Rayman 2 [2D version - Unreleased]

Very early into the development of Rayman 2, it was a 2-D game for the PlayStation. This was later scrapped for the 3D game that Rayman 2 became. Pictures of the 2D version and concept art (a green villain with a chainsaw) and mentions of powers such as the platform fist were published in gaming magazines such as EGM. – [info from Wikipedia]
Update: It seems that a playable demo of this 2D prototype can be unlocked as a bonus level in the Playstation 1 version of Rayman 2.
Thanks to Fast Ash and Adamis Fox for the contribution!

This is how Rayman should have been and should have stayed.

I’m not sure how to unlock it, try this:
Get 90% or more lumz, then beat the game and let the credits finish.

I wish they released that game, it seemed to be great!
If you search in youtube Rayman 1-2 project you can find some information about a fan game being developed based on this canceled version

Do you really think Rayman 2 would be better this way?! How?! The system used here is almost the same as the system used in Rayman 1. No action, nothing impressive or new. Rayman 2 is one of the best games ever!

I have played every rayman game invented! My fav is rayman 3 or rayman designer. I think that they should have released this as a rayman 1 add on pack and keep the rayman 2 we have now.
P.S. I downloaded rayman 2 for PSP but it doesn’t have a license file and when I try to play it, it says: The copyright protection information is invalid. Does anyone know how to fix this?
