So many ps1 games were too hard. Disney Hercules, Mickey Mouse, Crash bandicoot. All games I was never able to finish. Ape escape as well. Really really hard
The atmosphere in this game is amazing. Really an epitome of the '90s; very happy and light, full of positive energy, lots of funny exaggerated stereotypes. The artwork is very expressive and tasteful, and is far superior to the other editions of Rayman, if I may say so.
Im proud to say after returning to this game as an adult, to take my revenge and avenge my confidence of gaming skills that was lost as a child....I have finally beaten Rayman....I’ve never felt more accomplished in completing a video game...
Love this game. One of the most gorgeous and challenging platformers ever made. I couldn't really appreciate it as a little kid because it was just too hard, but I'm so glad I came back to it as I got older.
it took me over a year to finish it as a kid. to this date the hardest game i've ever finished. no cheats used either so i remember playing the same old shit a thousand times because of game overs.
It’s 3am here and I was trying to sleep, when I suddenly recollected the drumming music that you hear between levels of a game I haven’t played in 17 years. I started tapping the exact beat on my bed when I felt compelled to turn my phone on and search for this video. Big nostalgia.
I always used to pose for a photo and tilt my head to the left and smile at the end of it lol everytime. Ah to be a kid again, but only the fun times lol
I remember one time as a kid I spent literally a whole 20 minutes just punching the fish over and over again not realizing they were infinitely spawning, I just assumed that's what you had to do lol.
It doesn't need to be remade it is fine the way it is. Infact i would rather the newer games went back to this old style where Rayman didn't act like those darn Rabbids
Trashy kpop Memes I never played twinsanity or wrath of cortex. My only crash games I’ve never played. I really wanna play twinsanity but I have been looking for my old ps2 for days
@@nicolewiedemann8747 I know right. If it isn't the trumpets Rayman needs to use to go up the slippery platforms that get smaller with every jump, it's the small slippery platforms you have to use to get across a huge bottomless pit and since Rayman keeps his momentum while on said platforms I used to ragequit many times back then (and this was before I chose another level only to find out that hanging onto ledges was a powerup in the game).
@@biku1001 As far as I know there is no PS2 version, unless you used the PS2's compatability with PS1 games. If not, then I'd be interested in the details.
I mean, given how folks will probably lose their minds by the Blue Mountains, and given how you have to 100% the game in order to finish it... yeah, I can't blame them.
That is without doubt one of the best walkthroughs I have ever had the pleasure of watching. To make a hard game like Rayman look so effortless and easy is just amazing. Whoever did this walkthrough I salute you. Your skill is exemplary.
This game will always have a special place in my heart because I played it as a child together with my friend and we had such a good time, even though we never beat it. Hearing the ps1 and Ubisoft logo gave me goosebumps. A true nostalgia bomb, thank you for this video.
man the aesthetics of this game... Even the soundtrack is amazing. I was so obssesed with it as a kid, drawing Mr Sax and shit every other day. They should have continued the games in this fashion..
What a beautifully designed game, perfect hilarious graphics, brilliant sound and music, short tricky levels where your timing had to be immaculate. The very definition of a fun platformer. I played the arse out of Rayman and loved every minute but could never get past that flipping scorpion !!
@@m.e.d3672 all of it "avoid 50 boulders, water and climb tiny ledges that is if rayman decides to grab the ledge which 6/10 times he doesn't so you fall and die"
thank you so much for posting this! Almost every time I visited my grandma I would play this on her PlayStation during my visit there and this brought back unparalleled memories.
The damage on my heart made by this game when I was about 5, especially its f weird art design, was so deep that I cannot get rid of it for my whole life.
This was incredible to watch - you didn't take a single hit throughout the entire game!! I respect that level of Rayman mastery, especially involving the first game.
