Ugh, man, I cannot believe this game would make me get tired of going through Rayman 2. Probably since its been on every system imaginable.
See, the thing is, its not the port thats terrible. Its decent. Framerate is tolerable, the touch screen controls feel a little better than Mario 64's, and its a port of the N64 version, so while it doesnt have the extra flaura and fauna of the Dreamcast version, its still got a decent version based off of.
But as a DS title, its a complete disappointment, early press releases hinted at a multiplayer mode which is nowhere to be found. The levels are dark, which should teach developers of a thing called brightness control. Not to mention, theres no reason to get it unless you have never picked up Rayman 2, which is foolish if you STILL havent played it. But then again, some of the sequences of Rayman 2 are rather tiresome, and the DS version just makes them even more boring for some reason.
Not to mention theres no real point to the bottom screen, as my thumb is always covering up the neccesary information I need to read. Its so useless that you can turn on/off the brightness for either screen sepratley.
No touch screen mini games
No maps
The bottom screen is a waste, a disappointing start for Rayman.
Rayman Advance feels like a much better port.
