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.
Too hard --

This game is intended for kids, but adults will be challenged with trying to stay alive. Graphics are great, but there are too many cliffs where if you go the wrong way you die. After going over about 10 times you just want to quit. Not recommended.
This isn't a game, it's an ordeal.

OK, amazing graphics. Let's get that out of the way.
Words simply cannot express how utterly, uselessly bad this game really is. It leaves you shaking your head in sheer disbelief - how could they have had the audacity to release this in the first place? The software company responsible for this travesty should give up making games, since they clearly have absolutely no ideas and no sense of fun...
This game breaks all records for repetitive gameplay. Everything you're going to see throughout the game is apparent in the first few seconds. It is SO dull, lifeless and boring. Unbelievably so. Wow, I'm so shocked that this game was ever released.
The music is truly horrible, irritatingly repetitive and just plain awful. It's the sort of sound that just goes straight through your head - a sickening them tune which sounds deceptively anthemic but which just ends up bolemic... Really, DON'T buy this thing, or you'll be sending game manufacturers the world over the wrong message.
Japan, we need you more than ever.

I think that Rayman is a game, just not suited for anyone who knows anything about video games or has played something like Black and White or Mario Advance.
It is sooooo E...A...S...Y, my 4 year old cousin completed it in 4 hours!
I am glad that I didn't buy it and have played it a few times at my cousin's and completed it every time.
Don't buy it is my final verdict.
I hate this game......

I couldn't even get through the first level. The graphics aren't 3-D but that's okay because the colors are awesome. I don't like the levels and the powers you can get. It seems very boring for me to go around and punch cages and weird...bad guys. The levels are really bad and it's too hard. Not a good GBA game.

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.
astonishing difficulty

Let me start by saying that Rayman Advance's graphics are amazing. They really impressed me. However... The difficulty and blind jumps border on ridiculous. If you don't have the code for unlimited continues, you won't make it past the second world. It seems like I lost 15 lives per stage, and then another 20 or so lives trying to defeat the bosses. While the difficulty improves the longevity of the game, the frustration jusn't isn't worth it. Wait till the Gameshark comes out before you pick up this title.
