  Beyond Good & Evil was an amazing game and I love rayman for the N64. I think I will buy this game.

  Maybe will be done with a better control system that fits with the DS.

  hopefully back to the 2D Rayman...the 3D Mario 64 clones were not very good.

  I agree with Zaraf, the Rayman for the NDS didn't work out that great. However, I loved the 2-D Rayman(s) for the GBA, and would love to see them on the DS.

  Beyond Good and Evil is indeed a great game...Though I haven't beaten it. So, I'm hoping this game will be good.