I've commented on this video 3 years ago because I was amazed too, but I also thought this person was cheating because there were so many moments they should've gotten hit and didn't, like 2:23:54 (also, there are other comments linking other parts of the video). I think now I can confirm that they should've gotten hit, so I'm a little disappointed. Still, it only happened on a few occasions!
I thought this series was only a little over a decade old until today this gives me chills thinking of how it's older than some of my teachers and friends but friends don't really count you know what I mean
The whole thing is a polished masterpiece, absolutely brilliant gameplay, beautiful graphics combined with well-composed and constructed music. Absolute perfection.
I remember this being so f'in hard back in 1998-1999 when I played this. Me, my brother and my friend just couldn't get all the cages in order to proceed to the last levels. Watching back to this as an adult, the game seems super punishing and unforgiving :D And the athmosphere and art style are of course unbelievable. This is an absolute gem of a game!
I have the second one for the Nintendo 64 and rayman 2 revolution for the playstation 2 and number three for the playstation 2 as well. And rayman legends for the playstation 4.
Literally was born in 95 and remember playing this game with my older brother. Y’all can’t tell me the soundtracks on this game aren’t legendary cause I instantly go back in time I hear them. @5:50 when he meets the princess with the flower dancing, crazy vibes and just feels. Man time is flying by 🙄🤷🏽♂️ Stay blessed in 2022 🙏🏽
After almost 20 years of regularly alternating trying to beat this game and giving up, I finally decided to play it with maximum patience and just completed it. I would have never found some hidden cages without you. Thanks!
Remember playing this when I was a kid around 7 with my 2 older brothers...and man the nostalgic vibes I get. And has anyone notice how rayman says "Becuase" really quickly and quietly for some reason?
@@Dante_Sparda_DMC anytime you sit still for a little too long...just watch anytime the character is at a still moment🤣 if its hard for you to find ill try to find a time stamp
The part where you had to fly on the mosquito at 18:17 was literally the hardest thing I ever did as a child😭 this video brings back so many memories, thanks for the upload!
All that story and effort and at the end it just goes ‘you’ve done it you saved the world’? That’s it?!? Who was Mr Dark and why was he evil? Was the pink wasp guy forced to be evil? He’a Your friend in one level (when you ride him) but chases you with a purple spiky and is crying about it in another? Why?! So many unanswered questions!
Adam657 So about the pink mosquito. The one encountered in Anguish Lagoon is actually Bzzit, NOT Moskito. Bzzit becomes your friend and appears once again in Rayman 2. The mosquito encountered in Moskito’s Nest is Moskito, the boss of Dream Forest. The one chasing you on the spike ball is Moskito, but due to an oversight has Bzzit’s coloring, so is always confused as Bzzit. I hope this helps!
The fact that when Rayman is riding the blueberry is making the same noice as Banjo & Kazooie transformed into a truck in Banjo Tooie is absolutely amazing.
We often talk about how the PSX brought 3d games to the mainstream, but we usually overlook how amazing 2d games looked as well ! Castlevania : Symphony of the Night and Rayman are huge examples.
You made this game look so much easier than I remembered! I never got to complete the game as a child, I was forever dying lol 😂 Thank you for making this video and well done on 100% it! You’ve helped make my bedbound days brighter 👍🏻
This is the best game ever, When I was around 7 or 8 I remember playing this over and over again and I would never get past band land I would always just throw my controller at band land because I would always lose all my lives and start over

Amazing game, look at the drawing quality for a ps1 game you. This game is ART.
And every single music cue fit every scenario
this game is tart
You said the truth
But you're a scary joker.
Pennywise in it for the kids ofc
I miss this game so much! I long for the day they give the original Rayman the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro treatment, and bring this game back to life.
That would be one of the greatest moments in gaming
It doesn't need to be remade it is fine the way it is. Infact i would rather the newer games went back to this old style where Rayman didn't act like those darn Rabbids
The fact that i still have crash Twinsainty and the first spyro makes me happy as a 15 year old lol
