This mediocre Rayman game has him and 3 other characters in a foot race
through various levels plus also a combat section in arenas all played
in third-person view. In the racing part of the game you have to run
3 obstacle filled laps of a course. You'll have to jump over and around
barriers, climb up walls, surf down waterways, and do some fast platform
jumping to come in first place. After you run these several times though,
there's no excitement left to them. The combat part is also very simplistic
with 4 other foes and you have to collect 5 glowing spheres before your
opponents. There are various weapons including a flamethrower (!) and
ice beam. The game has a multiplayer component in the form of two-player
split-screen play and four-player gaming over a LAN. The cartoony graphics
are ok but the game shows it was a console port with its clunky interface
and controls not really conceived for the pc. Rayman Arena only differs
from Rayman M in very minor ways, only edited in the intro movie, load
screens, etc. |
