"Sonic R" walked so Rayman Arena could M. It's kindof an innovator of it's genre (consisting of like, 3 games total) with varied level designs with lots of alternate paths and mechanics, movesets that allow for skill expression to go top zoomies, the music changes depending on who's in first???? WHY did the genre die here when this game is so good???? I think more people need to play it, truely. Including me. I wanna play it again. It's a one-of-a-kind experience that more people gotta be aware of.

Also, for some reason, Ubisoft has support for Rayman Arena on their uPlay customer service despite it being available on 0 storefronts (except for like, the PS3) - including their own, it's not even on uPlay, which is so funny. Let's fix that. Globox moment.
I would love for them to give the game a chance for the simple fact that it never received an "official" release in digital stores, preventing the reach of knowledgeable and new players of the franchise, It's an excellent spin-off!
Still to this day I am shocked this has not got a modern port that supports online multiplayer / some form of server browser, it's such a fun co op type game and needs to be experienced by more people
This game I used to play when at home after school (actually elementary school good old days). There were a lot of joys, excitements but my computer at that point just pretty low-end with Radeon GPU around 64MB of VRAM combine with 128/256 MB of RAM? and Pentium III or IV? It was barely runnable when everything on lowest settings. Few years later my computer upgraded to 512 MB of RAM, Asus G41M motherboard and Intel Pentium Dual Core E8400 with i-gpu only.
I remember playing this game at my cousin's. The diverse cast of characters with their own themes and abilities really brought this party game together. I believe there weren't many game modes, but the varied maps did keep things intriguing.
Can't believe the genre never went further for Rayman, but at least this game deserves a proper digital re-release.
Rayman Arena was my first video game so it has a special place in my heart. On top of that it was a pretty fun multiplayer game with atmospheric locations and banger music. It had a lot of charm. Plus racing games where you run on foot are more of a rarity to kart racers so I think it has value just for that.
Had an absolute blast 100%ing the single player modes as a kid. Even without friends to play with this game was a ton of fun, would love to be able to play it again on a modern PC (fan patches exist but have never quite worked for me)

The information for each character's back story, major plot points, and general information on the universe of Senran Kagura is displayed in what is called the "novel", and is structured similarly to a visual novel. The novel is introduced at major plot points in the game story.
The main gameplay consists of battling through the world of the story. As the game progresses, the player's character levels up and gains new moves and abilities, and in-game content such as art work, achievements, music, costumes (of which there are 180), and new characters are unlocked. The game is split into 5 chapters, with each chapter containing a number of main missions as well as optional missions. Once a story mission is complete, the mission can be played again with any of the unlocked characters.
