2.0 out of 5 stars Too easy...and slow too., December 28, 2002

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Rayman Arena for Nintendo GameCube (Video Game)

There are four different modes of gameplay. Two of them are racing modes: Obstacle Course & Time Attack. Two of them are battle modes: Total Fight & Freeze Combat.

Here is a breakdown of each mode:

Obstacle Course - You try and make your way through obstacles and get to the finish line before your opponent(s).

Time Attack - You try and build a 6 second lead against your opponent(s) while running through the obstacle courses.

Total Fight - You try and hit your opponent(s) more than they hit you.

Freeze Combat - You try and collect colored orbs while keeping your opponent(s) away by freezing them.

You play through 12 different levels for each mode. After you beat the extremely easy Beginner Circuit, then you move on to the pretty easy Pro Circuit. After you beat that, a final Challenge Circuit is unlocked where you have to go through all of the levels in all of the modes and beat Dark Rayman at them. You can also unlock bonus characters and four bonus race tracks (which look AWFUL!)

Needless to say, I was not impressed with this game. Racing around on foot with Rayman is terribly slow and you get frustrated watching him poke along. A better sense of speed would have made things more exciting. The difficulty of this game is also skewed more toward the 8-12 year old group and older gamers will find it way too simple.

This game does have a Multiplayer Mode but you and your friends will definitely be bored of it within an hour of playing. This game is only recommended for younger players.

As fun characters you battle and race to get new skins, win championships, and feel the thrill of victory. There's not much more to it but it sure is fun!
