    good chapters design, good music and ...
    but there is some problems with gameplay for example in some condition there is a jumping problem when you are moving.

    The beautiful artwork and buttery smooth platforming adds up to a good reboot in every sense, even if it eventually gets long and repetitive for older players.

Es un juego muy pulido a nivel visual y a nivel jugable, aunque pueda parecer genérico de momentos, la jugabilidad frenética logra que te olvides de esto, y los niveles de perseguir el tesoro están muy bien diseñados. Son instancias muy divertidas y la vas a pasar muy bien. La dificultad ascendiente y la exploración para conseguir skins también es un punto muy positivo (quitando el hecho de que las skins son pocas, y esta todo lleno de simples recolores). Sin embargo, critico el excesivo ensayo y error que tienen el juego, especialmente en el ultimo nivel... Y la falta de modo online para el modo cooperativo. La historia tampoco me gusto. Si bien agradezco que hayan traído de vuelta a Betilla y a los electoons del Rayman 1 después de mucho tiempo... Que paso con el Rayman tierno, valiente y serio del Rayman 2?! No por nada termino siendo mi Rayman favorito de todos. Este tiene el universo y jugabilidad perfecta de la saga.
    Como sea, Rayman Origins a pesar de sus fallos, es uno de mis videojuegos de plataformas favoritos, básicamente es el regreso de Rayman! Rayman es una saga para quedarse :)    … Expand

    I would say even 8.5/10.
    As a 2D platformers and co-op fan, I have to admit I love this game. The only reason I gave it "only" 8.5/10 is that "Rayman Legends" is just better in every way and it deserved one point higher score.
    The visuals and music are top-notch and I sometimes still listen to the ost. It was really a fun experience to play it in co-op mode. It is not an ideal co-op    I would say even 8.5/10.

    It was really a fun experience to play it in co-op mode. It is not an ideal co-op game as a second player often makes things harder instead of making it easier, but still one of the best co-ops I can recommend.
    One of the best things about Rayman Origins is level-design. Every level has its own style, own challenges, opponents and mechanics.
    When someone is asking me about fun platformer I always am recommending Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends.    … Expand

    Genialmente diseñado, con unos controles estupendos. Rayman se mueve de maravilla, y los niveles están vivos. Además, el juego es muy bonito y el aspecto visual ha sido muy cuidado. La banda sonora también es muy buena.

    What rayman game series should be most praised for is the soundtrack. Every single song works and each are masterpieces. after that come character designing, colorful levels and controls. It's been months rayman is my regular and daily game that I like to spend a little time with.

    It's one of the stupidest games I've ever played! Visually the game is great, but it's pretty dumb and stupid with no real story and satisfaction at the end. All you do is just run around collect stuff and you die all the time! To complete a two minute level you have to try and run through it a million times until you perfect every little jump and move, which is very-very frustrating.

To complete a two minute level you have to try and run through it a million times until you perfect every little jump and move, which is very-very frustrating. I don't remember another game where I had so many moments when I just wanted to smash my gamepad against the monitor. The only satisfaction I got from the game is that it is quite challanging and when you complete something that's challanging it feels good, but I'd rather do math or something else meaningful rather than this meaningless jumping and running. Maybe some people like this kind of games, but I personally don't
    Overall, not a very pleasant experience and I wouldn't have played it if I knew what this game was.    … Expand

    The presentation in this game is fantastic. The music has a creative style and helps build atmosphere, and the artwork is some of the most creative I've seen in a video game, at some points directly affecting the level design.

And about the level design - it's carefully made so that each level feels different from another, they don't just blend together. The controls are very good, for lack of a better word. The way Rayman's moves are designed combined with the level design makes it fun and extremely satisfying to speedrun through all the levels, and you never feel like you need to blame the controls. The thing that might turn some people away from this game is the difficulty, which some players may not be used to (if you're new to Rayman you will find yourself retrying certain levels a LOT) but the difficulty isn't a problem to people experienced with platformers. If you are a fan of free-flowing 2D platformers I seriously recommend this game to you.… Expand

    Super fun game. Hilarious plot (the badguy's motivation behind starting the chaos is that Rayman and his friends were snoring too loud). Who knew that it was possible to make a playable slapstick cartoon? Super high def cartoon sprites are nice to look at. Level design is pretty decent. It's no Mario, but then again Mario isn't hilarious.

    I sincerely have nothing to complain about it!
    The game is great, at all points, the gameplay, the '"flow", level design, the graphics, animations, everything! Very good for kids and families, easy to play, and although kid-friendly, it's not just for kids, the game is great! I Played it and i LOVED it! I recommend it a lot, it's a hell of a fun experience for a "low" price!

    Un dibujo animado interactivo con una jugabilidad similar al primer Rayman de PS1, el único problema es que en ciertas ocasiones se ralentiza un poco. En lo personal prefiero los juegos de plataformas en 2D como en la época de los 16 bits y esto es un aire fresco mezclado con nostalgia que da como resultado un juego muy entretenido.

    This game is definitelly 10 out of 10, however there's a newer better version called Rayman Legends that has all Origins levels in it so you are better off buying Rayman Legends instead.

    Had a blast with this game. Fun for all ages. Although lacking graphics (from Legends atleast) It's still a fun experience to go through. You can unlock characters but are just reskins of Rayman, Globox and the Teensies. MUST BUY

    Yet another great game by Ubisoft. Really everything in this game music, controls, colorful graphics, characters is loveable and carefully designed. I finished it in 2 players local co-op and it was extremely fun. And one last think, do not be fooled by graphics, the game is really hard to beat but on the way you enjoy it!

    A well-written story could have transformed Rayman Origins into a beautiful fairytale. Without it, it's an incredibly fun ride and a great party game.

    Rayman Origins re-introduces an intense freshness to a genre that many gamers chose to remember by a couple of well-known brand names that monopolize interest… and the rest consider long dead. It delivers many hours of pure fun (and some discomfort for completionists) and does that in the best way possible. [May 2012]
