Following the chart-topping success of Rayman 2 on Dreamcast, Nintendo 64 and PC CD-ROM, Ubi Soft is now releasing a brand new version of the fantastic epic action game Rayman Revolution for Sony PlayStation 2. Due for nation-wide release in November 2000, the game is already being tipped to be a chart topper. This undeniably addictive sequel to the original 6 million selling 2D side-scrolling platformer has ingeniously made the transition into a 3D superhero for the 21st century.

Rayman Revolution comprises a unique blend of blinding, fast-paced action and dazzling visual displays. Dramatic cinematic sequences, vast panoramas and new approaches to lighting and shading all succeed in adding richness and visual excitement to the game. Featuring the uncompromising hero who made his magical debut in 1995 (on PlayStation), Rayman Revolution delivers an unprecedented 3D performance guaranteed to set new standards of challenge in the action arena.

For those already familiar with the cheeky hero, Rayman Revolution propels the game to a new level of state-of-the-art non-stop action, thrills and downright hilarious spills. Voted 1999 platformer of the year (Gamespot), PlayStation 2 owners will be able to experience the sheer quality of fast-paced, varied gameplay that is the core of Rayman games. Graphically, this takes a significant step forward, displaying distinctly beautiful and luscious visuals that give the game the humour, instant appeal, believability and the quality of an action-packed animated movie.

Rayman Revolution now offers many additional features: the graphics have been ingeniously enhanced by adding ultra high resolution textures. Extra in-game detail and atmosphere is provided by new characters and enemies; added special effects; re-worked menus and cinematic sequences, with an all round guarantee of fast, smooth gameplay.

"Everyone on the team has been totally committed to creating a truly epic action-adventure unfolding in a natural, wondrous setting," says Michel Ancel, the creator for both Rayman 2 and the original Rayman. The technical team was able to achieve this complicated feat by maintaining intense-speed and complex action game play while simultaneously delivering cutting-edge lighting and 3D modelling techniques.
