cell remasters!
