Razorbeard is a pirate who captures Rayman and his friends. He leads a huge army of henchmen who are enslaving the inhabitants of Rayman's world, eventually taking Rayman himself. After Rayman and his best friend Globox escape, they track down the fairy Ly and find out that the robots have destroyed the world's core. The only way to fix the mess is to collect the Lums (the parts of the core) and find four masks that can wake up a sleeping god Pokulus, who can destroy the robots.
Rayman is not alone in the game. He is helped by the good, but sensitive Globox who has the power to perform a magic Raindance. In the final battle of Rayman 2, Rayman must fight Razorbeard, in order to free the world of the evil pirates.
Rayman 2 is a breakthough in the evolution of platforming games. Gameplay and level design of Rayman 2 is considered outstanding and original. The player is constantly faced with new challenges. The worlds are huge, giving the impression of a fairytale, magic landscape. Rayman 2 can duck, float, fly, jump, strafe, and shoot in order to defeat Razorbeard and his Henchmen.
