| Rayman 2: The Great Escape Demo |
| Readme for Rayman2 Demo Version ================================================================ This file will attempt to explain the basics of installing and playing Rayman 2 on the PC. Please note that this is a game still in development and there are still a number of bugs. If you have feedback or comments on this demo, please send them to: yourfeedback@rayman2.com To play the game you must have either Direct-X(tm) or Glide(tm) installed. This demo will not install them for you. ================================================================ Controls =============================================================== We recommend playing with a game pad such as the Microsoft Sidewinder (tm). However, it is possible to play with a keyboard. If you play with a keyboard, remember that all movements are relative to the camera and not to Rayman. For example, if you want to move right relative to the camera, press the right arrow button. =============================================================== Keyboard Controls for an american QWERTY keyboard =============================================================== The arrow keys are used to move in the desired direction A - to jump - also useful for skipping texts Space Bar - to fire Ctrl - the left control key - to strafe - useful in combat Shift - to walk instead of running Camera Controls 0 on the numeric keypad - look mode Left Ctrl - puts the camera behind Rayman Look mode is useful for looking around. Press 0 on the numeric keypad and hold it down, and you can then use the arrow keys to look around. Rayman has many magical powers, some of which are available in this demo. For example, if you press A to jump and then press A again, Rayman will use his hair as a helicopter. This allows him to fall much more slowly. Also, he can climb on a number of objects: rope ladders, and nets for example. When fighting pirates, be sure to use the strafe mode by pressing the Ctrl key while fighting. ============================================================ History ============================================================ Pirates have taken over Rayman's world, and they have imprisoned him and most of his friends. Rayman has escaped from the pirates, but he needs to regain his powers in order to free his friends from the pirates and their boss, the evil Razorbeard. Ly the fairy is the only one who can help him, but she too has been captured by the pirates. To free her, Rayman must battle pirates and disable the machine that has placed her in suspension. The pirates have broken the primordial energy of the world into a thousand pieces, called "lums". Rayman needs to recover these lums in order to regain his powers. Also, the red lums contain vital energy that can restore Rayman's health. ========================================================== Hints ========================================================== Many interesting things are hidden behind the bandages, but different techniques are needed in order to access the hidden passages. For example, in the beginning of the demo there is a bandage on the grass between Rayman and the pirate ship. Rayman isn't capable of breaking the seal by himself, but maybe he can get some help from a "friend". Other bandages can be broken with Rayman's fist, and still others need to be broken with barrels full of gunpowder. Rayman can pick up these barrels of gunpowder and throw them; this can be very useful. Some passages are blocked and can only be opened by finding the right switch. To open a closed passage, Rayman needs to shoot the light switch with his fist. When two walls are close enough together to form a crevice, Rayman can shimmy up between them by jumping rapidly. To jump up between two walls hit the "A" key rapidly. ======================================================== Known Bugs ======================================================== Please note that this is a demo and not the final version of the game. We are still debugging it and we know that there are still a number of bugs. Don't use the menus. If you try to change resolutions in the menus it will probably hang. Sometimes the game doesn't exit cleanly. There are a couple of problems with Voodoo based cards under different 3D APIs. We strongly recommend installing the Glide version if you have a Voodoo1 or Voodoo2 based card. If you have a Voodoo Banshee, a Voodoo Rush, or a Voodoo3 based graphics card, we recommend installing the Direct-X version. A number of 3d graphics cards have problems with the drivers. If you suspect that you are having a problem with your drivers, please contact your card vendor. We are working to correct these problems for the final version of the game. Thanks for your understanding. |
