Jaguar

Rayman

The lush stages are works of art, bursting with color and teeming with life. Likewise, the music is upbeat and fun. Like Super Mario Brothers, there's a map screen that allows you to choose your stage and revisit old ones, and you can save your place between stages. Fun and highly replayable, Rayman is easily one of the best Jaguar titles.

Though Rayman is still a 2D platformer (and a difficult one at that), it's still an enjoyable romp through a magical cartoon world, and offers a significant challenge through a number of well thought-out gameplay events. If you can find this one on the cheap, pick it up.

Rayman is a great game, simple as that. It might not be greatly innovative, but it is a fine example of a time-honored formula taken to near perfection. Even now, in the 21st century, the addictive gameplay, vibrant graphics and rich level design make this a fun title to play. This is by far the best platformer on the Jaguar so unless you already have it on another system, get it now!

Ray - the savior of the Jag! While it's clearly inferior compared to the music masterpiece that is the PS version, this is definitely the best Jag game yet. I adore the characters, I got tripped out by the theme, I can't get enough of the graphics and the technique few on me the farther I progressed. My only complaints are that the game moves a tad slow-paced sometimes and the play mechanics aren't as well-crafted as say a Super Mario World...but I really am picking nits. Rayman is the man!

When I first saw this game, I thought it was a contender to be a selling point for the platform... but since the Saturn and PlayStation versions have come out, there really isn't any point in this one since the others are far better looking and sounding. If all you have is a Jaguar, I would have to say that this is probably the best platform game for the system. Graphics are clean and well done. Sound is good, and I really enjoyed the music. Play control is pretty good as well. A good game for a system that could have been much more.

Although his puppet-like image leaves something to be desired for older gamers, Rayman is good platform fun - a ray of sunshine for Jaguar owners.

Rayman is a cool idea, but it doesn't translate all that well to the Jaguar. Rayman's may colors and smooth animations are a nice thing you don't see every day on the Jaguar. My only real gripe about the Jag version of Rayman is the control. It's slow and you're bound to make mistakes. Perhaps it would be better with another controller, but to me it just got frustrating. Rayman has many unique concepts and it looks like a cartoon. If you bought a Jag, go for it.

Overall Rayman is a good title. The graphics are sharp and colorful and the game plays well. Despite it’s cute appearance, this game is not for casual gamers. The difficulty level is a bit unforgiving at times, but can be overcome with cheat codes. The game is massive, and can’t be beat in an afternoon. For Jaguar fans looking for a good platformer, Rayman can’t be beat. Recommended.
