With the arrival of the PlayStation, 32-bit gaming was brought to the mainstream. Sony's console was a total game-changer for the industry, sweeping aside Sega and Nintendo's 16-bit consoles in the process.
Although the PS1 paved the way for the 3D revolution, the console's advanced hardware capabilities also meant that the more traditional 2D games received a noticeable upgrade in terms of graphics, sound and production values. One such title is Rayman, a title designed originally for the Atari Jaguar, but ported to a range of platforms, including PS1, Sega Saturn and MS-DOS PCs (which is the version I owned).
The game's story begins with the evil Mr Dark stealing the Great Protoon, a mystical entity that brings peace and harmony to the world. With the Great Protoon gone, small creatures known as Electoons that used to orbit the Protoon have become susceptible to Mr Dark's corrupting influence. Rayman must recover the Great Protoon and rescue the Electoons from various locations across the world in order to store balance to the world.
Throughout his quest, Rayman will encounter Betilla the Fairy, guardian of the Great Protoon and and a powerful ally in Rayman's quest. Betilla will bestow new skills upon Rayman, enabling him to run, hang from ledges and to use his fists as a weapon with which to defeat foes. Only by unlocking new skills can Rayman hope to find and recover the caged Electoons within each of the game's levels.
The first and most important of these skills is the punch, allowing Rayman to wind up his fists and unleash them in a long range punch. Not only is this an offensive move, it can also be used to grab certain items such as bonus lives, or to swing from special flying rings (once you've learned the swing skill).
Each of the game's levels contains a total of 6 Electoon cages to find, many of them hidden from plain or sight, or located in hard-to-reach places. Simply punching a cage is enough to shatter it, releasing the caged Electoons inside and a visual indicator appearing to update the player on how many cages have been recovered in this particular area. It is possible to replay each level as many time as possible to seek out and recover any missed cages at a later date, with several cages in the earlier stages being impossible to reach without unlocking newer skills much later in the game.
Scattered throughout each of the game's stages are strange blue orbs called Tings (presumably named after the sound they make when collected). Collecting 100 Tings will result in an extra life being awarded and also act as a form of currency, paying the Magician for the chance to earn an extra life in one of the game's many bonus stages.
On the subject of difficulty, Rayman is not only one of the most difficult games in the platforming genre, it's one of the most challenging games I've ever played and is by no means a "casual" title. Much of the game's difficulty comes from some truly devious level design - from death by falling out the bottom a level to insta-death spike pits and masochistic traps, Rayman is never more than a couple of steps from certain doom. This is the kind of game where success comes only after hours and hours of practice, learning the layout of each level, enemy positions and how to deal with the various traps that appear throughout.
Fortunately, the game has a handy save feature for those equipped with a memory card, as well a password system for those who don't - this at least means that players don't have to worry about losing progress, especially as this is quite a long game and will need plenty of practice to beat it.
Despite being over 20 years old, the graphics, artwork and animation are of an especially high standard, and, 320 x 240 resolution aside, could easily pass as a modern game (a possible candidate for an HD remake?).
Since the game was distributed on CD-ROM, the developers made use of the space available by including introduction and ending video sequences, as well a fully mastered audio soundtrack. The soundtrack comprises music backing, as well as ambient and atmospheric effects that change throughout the course of each level. Whilst the FM synthesis and MOD/sample based audio was good for the days of the 16-bit era, the CD medium and sound hardware present in the PS1, Saturn and modern PCs of the day eclipsed anything that came before.
For those gamers who enjoy a really stiff challenge then Rayman is sure to provide hours and hours of entertainment. There are plenty of secrets and hidden items to be found and it will take many hours before you'll beat all of the game's levels.
Whilst some might find the game's difficulty something of a turn-off, Rayman remains a gorgeous looking game with top-notch production values and presentation that is well worth checking out.

Update September 2020 - This longplay is now available in 4K here: czcams.com/video/HYVToE-8R_M/video.html
3.5 hours LOL
Probably the best quality gameplay out there! ;)
Is this compatible with PlayStation 2?
Y you
@@szymon6207 Yuuyyj
this was a hard game. never managed to beat it when i was a kid
Same
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
@@danielhenderson762 They made them shits aged 7-38 or so it seemed tbh.
Besides this game had like 87 levels.
@British Bulldog Lol forreal Crash was a kids game
It was never tested before releasing it so they basically made an impossible game haha
The sound design in this game is pretty underrated.
This game as a whole is underrated.
@@VampireA1056 eh not really. Rayman is still one of the most recognised platforming franchises
@@dreamcastdazia4753 I'm not talking about the franchise, I'm talking about this game specifically.
this is one of the few games that actually made me cry because the music, 3:17:55 always gets me in tears
j
This was the best Rayman
Ronov Rayman 3 says hello
Rayman Origins would like a word with you, my friend
I like this more than the new Raymans even though I only played the new ones
@@michaelpr1818 rayman 2 says hello
Rayman 3 was my favourite,
this one is the hardest
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.
