| *''This article is about the educational game for learning a second language. For the similarly named educational game for learning math and reading, see [[Rayman Junior]].''
| |
| | |
| '''''English with Rayman''''' is an educational 2D platform game, based on the original ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. It was designed to teach young children a secondary language, usually English, French, German or Spanish depending on the release. It blends [[the Glade of Dreams]] with the real world in a way which makes little sense in the context of the series, making numerous references to real-world locations such as Ireland and Scotland.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| The gameplay in ''English with Rayman'' is the same as that of ''[[Rayman Junior]]''. [[Rayman]]'s objective is to track down the magic recipe. Throughout the game, [[Rayman]] must solve language-based questions in order to find the correct path through the levels. Along the way, he is helped by [[the Magician]] and his cousin [[Andrew]], who speaks in an English accent and wears a brightly colored top hat which is half-red and half-blue, as well as [[Betilla|Betilla the Fairy]], and what is presumably an English relative of hers (who goes unnamed throughout the game) with a similar designed hat. Often levels require [[Rayman]] to work his way through a maze-like level finding the correct words within a time limit to cause an exit sign to appear, while others are more linear and play more like a level from the [[Rayman 1|original game]]. Pressing R2 during a level takes you to a 'built in dictionary' where either the Magician or Betilla give hints on how to solve the problems. When all the levels are completed, Rayman is given access to [[Fin|Mr. Dark's lair]], a final level in [[Candy Chateau]] with no educational content.
| |
| | |
| Much like in Rayman Junior, the game features the [[Betilla's Garden]] tutorial levels, which can be used to practice Rayman's powers.
| |
| | |
| ==Plot==
| |
| ''English with Rayman'' is set after the original game. While the Magician is in his garden with [[Betilla the Fairy]], he receives a letter from his English cousin, Andrew. It contains a recipe for a magic spell. However, the Magician is unable to read English. Suddenly [[Mr Dark]] appears, snatches the recipe from the Magician's hands and flees. The Magician then calls Rayman on his telephone and asks him for help.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *''Franska med Rayman'', ''Spanska med Rayman'' and ''Tyska med Rayman'' were originally meant to release in Sweden a year after the release of ''Engelska med Rayman'', judging by the box cover which states this on the back.
