Description
GBA port of the original Rayman platform game developed by Ubisoft, published in Europe in June 2001. Rayman explores six worlds to free his Electoon friends captured by the tyrant Mr. Dark. Colorful and inventive 2D platform levels, memorable music, formidable world-end bosses and accessible gameplay. European GBA launch title and first episode of the Rayman franchise on portable console.
A GBA port of the original 1995 Rayman, Rayman Advance transposes the superb, demanding platforming of the PlayStation game, with its enchanting backdrops, gradual powers and devious level design. The art direction stays a treat and the jump precision rewarding for those who love a challenge. The brutal difficulty and a few quirks of the smaller screen make it an at-times frustrating experience. A choice piece for fans of tough retro platforming and nostalgics of Rayman's beginnings.
