Not much, really, but it did get me thinking about sequels. This review is about the third iteration of the classic and wonderful Rayman series. It may even be the fourth, if one gamepad includes the not-too-successful Rayman Arena, a multiplayer effort. Of course, I also thought of this lyric because Rayman rarely has both feet on the ground, being an adept jumper and even frequent flyer! Back in my younger days, I had the gamepad pleasure of reviewing for another site the classic and incredible Rayman 2: The Great Escape. This first venturing of gamepad the venerated Rayman series into the world of 3D was truly awe-inspiring. The worlds were huge and colorful; the design of levels was ingenious; surprises were abundant; and the whole novelty of the character, coupled with offbeat humor, simply made this the most endearing platform game I had, and have, ever experienced. Flaws, such as the interface (camera control) and save game limitations, were overlooked with the overwhelmingness of the beautiful gameplay of Rayman 2.
