After a critically acclaimed outing on Nintendo 64, do you think Ubi Soft would let their charismatic champion take a breather? Not with Mr. Dark on caging up a gang of Rayman's closest pals. It's up to you to help Rayman rescue his friends in a beautiful platformer that lives up to the high standards set by Rayman 2 for N64.
Even though Rayman isn't blessed with arms or legs, his animation is excellent. Our hero runs, jumps and climbs through beautiful environments with fluid motion. As Rayman works his way through the game's 30 stages, he travels through a wide variety of colorful settings.
The action in Rayman is solid platform fare, with both vertically and horizontally scrolling stages. The play control is precise, but you'll likely lose quite a few lives trying to overcome the wicked challenges that Ubi Soft has created.
When the game begins, Rayman is able to use his patented Fist-Throw to eliminate enemies and punch platforms into motion. As he completes stages, he earns new powers like Helico Magic and a grappling ability. To completely conquer the game, players must backtrack and re-explore early levels with a powered-up Rayman.
Backed by a password save feature, Rayman is a challenging game that builds on the glowing reputation of Ubi Soft's growing franchise.
Rayman is compatible only with Game Boy Color.

Six utterly surreal worlds await in Rayman's psychedelic adventure.
How good do GBA games look? Just ask Rayman.
Ubi Soft's limbless hero is strutting onto Game Boy Advance, ready to rescue Electoons and dressed to kill. By far, Rayman Advance is one of the most drop-dead gorgeous games we've ever seen on a portable system.
A faithful port of the original PSX game, Rayman Advance is a side-scrolling platformer based in the eye-poppingly psychedelic Rayman universe. Rayman's mission is to run, slide and swing through six utterly surreal worlds, collecting magical powers and ultimately thwarting the evil plans of Mr. Dark.
In addition to Rayman's main mission, he's also faced with extra challenges like collecting Blue Tings scattered throughout every stage. Despite Rayman's jovial demeanor, his quest is far from a cake walk. Even experienced gamers will be challenged by nasty bosses and perplexing puzzles, but the difficulty level rises gradually and never reaches the realm of impossibility.
As a Game Boy Advance launch title, Rayman Advance provides an awesome example of what GBA can do. Ubi Soft has set the bar very high for Game Boy Advance graphics and gameplay, which is great news for gamers.

Rayman is a platformer with a difference. It may look all cutesy-pie, but it's one of the toughest, most innovative games around. The graphics are super, full of colour (around 65,000 of them, approximately) and unflinching attention to detail, and the 250 digitised sound effects complement the look wonderfully.
Gameplay is a joy, and with each power Rayman earns in his quest, new areas of the game - places you may have already visited but been unable to complete - are opened up, making for an incredibly long lifespan.
Still wowing audiences old and new, Rayman is an essential purchase for all PlayStation owners who want a long-lasting platform challenge. Rayman is a game that grows on you the more it is played.
