Beautifully frustratingOct 20, 2001 Rayman has traditionally proven high quality graphics and sound, and despite some great limitations on the Game Boy Color system, Rayman still delivers the goods. This has to be one of the prettiest carts out there, and its music actually sounds half decent considering the materials it has to work with. Rayman is also one of the better side-scrolling platforms available for the system, but it doesn't come without a gripe or three. The password save makes it less convenient to pick up and play anytime you want. Later levels become very frustrating, also. Imagine having your controls reversed through an entire world or being followed in every footstop by a "dark Rayman." Games need challenge, but not to this extent. Remember, Game Boys break very easily, and Rayman does everything it can to promote that.

A REALLY fun gameJun 25, 2001 I thought Rayman was sooo fun. It had really cool grafics. Some times it was really hard though.For me Rayman never gets boring.If you dont already have it get rayman!!!!
Great Game Boy game, great graphics for GB!Feb 26, 2001 I am suprissed that this game doesn't get as much credit that it deserves. The graphics are some of the best I have seen on the Game Boy, and the game is great. If you enjoy Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, this will be a great addition to your game boy library. IT is a great platformer that should not be missed.

A Definite KeeperDec 11, 2000 I think that "Rayman" was an enjoyable game. The graphics were excellent, and it had great replay value (i.e. the time attack feature). The music was bad for a GameBoy game, but that was countered by the great gameplay. The game went by quickly, but it was fun while it lasted. This game made you go through almost all the levels over again if you really wanted that sweet 100%, but it was definitely worth it. There is also the secret attack mode, which as just as difficult, if not more, that many of the levels. "Rayman" is also a hit with violence haters, because it focused on exploring the levels, not wasting enemies. And besides, who could question the cutesy comical humor of a guy without arms or legs, who throws his fist? This game holds a definite resemblance to "Mario" and other side scrollers, but with better graphics. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Mario games. With a wide variety of level environments and tons of extras and great visuals, this classsic is a definite keeper for GameBoy owners.

Review from a 12 year old gamerNov 11, 2000 Rayman was okay. If you like games that are like Super Mario Bros., then this is for you. The graphics are great, but the music could be better. The whole point of the game is to free your friends from your arch-nemisis. But the only way that you can free them all is if you get this key in the first level and trade keys with a friend. Sure I've beaten the game, but not with the key.
