    Rayman gone multiplayer. Never saw it coming. Well it's not a half bad game, with elements of racing, and battling, a overall decent game if you have the multitap for 4 people. Just one thing, Graphics are terrible but if your straightforward game play, get this one.

    One of the best, underrated PS2 Party games with a wide variety of levels ranging from fighting to racing, alongside a stunning and relevant soundtrack that strongly benefits the game. A must have for any Rayman fan and PS2 owner!

    While I personally like the GameCube version a little more, this one is fun to play as well. The only reason I like the GC version better is because this one only goes up to 2 players instead of 4. This one feels more like an upgraded version of Rayman Rush, but that's ok.

    Known as Rayman M in Europe because arena is way too aggressive.
    One of the funnest video games featuring a frog and robot pirates. The variety of modes and steady increase in difficulty as you play through the single player mode give this game oodles of replayability.

    Honestly, I didn't think a multiplayer-oriented Rayman game would work... but Rayman Arena is fun. Its so, so, so much fun. It's genuinely one of my favorite games in the series, the level variety and replayability is masterclass.

    It's too bad that only about half of Rayman Arena is fun to play. [August 2002, p.65]

    As a multiplayer game, though, the fun doesn't last as long as it should. [July 2002, p.76]

    It's not the kind of party game that lasts well beyond the immediate draw. [June 2002, p.63]
