Rayman Advance is an amazing game for gba. Gameplay can be very difficult at times ( a good thing) and it takes a considereable amount of time to beat it. Stunning graphics are placed throughout the game and make it a lot more enjoyable. Plus, you get fun powers, bosses that aren't THAT hard, puzzles, mini games, and a great ending. To note on the ending, unlike many reviews, you CAN defeat the main boss. The VERY last level is challenging and loads of fun!!!! i reccomend this game to anyone!!!!!!!! IT IS WORTH BUYING!

cute

Rayman Advance is exactly like the first one for the Playstation. The only thing different is that it has 10 fewer levels than the original, but it's no big deal, this game still has 60 levels. I must say that Rayman is one of the most colorful games I've ever seen. It also has the old school side-scrolling platform-type gameplay. This game will probably never get old to me, there is always something new to discover. This is one of the reasons why you should own a GBA.

Despite it's age, still a fine platform game!

Despite the age of this games' original version on PlayStation this is still a very entertaining platform game. Of course it has some significant issues which I will now talk about.

This game, first of all, is not easy. There are many places during the course of the game where you may get frustrated with the difficulty of the level. It's not that it's hard to figure out what to do to finish the level, it's that it's difficult accomplishing what is obviously necessary to advance through the level. While the levels can be tough to get through, practice and memorizing will get you through eventually.

A second problem is the fact that extra lives are very difficult to come across, and once you get them, finish the level, and then save, there is no getting them back. This forces the player to gather 100 Tings in order to get extra lives if you can't locate the actual extra lives. Another problem is the fact that I don't think there is any way to get continues back after you have used them.

This game is also pretty short. While it very attractive visually, this means that there was less room available to make lots of levels (at least that is my own theory). This is not like Super Mario World where there are more than fifty (if memory serves) levels in the game. While, short, it is still challenging enough to require a considerable amount of time to complete.

All in all, this is a very good game to buy if you're into platform games. Even if you have it PlayStation, it is worth getting a portable version. Despite it problems, this is still a game that should be in every GBA collection.

... Graphics aren't everything

I got this game over 2 years ago, when it first came out. I was surprised on how BAD and CONFUSING the gameplay was. The levels were too chalenging, and it took me forever just to learn how to save my game. Also, when I found some cheats for the game, strange things happened. First of all I found they didn't help me, and Rayman was invisible. But since codes shouldn't matter on gameplay, the gameplay IS horrible. The music is OK and the graphics are fun too look at (which is why I gave this 2 stars instead of 1), but I thought the original reason for GBA games was to pretty much to keep game old game fans happy. In other words, if you are a huge fan of Mario games, or just platform games in general, this game is not worth buying. Get either the amazing classic Super Mario world or Yoshi's Island. Also check out The Crash bandicoot game which is great, it has pretty much the same graphics as this and the great gameplay of Mario games. If you are a fan of "new style" platform games or horrible gameplay, go make a mistake and pick this game up. In other words, don't make the same mistake I did.

Great Game

I bought this for my 5 yr old son. He loves this game. I play it with him, it is fairly challenging for me, but he is the gamer and does very well with it. He is wanting the rest of the Rayman additions. Great Game for hours of game play.

Big No, No

Rayman, is not very entertaining. The graphics aren't all that great either. I highly regret wasting my money on such a crapy game. The game has no solid point or goal. This game is side-scroling. However, if you like Rayman forgive me saying such bad things about this game, but I am trying to help people save their money for games that really entertain you. The game hardly gets harder as you go up in level, and the levels are horrible, they are all easy, boring, and they don't have very hard enemies. This game is definitally for gamers who don't like video games, but who have nothing better to do. If you still want this game, it may seem fun at first but adventually you will feel the same way about this game as I did.

great

What first influenced me to purchase Rayman Advance was my experience with Rayman: The Great Escape for the N64, PS2 and maybe another console (A must buy). Once in my eager hands, I immediately took it home and slammed the cartridge into the GBA. My first impression was with the graphics it boasted and its detailed, elaborate backgrounds. But, as the game progressed a small voice with the regret of purchasing this game grew louder and louder of each passing stage, death, or frustration.

With each movement the game became more repetitive, dull and bland. The stages are basically repeated over and over again except with a different layout and setting.

The music I didn't really notice, but still could be improved upon. You can't really get to expect to get great sound from the GBA's tiny, single, stereo speaker. If you have this for the SNES, plug it in and you will find the sound quality much better.

With this game, if you've read the other reviews, you either love it or you hate it. It is also focused more along the line of 8-13 year old gamers, thus not a great game for the older type. The best way to decide if you like this game is going to a local Blockbuster, or whatever rental place you know of that has GBA games for rent and renting this game (if they carry it, of course), or if you know a friend who has it.

It will save alot of time, frustration, and money if you don't like it.

A good game
