Rayman is the most graphically impressive game now available for the GBA. But what I love most about Rayman is it's a great game for all ages. Younger gamers will enjoy the crisp, bright graphics, entertaining animation of the characters and the inspired level designs (such as a land of huge musical instruments and another made up of huge pencils, pens, paintbrushes and other art supplies). Older games will enjoy all this as well as get into the deep gameplay which has you going back to previous levels after you've gained special abilities to rescue previously unattainable Electoons. It's also fun trying to find, and beat, all the magical mini-games.

This is a great game for a portable gaming system because the levels are broken up into short segments. This allows you to easily play for a few minutes or hours on end (as you most likely will) and always accomplish something. Saving your game progress is easy too, as you can save at the end of any level. There are even save points within the level so you can return to that point if you loose a life.

For impressive graphics, imaginative level design and challenging quests that can be enjoyed by gamers of any age, you can't go wrong with Rayman Advance! You'll be blown way!

I'm 36 and mostly stick to the puzzle and logic type games because I'm not a seasoned veteran of these side-scroller games---I'm too busy with work, family and other commitments to spend hours on end trying to reach that next level! I still want a fun, portable diversion now and then and bought a GBA because of the improved graphics and memory capability.

This is one of two launch titles I bought, and I found Rayman Advance to be fun, funny, and challenging without being frustrating. The environments are colorful and amusing, the music is cute but not annoying, and Rayman's movements and reactions are also very funny.

Very experienced gamers who have mastered much more difficult titles might find this one way too easy and boring, but it's about right for me. I just hate those games where you keep dying over and over until you get the millisecond timing for a jump or attack exactly right; in this game, exploration seems more important and there are many areas of the environment (and one-ups, "tings", and other things) you won't find at all if you don't climb every vine and jump onto every platform.

If you're more goal-oriented and prefer games that test your timing and coordination, you should probably bypass this one and pick up Castlevania instead. But if you're in it for fun, Rayman is tough to beat!

This game really surprised me! First of all, because it has the cuttest graphics I've ever seen in a long long time on a videogame, not to mention the background music! And second of all, because it's not a dumb game, like many nowadays. It's a game with some sort of difficulty, that not every children would manage to play. It's a game as tough as games were some years ago, back there when NES was at the top.
That is also why some people might bother to play this game: the stages are really long, and sometimes you have to play them for hours before you can continue, and you cannot save until you end them. But, for me, that's the beauty of these harder games: they are really worth your money, because you don't spent 30 dollars just to play 3 hours... You spent 30 dolars to play day after day, and still don't finish the game. And when you finish, you probably won't even remembered how it started, and you'll feel like playing it all over again! I think this game will be a huge success! :)

This game is fantastic! The graphics are spectacular and the game play is lot's of fun. You really feel like you are playing on a large video game system. It's so addictive, I couldnt put it down and when I did (three hours later), my fingers were so cramped I couldnt move them. I highly recommend this game. I'm 37 and just love it and I'm very fussy about the games I like. Even my eight year old can't put it down. We help each other out getting to new levels. This is a must have game for the Gameboy Advance.

I just got rayman advance with my new gba and i thought well this is the best game here so i might as well get it. i didnt think i would like it much but i LOVED it! i just got it today and i have been playing it since. im not very far but i still like it (ok ok im only on the first lvl lagh all ya want) i cant tell you much about it but the graphics and color are almost like afew less graphical n64 games. its loads of fun if a bit chalenging even for those who (like me)never even knew rayman existed till now! well the unressistable urge to play again is upon me so bye and GET, THIS, GAME!!!!!

Rayman Advance is a pretty good game. The detail in the worlds is amazing! But the game is quite difficult. Even though you have plenty of health and lives the levels are hard. So if you are looking for a fun but difficult adventure game then I would suggest you check out Rayman Advance.

If you own a GBA, don't even consider playing on it if you don't own a copy of RAYMAN ADVANCE. It is the sweetest game Nintendo has made yet for a handheld. It's got dazzling graphics with great color which makes the game play easier and causes less eye strain. RAYMAN ADVANCE is not 3-D, but it's still worth the money. It's a great platform game. The sound/music is ok, I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's not overly great. You can save the game every 1/4 level or so, so it's not to bad for saving games. RAYMAN ADVANCE is very challenging: packed with tons of levels, worlds and many different enemies. This is a ya-gotta-get game. GET RAYMAN ADVANCE NOW!!!!!!!

Rayman Advance is my third game purchase for my GBA and I am not at all disappointed.

The character design & animations are wonderfully done and the backgrounds (which are presumably pre-rendered) are simply stunning.

Rayman is easy to control and fun to play.

The only criticisms which could be made against Rayman are:

1. The music (while nice) gets a little repetitive. 2. The earlier levels don't last long (although the overall game seems huge).

This is a definite must buy!

Rayman is an adorable little guy with no arms or legs. But that does not stop him from his quest to save the Electoons. Rayman Advance is the first game to really show off the advanced graphics capabilitys of the GBA, and it has very smooth controlls, which make for good gameplay. The game is fun, and replay value is good, because you have to go back to levels that you have already completed once you have new powers so you can find all of the cages. The game allows you to save often, which is good, and it is not the annoying passwords of the GBC game. This and Tony Hawk should be the first games you buy for the GBA.

Oh,and for those of us who like to have walkthroughs, there is one in the first issue of Nintendo Power Advance.

When I bought raymond I did'nt think I would like it. But boy was I wrong! This game will have you on the end of your seat, from the bug lord to the whomping willows. People of all ages enjoy this game, from kids to adults. ( my dad even liked it! ) So next time you want to buy a Game boy advance game buy raymond!
