    By and large, Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is a very nice bundle if you loved the original Rayman and would like a nice, concise package of its history. You are effectively only getting mostly slightly remixed versions of the same game, so it depends on whether the price tag is worth it for essentially one platformer. The lack of the original soundtrack is probably the big blemish on the collection, but it's still a solid package for those who want to see where the weird, limbless hero began his adventures.

    An excellent platformer that was one of the most important titles in the early days of PlayStation, beautifully presented here. With tons of interesting additional content, this is an essential purchase for fans of the original. Hopefully in the future, whatever is holding back the faithfully recreated soundtrack will be resolved.

    Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition is the perfect way to play a classic game in all its forms. While the PlayStation version has seen the most love and is the ideal way to play, it's great to have so many different releases represented. There's a good amount of bells and whistles to round out the collection too, and to take a break with when you get frustrated by the overwhelming difficulty.

    The Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition left us with a bittersweet feeling, though more sweet than bitter. On the one hand, the documentary offers a much closer look at its creation, development, and release, and the story behind these points is truly fascinating. We also appreciate the previously unseen documents. As a bonus, it helps explain the changes and what was included in the collection.

    Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition does Ubisoft’s old mascot proud. It is one of the most complete packages for those who want to revisit Rayman’s history. It includes five versions of the original title, extra levels, and a prototype. There is plenty of gameplay and even more time to spend with the character, especially if you watch the history documentary. It is a little strange, however, that Ubisoft didn’t include the complete original soundtrack for this game. On the plus side, though, a whole new generation can now discover Rayman and hopefully inspire a new release… For now, though, let’s keep our fingers crossed and enjoy our trip down memory lane.
