Rayman is easily one of the best 2D platforming games ever, with amazing visuals, charming characters, secrets around every corner, replayability, and what´s better than all, a really good and tight gameplay. Like in every good platforming game you control the character, and you will rarely feel cheated. Most times you die, the fault is yours and only yours. All the movements in the game (except maybe one) are awesome and really useful. Each time you get one, you feel invincible, until you get to the next level and you are required to start mastering that new move too. The game has 6 worls and it can get really challenging starting just at the second one. I know this game like the palm of my hand, and I still die a lot. I recommend this game to anyone that loves good platforming games, and I encourage them to try Rayman Designer after finishing the core game. It has some nice and challenging levels, and a powerful editor where you can make some impressive levels. I haven´t played much Rayman by his fans though, but the levels seemed to be worse than Rayman and Rayman Designer ones, too nooby levels. Anyway, pick this game up, you will get one of the best games in the genre, and personally the best Rayman game ever (although I liked 2 and 3 too, they were never the same), a powerful editor with some hard levels, and even some levels if you still want more. And mind you, this game was already unplayable on XP without DosBox, so it´s awesome to have it on GOG.
