Fantastic game, from the opening scene we are reminded of the classic Rayman game from the PS1 from over 15 years ago, and the gameplay represents it too. The story line goes back to the roots (which you will notice when you play through the game!) with a few returning characters into the mix. Playing through the game also unlocks other playable characters from past games in the series. The trophy list takes time to complete as playing the levels at least once more each takes a lot of time in itself! The multiplayer option is a welcome addition to the franchise and works very well, adding more fun with four players!
One problem of the game is that the music is extremely repetitive... to the point where it becomes embedded in your head after about 30 seconds of playing, almost to the point of wanting to rip the speakers off the TV! But the gameplay more than makes up for this, with all of the levels you have to complete and the ruby teeth you have to collect... beware though, in order to collect all of these teeth you should have at least an hour spare and a mind of steel! Maybe put the TV on mute...
With the music being the only real downside, if you must call it that, this really is a super fun game that would keep you busy for a fair few hours! Reminds me of playing my PS1 when I was a kid, and I'm sure it'll do the same for you...

Review summary

for the review "Rayman - how it should have been for the past 15 years!"
All in all this is a fantastic game, with many hours of gameplay and a fantastic story. Not many sidescrolling platformers are actually this good... especially in today's gaming world.
