Infuriatingly, punishingly difficult, but that added to an experience in it's own right.

I played this game as a child and couldn't get past the first musical stage, which makes complete sense. I gave it another go on the Playstation Classic after hearing about it's reputation as one of the most difficult games of all time, but only started having fun when I began using the 99 lives cheat. This helped me relax a bit, but truth be told, I got so angry throughout Rayman. I am proud I managed to complete it, but this would have been impossible without the lives cheat and a guide for all the lums in totally unrealistic locations.

The art style and the music are fantastic, some of the best on the PS1.
