I feel like it holds up well, and was a much better introduction to the series than the first game. The art and atmosphere of the first game is incredible, and its design is deliberate, but it's a frustrating headache to play. This game is not nearly on the same difficulty level, and it benefits greatly from that.

The adventure is fun, the platforming is tight, and it makes combat in a platformer pretty fun - which is usually a tough thing to get right. I just love this weird world of Rayman.
