Hi, I have been playing a little with my Rayman 1 and I still love it. Just wanted to say something because I have been out a lot of time. ^_^ Hope all my partners are here.
Rayman [1] was the only tough game in the series so far, in my opinion of course. Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc was probably intentionally easy--it would after all have a hall-of-fame where replaying to gain a better score was the trick, and being easy let more room for experienced gamers to jack their scores up easily.
