Welcome to a world where all of its inhabitants live together in peace and harmony... can you guess what comes next? That's right, just like in our world, this apparently can't last. When a guy named Mr. Dark steals something called the great protoon, all stability disappears, causing the world to erupt into chaos. To make things worse, the electoons that orbit around the protoon scatter all over the world and are captured by these hostile and very odd(and funny) creatures. What now? No arms, no legs, no problem! Rayman to the rescue! You play as the limbless hero through 1 to 2 dozen levels(they say 70 but that's only if you divide each level into sections, which if you go past the first all have to be completed in order to save) through 6 environments all full of platforming through hazards, cages of electoons to save, and enemies, some of which are predictable, some are tricky and all are strange, as well as creative, interesting and unique. You can backtrack to earlier levels if you want, and you'll have to to complete the game entirely since the powers you need are in later levels. These powers will be gained by meeting betilla the fairy who will give them to you as she gradually recovers from her defeat by Mr. Dark when she tried to stop him. You'll be able to do things like throw your fist, use your hair as a helicopter or swing on flying rings. Gamers looking for a fairly challenging and unique experience won't be disappointed, and I'm only halfway through. Even casual gamers like my electronically challenged mom may enjoy it(though she hasn't gotten very far ^_^) It has some nice 2d graphics with colorful backgrounds and great animation. It has some upbeat music that's actually good just to listen to seperately. Because of this its too bad that for some reason my cd isn't playing the music with the game. On that note I'll mention that for the most part there haven't been any technical problems. Just be careful when crawling through small spaces because apparently you can't backtrack, and if you try the controls lock up and you won't be able to move, forcing you to restart the level! But besides that this is a great game. Infact it's a classic, and I highly reccommend it. Plus it was only 10 bucks when I bought it so check it out!
OK, out of all the classic Rayman games out there, this one by far takes the cake! It's kinda comical about a main character who's arms, legs, and heads are unattached, and he can use his ears as a helicopter to fly! Thi... Read Full Review
Rayman is like every good platform game, while it also includes excellent sound and a very interesting script. Rayman must travel through six different worlds, in order to restore peace to his world. It is very nice t... Read Full Review
