Rayman 2 - The Great Escape (Dreamcast) price, value & rarity
The NTSC release of Rayman 2 The Great Escape is the US version of the Dreamcast port via Ubisoft. Collector focus on first pressings without the Sega All Stars band.
Is Rayman 2 - The Great Escape still worth playing in 2026?
A 3D platformer by Ubisoft, Rayman 2 remains an absolute reference of its genre. The Dreamcast version enjoys a higher resolution and several technical improvements over the original. The dreamlike art direction, the perfect pacing of the levels and the sheer design quality make it a timeless title. The controls have aged slightly, but the experience stays enchanting and still embodies the golden age of European 3D platforming. A simple recommendation to make even today for newcomers.
