3D rayman was a mistake.

>pretty good writing and voice acting

Maybe in native French, but the English dub was fucking atrocious. Murphy was both annoying and unfunny.

What did you mean by this

>>387458134
It's been too long since I played 3...

I remember the first levels, some bitch witch you have to fight, the final boss that turns into a flying giant.

But what's stuck to me the most was that arena fight between some giant with a staff. I also remember it had great music, kino fight. What was that guy called?

That said, Rayman 2 is still the best. The decaying atmosphere of a world under attack and the great music and level variety was just too good. It felt like a long adventure that had everything, one that you didn't want to end.

When i played Rayman 2 i had a shitty second hand memory pak that didnt work and wouldnt save properly.
I had to start from the beginning every time i played, and eventually got so good at finishing the first half so quickly i eventually beat the game in one sitting. Its just normal when youre a kid.

That was Reflux the Knaaren. Great fight. He gave up his immortality for power. Super good music too.

Knaarens were fucking dark.

To be fair I can't imagine beating the game in one sitting. I used to play it little by little for weeks, I think I was too small and hadn't learned to use the internet. I remember I couldn't understand the language in the game because there was no translation for my euro country, and couldn't figure out I had to get the potion from that creepy one-eyed guy in the dream world to continue. So I got stuck for days going through every level until I figured it out. Language barriers are harsh.

R3 is the weakest of the rayman games, but it's still decent

>>387458191
then you have faggots like these denying the greatness of rayman 2

Knaarens were EXTREMELY dark. They would break skulls and eat the brains of people. The stealth sections were scary as sh it.

Yeah they taunt you while you hide. I'm never replaying this game

>>387458467
Hated that teleporting fucker so much but on the other hand he had the best theme in the game.

>tfw "see you in Rayman 4!"

That said, Origins and Legends were top-tier. I'd say Legends > Origins > Revolution/2 > 3 > [/spoiler]Rabbids[/spoiler] > 1.

1 is the only one I don't really like. It's challenging but not engaging, if that makes sense?

3 on the other hand definitely deserves more appreciation. It builds up from 2 in nice ways and has some solid platforming. Stuff like running through the sniper's house, funkyboarding, that ghost tower, pretty much everything with the Knaaren. The story's basic but good too imo.

I'm honestly not sure why 3 didn't hit more critical acclaim. The protagonist was plain and it had a few bugs but not more so than any other mascot platformer at the time.

>fucked up the spoilers

Screw it /v/, I shouldn't be ashamed. I liked that first Rabbids game. Those minigames were hit and miss but generally pretty fun.

>>387460676
First Rayman Raving Rabbids had me laughing like crazy when I was 8
Was very disappointed in the lack of adventure the game had though and I got stuck cus the PS2 controller was obviously not the intended way to play

I enjoyed 3 and its retarded humor, but I feel like 2 had more charm and better gameplay, and I was more into the insane robot pirate aesthetics than whatever the hoodlums were going for. Plus I didn't give a fuck about the annoying combo score system, I'd rather try to collect the thousand lums.

Anyway, Rayman M (arena) was my shit and probably the one I played the most. I'd always play as Teensies or the loli fairy.
