Rayman DS is abit of a disapointing game. Rayman DS is a port from the game Rayman 2 which came out for the PS, N64, Dreamcast and PC. Rayman 2 was a great game. Sadly Rayman DS isn't as good as the original. First of all the controls are not that good. Ryman DS hardly uses the touch screen at all except for moving around. Moving around using the touch screen is much more accurate and precise than using the D pad. Using the D pad is very inaccurate and feels akward. The camera angles are also very annoying. One good thing about the camera angles though is that when you fight an enemy and you press R the camera will automatically lock on to that enemy. Despite the dodgy controls Rayman DS has some acceptable graphics. Its a 3D game which is good. Some of the pixels are noticable but you can put this aside. Overall the graphics are OK. The sound is much more quiet than other DS games. This makes the DS feel weaker. But the sound effects themselves are great. You can hear the tropical birds singing and the waterfalls pouring. In a way the setting of the game is quite relaxing beacuse of the sounds. Rayman DS has alot of levels. Its a very lengthy game which will keep you playing for some time. You'll get alot for your money with Rayman DS. Rayman DS doesn't live up to the standards of Mario 64 DS but its a decent platformer with bad controls and gameplay, respectable graphics, OK sound and great replay value. Rayman DS is certainly not one of the great games out there but its alright.
The classic Rayman 2 for the N64 comes to the DS, however, your interest in this port will be short lived. You play as Rayman, who has been captured, along with everyone else, by pirates. The world is overrun with the... Read Full Review
...but you just didn't deliver. I was late in purchasing this title, and did so against the advice of pretty much every professional game reviewer. I loved Rayman 2: The Great Escape so much, and wanted to be able to... Read Full Review
