    You've got to admit Rayman is incredibly cool, but no measure of awesomeness can cover up troublesome controls, average visuals and mediocre gameplay.

    With a little more foresight into the viewpoint, things could have become infinitely more playable and turned out to be a far more rewarding experience.

    Certainly, the lack of interactive environmental features combined with the expansiveness of the game's levels could lead to burnout after a while.
  4. GamePro

    While replaying completed levels to raise scores and collect more lums will unlock secret areas, the core simplicity of the gameplay may not tempt many players to romp again where they have romped before.

    Simply put, it has no hook. It offers nothing of interest to an even semi-seasoned gamer. It's as dull a foray into platforming as you'll find on your local store's shelves, and another unfortunate example of this license being diluted.

    It's Nothing Special, But If Your'e Bored, This Is A Good Little Fun Time Waster.

Tiene losSiendo el primer Rayman que juego no tengo forma de compararlo con los clásicos en 2D, pero este me ha parecido un juego decente. Tiene los típicos problemas de la perspectiva isómetrica, como hacer alguno saltos a ciegas y morir mas de una vez por no llegar a donde pretendías, pero más allá de eso no tiene grandes problemas, aunque tampoco grandes virtudes. Graficamente es bonito, la música está bien y el control es bueno. Algo corto, pero tampoco esperaba más. Un juego decente sin más.… Expand

    Although a platform game with a bird's eye view is very innovative, the view is tilted, which means you will not be able to distinguish the height when jumping and you will die hundreds of times. The way to attack is very imprecise and killing enemies is a matter of luck and mashing buttons. It's impressive that I did not give it less rating considering that it is almost UNPLAYABLE, maybe because of how big the map is and to be able to see it. That is pretty good.    … Expand
