Forums - Nintendo - Rayman DSiWare Review IGN

Wait, wow. I haven't heard of a Rayman game in a long time!


6.5 Presentation
Decent, though you can tell this is a pretty direct port of the front-end menu and cinema scenes used in the earliest releases of this game from the mid-'90s. There are even a few loading times.
9.0 Graphics
Gorgeous. Rayman's animation is fluid and funny, some of the best spritework done in the mid-'90s for any platform. The colors pop here on the DSi, and the touch screen map is helpful.
8.0 Sound
Vintage Rayman tunes pump out of the DSi's speakers, and gamers who've played this one before will be amused by the intact effects work -- like the deep-voiced "Yeah!" that ends a level.
8.0 Gameplay
A great, uncomplicated platformer design that starts simply, then gives you more and more abilities over time. This game can be truly challenging at some times, though, so don't expect a cakewalk.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
There were a few special edition Rayman releases in the late '90s that added more content than what you'll find here, so this probably isn't the definitive Rayman. Still a good, long quest though.
8.0
Impressive
