Line 4:

The '''''Rayman'' series''' is an action platform video game series. The series was created by French games designer [[Michel Ancel]], and each instalment has been developed and published by [[Ubisoft]]. The protagonist of the games is the heroic [[Rayman]], a character destined to combat the forces of evil and preserve the equilibrium of the universe. The games take place in a fantastical world known as [[the Glade of Dreams]], which was dreamed into existence by the god [[Polokus]] and is sustained by a mystical keystone known as [[the Heart of the World]].

The ''Rayman'' series began in 1995 with the release of [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], a 2D sidescrolling platformer set in a region known as [[the valley]]. This was followed in 1999 by ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', a 3D platformer sequel. The year 2003 saw the release of another 3D platformer, ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]''. In 2005, a fourth instalment, tentatively titled ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]'', was unveiled. This game was planned as another 3D platform title. However, the game was ultimately cancelled. Many of the cancelled game's elements were recycled into the spin-off party game, ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', which went on to spawn its own series of sequels.
