Fun beyone belief

I'm usually not a fan of platformers. Yes I've played Super Meat Boy here and there as well as the occasional Mario game but I'm far from what you'd consider a platformer fan but this game is incredibly fun! The music matches the game perfectly and the quirky animation is just amazing but what's even more amazing his how a game that has such a childish look, which is not a bad thing, can still present so much challenge. As I stated before I've played Super Meat Boy and this game has actually given me just as much challenge as SMB! This could just be due to my lack of skill but I honestly think this game is sweet enough for children but hard enough for a hardcore platformer fan.

2D Platformer at it's perfection

Not much to say. If you love 2D Sidescroller Platformer, you will love this one, it just perfect. Unlike many sidescrollers of the day which are 2D brawlers for the most part, or puzzle games, this one focus entirely in platforming skills, something we don't see all that much strangely enough. Needless to say, the graphics are stunning and the animations as polished as you could possible want, and the coolest thing for me is that it runs in pretty much anything. I was able to play it perfectly even on an HD3000.

Blend of old and new

This is the first Rayman game I've played and I was pleasantly surprised as to how good it was. Being a 90s kid I was brought up on classics like the Sonic games, Earthworm Jim, Castle of Illusion etc, I've played recent incarnations of Sonic like Sonic 4 part 1 and 2 and it's clear Sega forgot that what made Sonic so good back in the day was the near perfect level design and "physics", it's hard to put into words but the way the character moved and landed after jumps etc felt right, and the problem with new platformers is that they place enemies in random ill thought out positions leading to frustration. Rayman Origins has none of those issues, the animation is top notch, everything about the characters and level design feels really good, I prefer the sequel Rayman Legends as that seems to have a bit more of challenge, only sad thing is it's not on GOG so I'm having to put up with Ubisofts Uplay. Honesty if Rayman Legends came to GOG, I'd buy it again, the daily/weekly challenges that the game has really adds to longevity too
