Quick review: while having the choice to play the Rayman 1 port you like the most is cool, there is not much reason to play anything other than the PS1 port except for the novelty of it.

Even then, the sountrack has been altered: this new one was made by the same person who did the Origins/Legends soundtrack. While I love the soundtrack of those games, Remi Gazel's original soundtrack for Rayman 1 is iconic and it's a bit insulting to both the fans that grew up with it, as well as to Gazel himself who sadly passed away a few years ago, not to be able to toggle the original version. Compare Bongo Hills' original soundtrack with the new one, it's a completely different experience - why can I toggle between five different ports, but I'm unable to experience those games the way they were originally intended?

The hyped SNES prototype is the same rom that was dumped on the internet a decade ago. Nothing new to see here.

The artbook and dev commentary is cool, although the value for those things is subjective.

Overall, I'd say it's not worth the price of admission unless you really, really want to take a look at the bonus material bundled with the games. Either play the original PS1 game on Duckstation, or the fanmade remake Rayman Redemption.

Did they include the level editor from Designer/Gold or only the new levels? it wasn't clear in the description.

When I read Rayman I can immediately hear the song of the first level. Insane to replace the ost.

What about the 120 bonus levels? Do those make it worth it? I never heard of bonus levels for Rayman

PC Rayman had a level editor released for it a couple years after the main game, the 120 new levels were shipped with it (at least I assume these are the same).
