Rayman
Rayman
Rayman, développé par Ubi Soft Paris Studios et édité notamment par Ubi Soft Entertainment, est un jeu d'aventure et de plateforme sorti le 7 septembre 1995 sur PlayStation, Sega Saturn, PlayStation Portable et PlayStation 3. Ce jeu de plates-formes à défilement horizontal met en scène Rayman, un personnage au grand nez dépourvu de bras et de jambes, capable de sauter, de planer brièvement grâce à ses cheveux et d'attaquer en lançant ses poings ou en chargeant un coup plus puissant. L'intrigue suit le héros alors que le maléfique Mr. Dark a dérobé le Grand Protoon et vaincu la fée Betilla, dispersant les Électoons à travers le monde ; aidé par le Magicien qui propose des mini-jeux, Rayman doit les retrouver et vaincre Mr. Dark, en collectant des Tings pour obtenir des vies supplémentaires et de nouveaux pouvoirs comme l'usage des poings ou de l'hélicoptère. La presse a salué l'expérience, comme l'a fait Media and Games Online Network qui a qualifié le titre d'« insanely good time », tandis que TotalGames.net a relevé la qualité graphique comme une référence pour le jeu portable. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic apprécient le style artistique et le gameplay mais regrettent une bande-son problématique, une fin décevante et la nécessité de recommencer un niveau entier en cas de perte de toutes les vies. L'ensemble affiche une note moyenne agrégée de 77,58.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« An insanely good time! »
« The graphical detail throughout makes this a new watershed in handheld game design. »
« The best platformer currently available for the GBA; Ubisoft beat Mario at his own game... for now. »
« Absolutely gorgeous, offering multiple scrolling backgrounds with superbly detailed, painted look to them. »
« Features great graphics, amusing animation, and terrific game play. »
« As good as it gets when it comes to platform games. I even like this game better than "Super Mario Advance." »
« The thing that makes this game good enough to warrant purchase is its clever design and game play, along with graphics that’ll have your eyes bugging out of your head. »
« Some of the most imaginative levels ever. [GamesMaster Magazine, #109] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« The main problem with this game is its OST. The game itself is a pretty solid platformer and, from a graphical standpoint, it’s among the best you can expect on the GBA. However, the music is disappointing, they replaced the original masterpiece soundtrack with a repetitive and rather annoying one. Overall, it’s still a good game, but if you have the opportunity, you’re strongly advised to play it on PS1 or PC instead. »
« Nice artstyle and gameplay, the ending is a bit underwhelming and the fact that you have to restart whole levels if you lose all lives is a bit bad, overall good game »
« Ehh i had better 2d plattforming but this game is still kinda fun if im being honest »
« I used to think I loved this game for the nostalgia of playing it back in the day. But after replaying it recently, I’ve realized I would’ve praised it just as much if it had come out in 2025 instead of 1995. »
« I have so much fun every time I play this game. Everything about it, from the story to the gameplay, is just amazing. I enjoyed every moment while playing this game »
« A pretty looking platformer that adds a mild Metroidvania element for a little variety. Unfortunately, rather than a free-roaming environment to explore it merely forces you to replay the same linear levels over and over which kind of defeats the object. A solid but generic example of cutesy platforming for the younger player. »
« 2021 Update: This is not a very good version of the game. It's just OK. The screen crunch is what really kills this version of the game. I was use to it as a kid, but not today. It is technically easier than the PS1 version, but the screen crunch makes it harder in an unfair way. Luckily there are cheats for the game to see it all without having to go through hell with how the game is. But overall, there are better versions of the game. This is fun, but boy, is it hard. This version is almost as hard as the PS1 version. I feel like it would be better if the game's difficulty was toned down a bit. It's decent for on the go, though I would recommend the DSi version, due to it being a lot easier. »
