Maybe it is the easiest version, but it's still hard.

Regardless of what it says, it works on Windows 7. Unfortunately you might not having any music, which is only fixable if you are able to launch the game's configuration and change the sound card plugin.

Have you ever played Rayman Advance? If not, then you don't know the meaning of a small screen. Plus Rayman Advance is far closer in difficulty to the original than the DSi version, just the graphics are a little worse.
I know Rayman Advance is on GBA, which has a smaller screen, as well as having the field of view being reduced, whilst this also happens on the DSi version, it's not on as a large scale, but it still is smaller, which does put the player at a disadvantage.
I've actually believe Advance is harder than the Original, given the need for reaction based timing.

So far, I've found it easier. Namely because a lot of the chase scenes and scrolling screen elements in levels have either been removed or heavily shortened and simplified. For example, there was no water flood at part 3 of Mr Stone's Peaks, making it from frustrating to one of the easiest maps in the game! Eraser Plains is daft though, because they removed the ink effect (so it's hard to tell when Rayman is going to die while standing on the pencils) so I can see where you're coming from

I found Rayman Advance harder to manoeuvre Rayman himself, due to the limited screen size.

Advance is the easiest version in my opinion. I beat it in a week.

But did you play the DSi one? It is supposedly even easier.

Actually saw the Game Over animation for the very first time today (when you run out of a set of continues). It sucked though because I was in the middle of a boss fight at the end of particularly annoying level, but there you go. It was cool to see 'new' Rayman animation I guess :oops2:

Also why is the continues system in Rayman so cruel? From what I've seen and read there are only 10 sets of continues in the game unless you cheat. What happens when you run out - does it just automatically take you to the game over screen when you run out of lives, thus ruining the game? Unfair!

:shock: That's even worse! Sorry, I've been playing the GBA version - keep forgetting they've upped the amount of continues, lives, health points etc.

But seriously, why did they limit the amount of continues like that in the first place? It's just so frustrating!

Welcome to Rayman's World where nature and peace and everything was nice blah blah blah.
And then you die. Lots of times. It's the game's nature, really :P it's supposed to be hard, that's why it's legendary.

I still didn't play that version, plus Nintendo is taking forever to decide to sell the eShop cards, who were initially predicted to be in June.

Yes, not exactly sure why they did that. I think they wanted to make it clearer that they were meant to represent bars of music because some people weren't sure what they were and kept calling them icy bars. I wish they hadn't fiddled though, they looked better when they looked metallic and slippery.

The DSI version is a curiosity - mainly because I don't own it due to the lack of a DSI :P. I wish they'd released it on cartridge, but oh well...

Wait, if Rayman 1 was released on Playstation 1 and 3, was it also released on Playstation 2? I have a PS2 and I'd really like to get the game for that. XD

And it feels both wierd and oddly comforting to know that Rayman 1 was first released before I was even born. :fou2:

Rayman 1 was not rereleased on the PS2, however it is backwards compatible, so if you want to play R1 on PS2, just insert the PS1 disk into the PS2.
As for PS3, the Rayman 1 on PSN is the exact same game as the PS1 version, you'd get the same result if you put in a R1 PS1 disk into the PS3.

No, it wasn't. If you want to play Rayman 1 in the PS2, you need to buy a genuine copy. ;)
