When the Game boy advance first game out, You do not know how excited everybody was! I was pretty excited too, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this amazing new handheld. I did manage to get one luckily! And one of the first games I got for it Was rayman advance, A remake of the original PlayStation one game rayman. Will this game be a good launch title or a terrible one? Let's see!
Story-7/10 The story behind this adventure is that one peaceful day in the dream forest, An evil sorcerer dude by the name of Mr dark is planning to capture all of the adorable little electoons and keep them captive, It is now up to our hero Rayman to put an end to this mess and save the day from disaster!
Gameplay-8/10 Rayman is your typical cartoony action platformer. You take the role of Rayman, A funny looking hero who has no limbs whatsoever. As rayman, It is your job to travel and adventure through 7 big worlds and do one important thing, Free all the elctoons! Yes, believe me when I say it, But you need all the electoons in order to fight the final boss and win the game! No electoons, no finale! As you progress through the game, You will fight a bunch of nasty enemies, such as gardeners, stonehenges, etc. Also in your quest, You will be collecting a bunch of power-ups, such as P tokens, which will give you more energy, Golden fists, which will give you more power then usual, And rayman statues, which will award you with an extra life. The bosses are my favorite part of the game, At the end of each world, You will fight a boss, These range from Mosquitoes, Giant trumpets, Scorpions, etc. Last but not least, every few levels, Betilla the fairy will come to give you a new power, these range from grappling hooks, punching, ledge grabbing, etc. Well that is pretty much it for the gameplay.
Graphics-9/10 One of the game's highest points! The graphics in this game are without a doubt some of the most colorful graphics I have ever seen in a game boy advance game! Every single one of the levels you'll be exploring are big, wonderful, and bursting with color. As for the characters, they are all really cute and bursting with detail. This was the old rayman way before He turned 3D and got a way more serious look, I like that look, But I prefer this one better!
Sound-8/10 Back when we got this game on the original PlayStation one, We were greated with very catchy bright and cartoony music, Something the Rayman is known for. So what do I think of the soundtrack of this game? I think it is great! All of the songs you will be listening to and happy, cartoony, and strangely catchy! As for the sound effects, they are your typical stuff as well, You have your thwacks, bounces, boings, and everything ou except from a game like this. The music in the later titles are good, But actually, I like both the music in this game and the later titles!
Addictiveness-7/10 Did I have fun with this game? Of course I did! It was one of my favorite games for the game boy advance back then, And It still is today, I don't see any reason to really hate this game. I know It is hard at certain points, But that's why I like it! It is a nice game that challenges me alot! I still have this game in my Game boy advance game box and It is never getting old.
Depth-7/10 This game is really really long and It will offer you alot to do, Like I said before, There are a bunch of electoons to collect, and getting all of them takes quite alot of patience. The game is about 7 worlds long, So it will robally take you about 6-8 hours to beat the whole game. This is quite along game if you ask me!
Difficulty-9/10 This has got to be one of THE hardest games I have played in a while, But that's what makes it fun right? Yes. I died in this game alot of times and threw a bunch of obscenities, but Is it my fault? Nah, It must be the game's fault, but who cares? I'm always up for a challenge these days...
Overall-8.2/10 So in general, If you want a great platformer to play on the Game boy advance, I highly suggest you pick this one up! I gave this game an 8.2 because how much fun it is and the amount of content it offers, So buy it now! You won't regret it, Besides, This game is pretty cheap these days, It only costs like what? 1 dollar? Anyways, Buy it now! This has been RedHotToddy, And I am signing off....
