| SeriousWB said: 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. |
I would agree that the original Rayman was somewhat original, clever, and did have a pretty decent art style. I can't remember for certain, but I believe I played it on my Saturn and not my PSone since I was a rabid Saturn fan (panzer and original VF FTW!) around that time... It was "cute" at first and graphically pleasing at the time, but it just got old for me after a handful of hours playing it. Frankly, I enjoyed the Earthworm Jim platformer that came before it more than Rayman but, that too got old fast for me. Rayman most certainly went downhill fast with later versions, but I did own the very first one. It just isn't a game that stands out in my opinion from other platformers "in the day". It has been far too long to nitpick as I just don't remember anything beyond swinging, jumping, running, etc., lol.
