Well, I've already said Rayman 2 is my favorite platformer ever (and I've played plenty of exceptional platformers), so you know what I'd say. The first Rayman game is really fun, but inexperienced. It's not all that different from the other platformers from the 90's. But Rayman 2 is just brilliant. I've gone on about how great it is in the past, and I don't feel like repeating myself, so suffice it to say that yes, it is most definitely worth getting.
Unless I'm greatly mistaken, none of the other Rayman-licensed games were made by Ancel. He was doing BG&E after Rayman 2, so they had someone else do the third one. It was a completely different style from the first two. Now, I've only played the demo, so I could be wrong about this, but that demo stunk. So I think you should stay away from 3. On the other hand, the GBA version of Rayman 3 wasn't really all that related to the console versions at all- instead, it took a lot of the things Ancel did in both the first two games and mashed them together into a 2D game. It actually was pretty fun, though unoriginal.
Anyway, he's back now. Yay!
