Rayman Origins

This game was clearly created with tender loving care and spades of passion. Wonderfully smooth and responsive platforming mechanics with gorgeously handdrawn backgrounds and animations and and music that fits the mood perfectly and and and all of it through highly diverse locales! It can get a bit hard but this one game in which you mind the effort. For once the consoles did not exclusively claim an excellent platformer

What can really be said about Rayman Origins? Well, it's a 2D platformer to start, not an easy one by any stretch of the imagination, either. Its locales are imaginative, striking and downright gorgeous in its chosen art style. Its controls are super tight and never let you down, even if you choose to play with the keyboard. If you enjoy platformers, you will love Rayman Origins, I can guarantee that.

This is my favorite platformer of the last several years (and probably the last several console generations). Great art, great music, fun and varied levels, lots of content. I paid $60 for this when it came out and I don't regret it at all -- it's a steal at this price.

I think Origins is the best Rayman (and platformer) game ever (so far). The first thing that usually attracts people is its amazing graphics. It has beautiful worlds, shiny visual effects, and lots of funny characters. It will look a lot more spectacular if you play it on large screen. There are a lot of worlds with different themes, such as jungle, desert, ice, culinary, mountains, temple, and sea. Each world has some levels with boss fight, bonus level, and some unique mini-game inside. We can choose between Rayman, Globox, and two teensies. Each of them has their own funny animations and moves that are very entertaining, especially globox's jiggly fat belly. The gameplay objective is pretty much simple, we rescue electoons, collect lums, fight the bad guys. In each world we will meet nymphs that will give us new powers, such as punching, swimming, and floating. The game is pretty hard but because of the good level design, visuals, and sounds, we will always have fun every time. Moreover, each level has their own unique design and you will be surprised with new things on every level. The soundtrack is so good. It has diverse range of sounds from exotic instruments (such as kazoo) mixed with orchestra, ukulele strums, and chipmunk-ish funny choir. This game will be a lot more fun (and hilariously chaotic) if you play it together with your friends. Plug in some gamepads and bring back peace to Glade of Dreams! A must buy game !
