Rayman® Forever

I'll be honest. I've never played the original game on the Playstation or SEGA Saturn. I've only had the experience of playing this game AFTER playing Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. So, I'm coming from a less nostalgic perspective than many others might be. This game can be summed up with three adjectives: fun, colorful, and brutal. Playing this game is interesting, especially to someone who has been bedazzled by the newer titles in the series. It looks great. You won't find yourself in want of a better graphics. It's got some enjoyable platforming, both slow and fast paced. But the major problem I have with the game is why it's hard. It's the kind of difficulty that puts fairness in the back seat. The game doesn't ease you into difficult situations. It throws you into them like a hurricane. While playing I couldn't help but feel like the game was just thrusting me into situations which are only conquerable through trial and error. Both obstacles and rewards will appear out of thin air almost constantly. Slides will lead you to your doom without any indication. Enemies sometimes will seem to take many more hits than usual to kill. But even with all that, I still feel compelled to go through this game. It's an enjoyable experience, if you can keep your cool in the midst of seemingly unfair losses.

The soundtrack of this game is really beautiful, and for the computers today GOG can't tell me that is too much space, so as long as I don't get full soundtrack one star it is

Not my bag (hence the 4/5 stars I gave it), but I can stomach them if they're done well and a little nostalgia always helps. Rayman Forever succeeds on both fronts and as such if you're after a fun little time-waster in the way of old-school 2D platforming, I see nothing but fun times for all who purchase this game.

In my life I have played many, and I mean MANY games, But THE best game I have ever played, is RAYMAN. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS GAME! For a small price of $5.99 you get: Rayman Rayman Designer Rayman By His Fans The Rayman Soundtrack A desktop wallpaper 2 Avatars AND The Full Instruction Manual Simplyb the best game on gog.com and of course rayman 2 ;).

My copy of Avast AV just reported Win32:CIH-G@dam in the file Mapper.exe included with this game. Could be a false positive but I'd scan carefully when you install it.
