    There is nothing other than the word PERFECTION to describe this game. I bought it for my fiancee' and instantly we both spent all night playing it. We just stopped... and can't wait to have 4 people in on the action.

The controls are pinpoint precise, and allows the player full control over Rayman. The story is alright, but what would you expect from this type of game? There are over 100 levels, including 40 remastered levels from Rayman Origins. The replay value is excellent. Two player co-op is awesome and is recommended to get the most fun out the game. Anything over two players gets dicey. There is an old expression...to many chefs spoil the stew---and that same saying applies to this game. The pure fun factor of this game harkens back to the enjoyment of the old school NES games. The game is challenging, but not frustrating. The music levels are some of the most creative levels I have ever experienced playing video games (and this goes back to the Atari 2600/ Colecovision). I fully recommend this game to anybody who owns a PS3. This is a must have for your collection. You will NOT be disappointed!… Expand

    Ridiculously fun sound design and gameplay is perfect. Loved Rayman Origins as well, but this seriously improves upon the formula. Hopefully this series will achieve the commercial success that it deserves and not just be a niche game.

    This game is refreshing and really good fun. The most impressive aspect is how many different types of gameplay they've managed to squeeze into each of the different worlds.

    Rayman, you started of as a simply fun and enjoyable platformer for the PS1, you then made the jump into 3-D with Rayman 2:The Great escape (a game I am still to play all the way through), Rayman 3 was...to me very good, very very good! Creative and beautiful art design and unique method of power-ups (by the way these power-ups are awesome). Personally I think the 'Rabbids stuck about forRayman, you started of as a simply fun and enjoyable platformer for the PS1, you then made the jump into 3-D with Rayman 2:The Great escape (a game I am still to play all the way through), Rayman 3 was...to me very good, very very good! Creative and beautiful art design and unique method of power-ups (by the way these power-ups are awesome). Personally I think the 'Rabbids stuck about for a bit too long in my opinion. So It was about time Rayman made a pure Rayman game, and boy was it worth it!!!

    Rayman legends combines a clever and gorgeous art style, with the good old Rayman formula we know and love. I'm not going to compare it to 'Origins' simply because I have never played 'Origins' but if it's anything like this game sign me up! This may be my favorite platformers this year, the way you control Rayman is floaty but he stills feel very 'real' If you know what I mean. He does genuinely feel like Rayman again with the long traveling punches and the way he jumps. The soundtrack is perfect, there's no other way to describe it. it's just perfect! It makes you happy or it makes you pumped and ready for more of the game. The story is great, I won't mention it for the sake of spoilers but believe me when I say it's good.

    The only real downsides I have with this game is that the difficulty of this game seems to be two different extremes; very easy or very challenging. The levels as fun as they are full of enemies that die in one weak punch, personally I'd prefer it if the enemies were a little tougher, also the secrets for me at least were fairly easy to find. And then it gets tough by giving you challenges where you have to react quickly, but as long as you have the right control scheme you'll be fine. Overall I'd say pick this game up for a fantastic platformer, a fantastic Rayman game, and for some like, a big blast of nostalgia.    … Expand

I got to a certain part in the game and I couldn't wait until the game was over.. I did however like the ledged levels, they felt like something different....I also really liked the time limit levels, those reminded me of when you had like 60 seconds left in Mario bros to finish the level, felt nice...It's a decent platformer and gets the job done, but I do not think the game is perfect by far. I really liked how difficult some areas can be though, considering a lot of games these days are easy, I like that....I give it an 8... it's good, but not the best..… Expand

    Rayman Legends is simply one of the most beautiful, fun, & engaging games ever made. The controls are responsive and intuitive. I haven't had as much fun with a video game in a long time. Rayman Legend's art style is at times astonishingly animated, and simply beautiful. The musical score is terrific, a perfect accompaniment to the adventure.

    Amazing and crazy platformer. The only negative is the UPlay system, which is a mess and feels totally unnecessary. It's the best Rayman to date nonetheless, and certainly one of the top platformers of the year!

    It's good to know there are still game developers who create platformers with as much passion as Ubisoft. Like its predecessor, Rayman Legends focuses mainly in simple yet effective platform gameplay, with an unique art style that mixes both traditional and digital art, 2D and 3D. The music is incredible, Cristopher Hèral and Billy Martin took Rayman Original Score to a new level.