HELP i played this game on PS2 but i cant find the PS2 Version
I'll say; even Ray himself isn't spared a serious downgrade in Rayman: Legends!
@@biku1001 sure it wasn't just the ps1 version you played on ps2?
The music is also up there with some of the other PS1 greats, like spyro and castlevania sotn
100 agreed
That "YEAHH" at the end of each level
Timestamp
@@user-jz5mx5ye9y 4:49
How about the "Heh heh! Heh heh heh!" *Shines*
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
@@JoshuaDZ 4:50
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...
Literally in the process of that right now, stuck at cave of skops
Did you play the one on the video? How! My husband has a PS4 and I need to play this game I loved it so much
Oh my god I need to do that too
Hoooow?!!! I need to play this game! Please
@@PaulinaBonanni get a ps1 emulator.
I will forever love the art of this game!!
NOOT NOOT🤬😡
@@paolomarrone6637tf
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.
i wish they would Remaster Rayman 1.. like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. This game was my childhood...
Why remaster? It's still gorgeous looking.
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.
The new ones look gorgeous also.
How could you find it again??
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.
I maybe spent a minute or 2, not 20 though.
😂
3 hours of watching this entertained me more than watching any movie.
Watching what?
@@yington The game recording that we're commenting on?
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.
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
Am I the only one who puts this on to sleep to? The sound effects, the music.. It's just, pure nostalgia joy. It puts my mind at ease.
I used to shit myself on the water rising level.
Me too lol
And the music made it no better lol used to panic
This game gave me major anxiety haha!
That level drove me nut ! Never went through it 😭
"Aaaaah bush-a-bush-abush!"
This game was my entire childhood!
My dad and I could never get past the final level.
No game can surpass this in my eyes
it was a ridiculously hard game for children
I know right??? Not to mention if Rayman died too many times the game would reset from the beginning, added to that Gameboy Advance screen, ughhhh!!
I never completed. Not even as an adult yet
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
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
And donkey Kong country
The soundtrack to this is just fire
Fr
That sound clip that plays at the end of every level perfectly summarizes what the 90's were like
This truly is perhaps the hardest title to complete on the ps1 let alone complete without taking a single hit.. masterfully done!! (Y)
Resident Evil Director's Cut is inhuman!
Im a 28 year old grown ass man and im getting pissy over the music land level grrr this game is infuriating.
what about digimon world
@@Ojthemighty you's gotta play Rayman Redemption then, old sport!
@@Mike14264 redemption?
I loved that Rayman's very first enemy became his friend and sidekick.
This game was literally my childhood.
This game forever changed my childhood. The story the difficulty and especially the music.....best game ever.
Rayman’s soundtrack is so amazing 🤩
Absolutely love this gem of a game its a shame not many people review it
if reviewers cant beat the tutorial in cuphead they dont stand a chance at rayman XD
HELP i played this game on PS2 but i cant find the PS2 Version
@@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.
@@biku1001 you probably used a ps1 game and backwards-compatibility
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.
I remember playing this as a teenager, took me weeks to complete it.
I'm 21. I first played this in 2002 when I was 4. I still haven't completed it... I live in the hope that someday I will
me: damn this music is so atmospheric, I can’t wait to see what each area brings to the table-
the art-themed world: *dead silence*
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.
I remember owning this on PC back in the 90s. Such fond memories
cant remember how many controllers i smashed because of band land
Kargo yes 😆😆😆
Allegro Presto and Space Mama's Crater are my hated levels
@@3rdmonocle789 i played it with 10...now i'm 26 and "Allegro presto" is triggering me :D
@@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).
I'm still there and it's been 6 YEARS SINCE!!!!!
Aw man, when I was a kid, I developed a love for mosquitoes because of this game. I even bought a mosquito doll and cuddle all night
What?
Peculiar...
Lol this made me laugh out loud for real but I can sort of relate even though I haven't actually done that.
Don't do that. Mosquitoes are evil.
Only a mosquito would say something like that.
PS1 intro music and UBISOFT intro music is legit the most nostalgic sounds.
Music to this game was on another level
The whole thing is a polished masterpiece, absolutely brilliant gameplay, beautiful graphics combined with well-composed and constructed music. Absolute perfection.
I dropped an acid tab an hour ago and I’m now watching this hooked up to my tv
Never been able to finish the game as a Kid and you have this guy getting 100%, no Death, no Damage.
Protoons and electoons... wait a second.
WAS THIS GAME TRYING TO TEACH ME CHEMISTRY IN THE OPENING CUTSCENE?!!
there was a time in my life when rayman's password sheet was the most important thing
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 !!
Mr Skopps? He is litteraly the easiest boss in the whole game lol
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.
Thanks so much for uploading, I couldn't ever finish Rayman and this was done in style!!
I got Rayman for my son, he's 25 now. I still have his ps1 and the Rayman disc, I will never get rid of it, the graphics and music is so underrated.
I recommend playing the sequels like rayman 2&3 along with origins and legends
This brings me back to good memories! Little me playing this, it was the world for me sooo nostalgic thank you for this upload! 🤗💖💖
The first rayman game is awesome.
