Now i must say to my Defence that i grew up with Rayman 3 on the PS2 and never even had heard of Rayman 1 at all as a Kid until my Father brought in his Cousins Pirate CDs and DVDs as he had a Chipped PS2 overhere :P

and while i do love Rayman especially 2 and 3 (tho mostly Rayman Revolution because i prefer the Voice Acting instead of the Gibberish personally :P) i HATE Rayman 1 like i just never found it played Good and it was just argh >.>

And its not like the Music Level makes it frustrating its just the whole Speed of the Game feels more like a Slog to Playthrough -.-

Itd assume anyone else probably enjoyed Rayman 1 more especially via the PC Fan Game of Rayman 1 that basically fixes all the Flaws apparently? >.>
I really should try it out someday :P
Its just for 2D Raymans i prefer Origins and Legends anyday over whatever Rayman 1 rtried to be >.>

Played it on DOS. However, I never finished it, because the music level was such a bastard. Any kind of traction between Rayman and the ground was gone, so you're slipping and sliding everywhere, and when you weren't, you were basically running into spikes. To top it off, the level layout was confusing as hell. Eventually, after many attempts, I got to the boss of the music level. Once. And just like the levels preceding it, the boss was hard to beat, too! In the end, I got frustrated and just bounced off.
