It must be almost ten years since I became a Rayman fan now. o.o I was about 7-8 years old when my sister got Rayman for PS1. We loved playing it, but found the game both difficult and hard to get through, but I also loved to play it. I strived hard to beat it, even though it took me ages. The fact that one didn't need a memory card, and could use passwords instead made me really happy, since I didn't have any memory cards in the beginning, so I beat the entire game without one.
When Rayman 2 came out on PS1 I was overjoyed. It was right before Christmas, so I "casually" told my mother I wanted that game when we were in the local game shop. You bet I was happy when I got the game for Christmas!

After that I've played borrowed Rayman M a few times, got Rayman Revolution a couple of years ago to my birthday, and bought Rayman 3, and RRR for my Wii. My favorite game is, of course Rayman 2. So many memories and good times with that game

And also I can play that little demo for that original Rayman 2 after the end of the game as well. xD
For now I'm hoping that Ubisoft will somehow manage to get back on track again with Rayman, not focus 99% on some stupid, crazy rabbids, and drag Rayman away from his own homeworld to our planet. Those who become Rayman fans because of RRR/RRR2 are really missing out on the good stuff from the previous games that made a really good Rayman game >___> Not some crazy creatures you want to kill anyways. x3 RRR looked good at first with the trailers that first came. The rabbids actually seemed like dangerous foes, and a real threat to Rayman's world and that. If that hadn't been changed, then perhaps the game would've been a lot better at least. o.o
