My sister and I loved Rayman as kids, the whole atmosphere
that the music, and just the scenery itself created was very
relaxing, it was just a very beautiful, and all around fun game.
It even had it's humorous points.

The wrong mechanics of the game even rather appealed to me. A disembodied man on a mission, never really understood that, but what I did know, is, I did love Globox in the Rayman series, one of the seemingly more goofy characters that kind of looks like a trash can, with the way his mouth opens. Though I do believe he first appeared in Rayman 2...within the first few minutes of starting the game, I think.

Though, I must say, the whole Rayman series was pretty amazing, the graphics for it's time were rather good, though I suppose that's a rather over-used phrase, eh? The game was, however, rather original. My favourite game has got to be either Rayman, or Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, since I can recall more about the third game than the second, because of the severe change in game mechanics. With the first game just being rather memorable for starting off the series, plus, as mentioned below, it sets a lovely, calm atmosphere!

Pretty amazing series, in all.
