Well what the fuck? How can it be that bad? I'm still going to wait for the reviews but this really sucks to hear. Glad I didn't open the game lol.

You posted a non-working link, as that particular fansite is blocked here. It's almost always a better idea to link to the source than to a news aggregator, anyway.
To add to the confusion, here are some conflicting impressions from one of the overly numerous general 3DS threads here:

Why the hell would a single review hold so much sway? Geez. Maybe it'll end up with a 90 on Metacritic and this is the sole outlier, scoring it low because "Ubisoft has ported too many games, we scored it low to make a statement."

Will there be French-like gibberish or voice acting?

That's what I'm thinking, maybe he doesn't like the fact that it drops framerate or something. I don't ever just listen to one reviewer because his views could be different on why it's a bad port. I rather listen to more people who said something good about it, then one person saying something bad about it.

Oh man...say it ain't so. I guess we'll find out in a couple of days, the real verdict of this port.
But if it's truly as bad as described, shame on Ubisoft for not being able to port a dreamcast/N64 game on the 3DS while being acceptable. What's the excuse? It's not like it's demanding or has one of the best graphics ever seen :/

Well I for one am completely and totally SHOCKED to find out that a game made by Ubisoft turned out to be terrible.
UncleSporky said:
Usually I would agree with you, in an abstract world. But in this concrete world this particular publisher has a background story of unpolished games and extremely unpolished launch games, particularly on recent Nintendo platforms. The reactions are understandable... even more so when we consider that the same title was already ported to the DS and it was basically unplayable because of its controls.
Personally I hope the port is not so bad as those comments suggest, not because I am going to buy the game (not even buying the 3DS for a while) but because Rayman 2 is a great game that deserves a better treatment on a platform that is obviously capable enough for it. I think that publishers like Ubisoft should consider that unlike others (Nintendo, but not only), they do not have that many games in their back-catalog that can be considered a "classic". Rayman 2 is on that level and it is very sad to see what they did with it on the DS and quite reasonable to be very scared when hints about the 3DS release being a low-quality port arise.
Well there's always 4DS amirite or amirite?Cow Mengde said:
Ubisoft is playing all of you, if you keep falling for it theyll keep making money this way. But hey, I hear Rayman DSiware is pretty good, it's got a map and everything. Everyone should buy it since it's performance is great
How is that not for the best?bridegur said:

AGH damn you impressions!! I keep wanting to read only good things about Rayman to justify my purchase, but since Ngamer talked shit about it I got worried. Well here's something to ease all of our minds for a bit (I posted this the other day because it sounded like he played Rayman, but apparently he just got it today):
Stuff that I posted yesterday, but these aren't impressions, he hadn't played it when he posted this.
He just posted this on his forum after playing it for the first time
Man I dont know, I think I'm gonna go off what this guy, and the other people have said about Rayman, instead of what Ngamer said. Just wait before returning it people, chances are that it can still be a decent port.

I'm not sure what Ngamer were looking for, but I've played the hell out of the Dreamcast version and this is looking and playing quite well to me so far. Long way to go, but I'm just not seeing all of the complaints they brought up. To each his own, though.
And yes, I'll have the review of Rayman 3D up on Friday morning.

Yup =\ It seems like so far he's the only one who hasn't liked it, but most other people have had a pretty good time with the game. Not saying hes wrong, since it's his opinion, but I think people shouldn't take his comments as serious as the people who are actually excited about Rayman.

Yeah, it very well could be. I bet it's still an alright pick up for people who actually WANT the game.

Don't know honestly, never read the site till yesterday, but he gave Pilotwings an 8/10. Seems reasonable to me just based on that game.

Lol? Not sure if your joking, but IGN just gave RR an 8.

Or maybe 3DS isn't much faster than a Dreamcast, so requires extra time to coax the speed from it. Don't forget the Dreamcast and the XBox were the same generation of game system.dark10x said:
I'm buying this game simply based on the fact that a lot of gaffers rated past iterations so high. However, I know how gaffer's work, they usually build up the game so high or shoot it down so low. I'm purchasing this game with the mentality that it will be a good game. I'm not expecting it to be excellent and I'm also not expecting it to be terrible.

Bought it, reviews be damned!
I figure this is probably the best launch game for me, I want a good little adventure game, not a fighter, not mini-games. Man, I can't wait to try this Sunday morning.
Or, I will trade it after reviews on Friday haha ... but I really, really, really don't want to.

They really weren't. The XBOX was significantly more capable than the Dreamcast.Dreamwriter said:
Furthermore, Rayman 2 was hardly pushing the Dreamcast. There were many other much more demanding games for the platform.
The 3DS seems to be roughly on par with something like the Gamecube but with more advanced shader capabilities (something the DC had no support for, of course). It definitely seems like a faster machine.

Okay I think I'm done with this stuff until Friday, so that we can get an ACTUAL review. Here's a few other tweets about it though:
Tom is one of the other guys who posted about how he really liked Rayman 3DS after playing it.

I LOL'd @ "surprisingly decent little platformer" when it's considered one of the best of all time in its genre.

My feeling is that this game is going to have issues but not nearly enough of them to make it less fun if you liked the original.
Rayman purists will hate on it possibly but everyone else will really like it.
Keep in mind, I base this on nothing but what we have heard.

Oh GAF. One person's impressions and already you jump off the bandwagon.
I'm not saying this port will be good - knowing Ubi, it'll probably be shit - but I find it laughable that a single person can sway your purchase.
Even the greatest games have their detractors.
