I think that there are only 3 series of platformers where there are legitimately no bad main series games: Mario, Kirby and Rayman. However, where Mario and Kirby keep things the same every single time these days, Rayman has done something different almost every single time (even Legends had a faster pace than Origins). It pays off! Mario envies it's creativity in level design, Sonic is jealous of it's perfect controls, Mega Man resents it's colourful and vibrant aesthetics. Part of the reason for this is because they rarely make new games (he's had 5 new main series games in 22 years), it keeps things creative and fresh. If you were to compare Rayman 2 to its rivals in the year of release (Donkey Kong 64, Sonic Adventure), it easily beats them. Don't just buy this one. Buy them all! NOW!