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.
My childhood omg 😭♥️
One of the greatest game of all time.
I never beat this game, but I always enjoyed playing it. It is so gorgeous.
I could swear "Rayman" is just a mispronunciation of either "Raymond" or "Reamoinn".
Because the game is so freaking unfair 😭
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..
Graphics improved and rayman got older tbh i wish but this game was in 1997😍😍
I used to listen to the soundtrack while studying in middle school.
I wonder how it feels to be this good at gaming.
You would find actual normal enjoyable games boring.
Real good
@@GameKai51 where do you see that?
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.
You sound like you don't like it?
You’re a master at this game. You’ve memorised every single location, and I’m impressed.
@@GameKai51 lol
I absolutely loved watching my brother play this game, so pigmented and the drawing always captivated me!! He never finnished though, good times!!💕💕😍
Nice to know there a girl that love this game
@@paulpatti8184 there are several 😒
This game desperately needs an PS4/5 and/or Switch port! I'm in love with its artstyle+music since 1995.
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.
@@GalaxyGirl5 what was incredible to watch
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!
This game was so ahead of its time. It honestly looks like a modern day game for 2020. That's how gorgeous this game is
I remember the first DOS versions had some impressive graphics before the time of 3dfx.
Well, Rayman Redemption did release in 2020, so that definitely checks out! 🤣
It’s been a pleasure watching this video, childhood nostalgia brings smiles from this thank you. 😊
Start up is the greatest of all systems. Gives me chills it’s so nostalgic.
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.
MY CHILDHOOD OMG! I played this so much on my gameboy that the game got worn out and stopped working.
The soundtrack to this game goes so hard omg
Who would have guessed the magician would be in league with Mr. Dark
AHHH THE MEMORIES! The CD-Rom used to be gray at the front and had a black back.
Yep at least the Platinum release!
Wonderful. The hardest game I ever played and managed to finish.
Nice to see I wasn't the only one thinking this game was hard as a kid. Would love to give it a go now!
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
Why did you think that way?
your teachers are under 28? what are you in, preschool? lol. they need to get more adult teachers where you go.
Oh those were the days, back when there were no psychotic bunnies who scream over literally everything.
LOL i still love them tho
I used to play this with my girlfriend, we unfortunately broke up but I still come here to have a little blast from the past.
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 🙏🏽
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!
The greatest game of all time. Me and my dad played it again when we were quarantined and it was still as hard as ever.
Proud day when I completed this game. Can just breathe in the nostalgia. Very happy times ❤
Absolutely fantastic game. Might be my favourite Rayman game. This or Legends.
My whole childhood was revolved around this game
Thanks. Takes me back being 10 and watching my MOM rock this! They really should bring him back
Same! I also was around 10 and watched my mom play it on pc
13:37 major anxiety
Thank you for the beautiful preservation of a legendary game.
This game is the most gorgeous looking and most wonderful sounding game to ever be complete bullshit. I still love it though
You know whats Bullshit is loseing the game
@@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"
i used to fucking cry about this game being to hard when i was a kid, fuck those were some stressful days
Nostalgie 😢💞
🎶Nos-tal-gie...Nostalgie!🎶
Lmao
That ps1 bootup is the cleanest I've ever heard!
Overlandlord I agree. The PS1 had the best and most memorable bootup sound of all the consoles
2023 rewatching this gameplay brings me tons of memorys❤
The difficulty of this game was insanely hard. Never could clear the game
Nostalgic I can just feel those feelings back in the day..fantastic game...
Is it just me, but when you punch those rock dudes in Blue Mountains and they fall down they sound like Mr Herbert from Family Guy? Also the faces when they go down is pure hilarious 🤣🤣
1 and 2 was my ultimate faves. Been playing 2 tonight and wanted to revisit the 1st one while im taking a break. Thanks for the video upload :)
35:30 that mosquito scared and stressed me so much when i was a kid XD
Everytime I saw "no problem" in my head, this is the voice I hear 2:07
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one.
And unbalavable from Rayman 2.
Oh my god the theme music was instant nostalgia thank you for this
This game was solid. Brings back memories.
Back when Ubisoft was a struggling company, and not a multi-billion dollar villan.
This was Literally, My Favorite Childhood Video Game and How I miss that Great Playstation Game
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!
Dude, you just made me go up to the attic and bring my PS1 and old CRT-TV down to play this!
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?
When does he say that?
@@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
@@forzenfukuroanimations that's him coughing or clearing his throat
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.
Watching this brought back some great memories. When I was a kid I used to play this game with my cousins in Texas. Being a 90s kid was the best.
You got skills! This was one of my favourites as a kid this game
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
Same!
Thank you for sharing a video about this fabulous game.
By the way, you are a very good player, you rock !
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!
Did you use codes or save states?
@@chesspunk489 Save states but only saved while in World menu! Otherwise it would have been considered "cheating" vs OG PS1 gameplay.
I just love the art in this game, everything is so colorful/vibrant and creative!
Damn these sounds. 10/10 Flashbacks :c ♥
