Rayman® Forever

For all the people complaining about the cut music. That's because the Forever version was originally sold on CD and they had to cut something to fit it on the disk... But otherwise a great game and if you didn't play the original before you won't miss it anyway, so for what it offers are 5 stars adequate imo.

Rayman is an awesome classic which I enjoyed playing on the PlayStation. Great platforming, nice difficulty, beautiful music and fantastic atmosphere. Rayman Forever takes that experience, adds more and then GOG brings compatibility. However, the GOG release of Rayman is far from perfect. Graphic scaling is rather hit and miss - some of the higher-level settings result in ridiculous slowdowns, leaving you with more primitive scaling systems, which for me usually result in the game playing in the bottom corner of my screen. Now, I don't mind 'letter-boxing' because preserving the aspect ratio to me is more important than filling the screen. However, an uncentred screen can be a little annoying. Another issue I found is actually quite infuriating on the more difficult areas of platforming, and that's the fact that holding down the jump button on my controller whilst moving in a general direction 'disables' any further pressing of the jump button until you centre the analogue stick. So when you're jumping along small islands, some of which being quite far apart, you end up falling as a result of your buttons not responding. Other than those issues however, this is the exact Rayman experience one would remember from the good ol' days. Although lacking in some of the features added for the PlayStation version, Rayman Forever adds to it with additional content that makes up for that. 4/5.

Awful. Game speed changes from level to level, wrong music tracks, difficulty spiked up, and lacking a few other things from the original.

Hallo möchte dieses Spiel in Deutscher Version, dann gebe ich Dir 5Sterne!!!

When I installed this, Mcafee Total Protection 2012 detected a trojan and the install halted. I had to shut down Mcafee to get it to install. I am hoping this is a false positive by Mcafee as I do not see any mention of a trojan being picked up by any of the other reviewers. The Game itself is a bit of a letdown. If you played the original you'll relize that alot has been removed such as some of the music and cutscenes. Be sure to download the original intro from the extras section if you need to know what the Rayman story is about , as it has been removed from the actual game! Also on my 1.4ghz quad core laptop running Windows 7 64bit, the music often stutters! The Game itself seems to play smothly however! I suggest using a gamepad, but it can be played using the keyboard also. I got this on sale for $2.99, but had I paid full price I would have only given it 2 stars. Sorry GOG that my first review is a bit negative, but I will continue to patronize this site as everything else I've purchased here (12 Games so far) has been flawless.
