Rayman Raving Rabbids

[Cairnie]

I had that game on PS1 LOL. I beat it in like, 2 days and ended up hating it so I traded it in and got Rayman 3 on GBA.

At least it was better than the console and GBA versions.

You think so? I've watched videos of the DS version and to me there's no way it is better than RRR GBA, which I think was the last good Rayman game. I really loved Raving Rabbids on GBA and I still replay it.
Not the case for the console version, which I utterly despise and am trying to sell it on eBay.

Rayman Hoodlums Revenge more like

What do you mean?

I just have a big problem with Crash Bandicoot type 2.5 graphics is all.

Uhh, you mean the GBA platformers?

I had a Donald Duck game on PS2, I think it was called PK or something. I just traded it back in after a few days. Quack Attack always looked cool to me but I never played it.

I mean when the first one went into the 2D type angles [not that it was a bad game, it was just really fuckin hard, perhaps even harder than Rayman 1]. On RRR DS it just looks like primitive with 32 bit graphics.

[Joshua822]

RRR DS doesn't have 2.5D graphics at all. It's all 3D, but the camera follows you from a 2D-like angle Well, i don't like the combination with RRR music and Rayman 2 sound effects

[Cairnie]

It's not?

As for the music, it would have been better if it was like a module/MIDI file or something rather than the actual music files. That way it would have sounded clearer.

Edit: I just beat it last night. And I see that no-one's still written an FAQ for it on GameFAQs yet, shall I do that when I get back from my nan's?

Oh right. I beat it 100% last month and although it was some tough shit, I'd still say Rayman 1 is harder.

I like how they have Globox, Teensies, Ly, Murfy and that giant Antitoon boss in the GBA game. And the Dream Forest was awesome. I love RRR GBA for that.

[Joshua822]

Well, i personally liked Ly and Murfy style better in Rayman 2 They just look to shiny now

[Cairnie]

Once I knew that you had to circle the screw thing in the Rayman Gear the last few bits were plain sailing. I gotta find the other Lums bags yet though so my FAQ won't come online just yet.

[Rsandee]

Yeah, Donald Duck used Rayman 2's engine. And not only the engine: look at the font in the menu

??? Can i have a pic of that?

[Joshua822]

[stan423321]

Yes, the menu is almost identical in concept, loading screens are similar, don't forget that ele-mele-teleporter creates something similar to portals, and even dust in N64 version is messed as lums in emulators (it's red!). Pause menu in portal level also causes loading, as opposed to level's pause menu. There are LOTS of things like these.

[Joshua822]

Tough, i think that the font is not ruely the same. It looks like it, but it isn't the Rayman menu font. The Rayman menu font is more curved and stuff.

[Cairnie]

Just saw the TV party intro trailer thingie, and I'm so surprised to see Rayman actually in it for more than 5 seconds!

[Serza5]

Lol, I just posted the link in the you game.

I'm not saying this because I don't like the rabbids, but it does look kinda rubbish

Really? It looks to be on the same level as RRR1.

[Limely]

I can honestly say it looks rather fun. I like the style of the game, though it seems to be moving further and further away from Rayman.
It looks like something that would be fun to play with friends too. We´re getting rather sick of Mario Party, Kart, Brawl and Wii sports for our weekend-get-togethers anyways...
But I don´t think I´ll buy a balance board just to play it. So if I need that to be able to use all the features of the game, I´m not getting it.

[Acarr]

I don't want to get it, but I'll get it for my collection *long deep sigh*
