Which Rayman game(s) are you talking about here? Rayman 1 was so far away from being a rehash of anything it's not even funny. A lot of original and non repeating scenaries. Rayman 2 was the same to a lesser extent though, and was my second favourite N64 platformer (to Mario64). I agree with you about the others though, I always compared them to Mario64 as they played in a similar way, but Rayman just feels very different.
I've steered clear of the franchise since Rayman 2 since I don't like the direction they are going in.
