Is Rayman DS worth getting?

If not what are some other good 3d platformers on the DS other than Super Mario 64 DS?

I've heard that Rayman DS is a pretty terrible port of Rayman 2. I've considered getting it myself, but I think it's a better idea to skip it entirely.

Other than that, it's pretty slim pickings for 3D platformers on the DS. The only games I have in my collection that are remotely comparable are Phantom Hourglass and Ninja Gaiden. :P

I think there's a Tomb Raider game or two, though. I seem to recall that it/they didn't turn out too badly . . .

It's not a port. It's a great game and infact it was my first nintendo DS game. Good graphics, good gameplay.

Not a port? Well, I'll let IGN do the arguing for me:

"For the launch of the Nintendo DS platformer, Ubisoft is, once again, ready with a Rayman title, this time a conversion of its immensely successful Rayman 2 console design"

And what the heck; we're on GameSpot, so let's hear what they have to say about it, huh?

"Rayman DS is a port of the N64 version of Rayman 2, which was a great game. Unfortunately, the DS game is full of frustrating graphical and camera problems."

On one hand I've got two *reasonably* respected game mags calling the game a "port," but on the other hand you're really smart and you say that it's not...

I'm so confused! :(

wow. that was a pretty epic pwning you just dished out. :lol:

It was a port from the N64 game (and Dreamcast I think), I heard it was a really bad port. It looks pretty good, but I guess not.

The Rabbids games are great, but honestly, i've never played a Rayman game.
