Great game is all I can say. I have no idea why others hate it. Yes, keyboard arrangement can be a little weird, and it's fixed on the demo, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to get used to it. In fact after playing it for a bit, you'll see that it actually makes sense. The gameplay reminds me a lot of Beyond Good And Evil, which is a good thing, since no one seems to be bringing that title to the Mac. All in one, one great game. Too bad others don't think the same. It's one of the few game titles within these couple of years that actually make me want to buy it. And at the special price now, I don't see why not.

A word of advice: don't try this on anything less than a 1GHz G4 and Radeon 9000.

This seems like a very bare-bones demo. None of the usual options (controls, display, etc), and no directions. It just kind of dumps you into this bizarre world created for consols. After learning a bit of how to move and what drugs the creators must have been on to make this, Rayman is a bit of fun. I'm not sure if I'd buy it but I'm glad it's what it is instead of another game about war.

The game runs poorly on a 500mhz G4 but nicely on a 1.3 ghz G4.

Also one other thing I noticed, it looks beautiful in OS 9, wheres in 10, it runs at a lower resolution and bit depth..like 16 or 8 or something.

This is a pretty full fledged demo, with plenty of opportunities to get a feel for the game. The graphics are top notched for a platformer and the sound is good, though a bit low quality for my tastes. My biggest gripe is that a) the default controls are awful (since when is the "c" button a good default for jump and I can't remember the last time I actually used arrow keys for movement) and b) you can't change them. That immediately makes it a lot less fun to play, so much so that that would be the deciding factor for me in buying the game.