The levels are great in numbers and very different from one another, making hard for me to define which was my favorite, since they are all add some ingredient to the mix. The Musical Levels are a clever addition to the series, and they could shine on their own, but there was such need for Ubisoft to add at least five more of these kind of stages. The downside: Playing RAyman Legends with your friends in a couch its a fun affair, but it may get messy and players can spoil one another. Over all, Rayman Legends is one of the best platformers of this generation, a fun game for all ages and something a good old school gamers should surely enjoy.… Expand

    Rayman Legends Improves on everything in Rayman Origins, which i thought was impossible seeing how good that game was. The graphics look lots better, the gameplay is smoother and more fun, the music and sound effects are perfect, there is heaps more content with more levels, challanges and minigames. I could go on and on about how good this game is.
    Easily one of the best games i have played,

Mejorando los gráficos y añadiendo nuevas mecánicas jugables como los niveles musicales que considero, una de las cosas mas innovadoras en un juego de plataformas hasta la fecha, luego del salto al 3D, hacen de este un juego que destaca! No un juego genérico como pueda parecer a simple vista. También en contenido aumento muchísimo, tenes un modo online con desafíos diarios que increíblemente siguen activos después de 7 años, un sistema de subir de nivel, mas coleccionables, etc. Sin embargo, no todo es bueno. Desgraciadamente. Sigue cometiendo errores de Rayman Origins, como la historia mala que pone a personajes nuevos como si fueran de antaño (que esto ya se venia trayendo de Rayman 2, pero acá es peor, ya que encima sacaron a los electoons y a Betilla. Y eso que volvió a aparecer después de muchos años en el anterior juego!), o el hecho de que el diseño de niveles no es tan interesante como el de Rayman Origins. Aunque esto no se si contarlo como un fallo, ya que se puede jugar algunos niveles de Rayman Origins (cosa que me parece un detallazo aunque es una pena que no estén los Electoons) y los niveles musicales son excelentes (de hecho, los mejores de todo el juego), pero son muy pocos. Te dan muchas ganas de jugar mas. Y por ultimo, quería comentarles sobre otra de las mecánicas jugables de este juego.... Murphy... Murphy es... terrible... Al menos en esta versión, ya que no es táctil. Tener que activar a Murphy con el botón circulo puede llegar a ser muy difícil en zonas donde vayas muy rápido, ya que te distraes y encima cada 2 segundos el tío insiste en que lo uses. Muy irritante! Arruinaron a Murphy en este juego... El punto mas negativo sin duda alguna. Y al igual que el anterior, muchos niveles son solo ensayo y error, sin habilidad alguna...
    En resumen, Rayman Legends es una mejora substancial de la entrega anterior y lo recomiendo TOTALMENTE, tanto para los fans de los juegos de plataformas como para los que jugaron las entregas anteriores de la franquicia, aunque también es cierto que es peor en algunas cosas, como el diseño de niveles no tan interesante en algunos niveles del Legends (especialmente los que abusan excesivamente del ensayo y error), el uso de Murphy o el haber arruinado la narrativa poniendo personajes super desconocidos y cambiándoles la personalidad a los existentes. Por estas razones, sigo pensando que si bien Rayman Legends y Origins son excelentes, no superan en mi opinión a mi favorito que es Rayman 2 que ese tenia mejor trama, presentaba mejor el mundo de Rayman, tenia la jugabilidad mas pulida y ademas estaba adelantado para su época. Uno de los mejores plataformeros en PS3 sin duda alguna.
    Pd: Me hubiera gustado un montón un juego de Rayman con solamente niveles musicales... Se tendría que aprovechar... de verdad.    … Expand

I should say Rayman Legend is masterpiece of platformer Firstly I did not enjoy how some elements of the game are changed in terms of gameplay mechanics. such as the Lums the shiny big ones that were in Origins) or the flying with fly levels and stuff are removed and the whole gameplay is replaced by some better stuff.

    the game does offers some levels where we are given chance to take control of the frog and the rayman through the level, these sorts of levels really gives an interesting amount of variety to the overall gameplay but they can not go too fast as controlling both characters in a same time would be confusing and hard. The variety of the levels are much more, the art direction is simply fantastic, the gameplay never becomes boring and simply it is one of the best platform games I have ever seen. I totally recommend this to anyone, with its price tag it does offer more than you expect:)    … Expand

    Does the gameplay live up to the impressive graphics? Yes, to some extent. The graphics are often wacky and wildly imaginative, but refined in a very mature and amazing way.

I didn't see as much as one new gameplay mechanic, despite the critics' praises of the game's originality. Just a bunch of different genres and ideas thrown into a pot and polished till veeery shiny. The best thing I can say about the game is that it's very compressed in fun-factor... there's always something intense going on, and it has hours upon hours of platforming ready to throw at you. I haven't played such a diverse and colorful platformer for years. The intensity also means, however, that there is little background story, almost no cutscenes, none of the classic 'glue of story telling'. It's just a bunch of levels sequenced in a way so that it sort of makes sense. I felt like the story was just an excuse for the lack of logic... "It's dreams! It doesn't have to make sense!"... and I guess that the emphasis on pure fun gameplay is a good excuse. Why not a higher score? Because of the lack of story and emotional appeal. Also because I could recognize all the 'new' ideas from other games. Oh, and the difficulty in some levels is the wrong kind of challenging... trial-and-error rather than a test of intelligence. I like the game A LOT and recommend it. But I need to score it more moderately than all the pro critics. This is not the best game of the generation. And I heavily suspect that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is miles more creative than this game, although I never played that one.… Expand

    Why this version of PS3 or X360 has the same score of the WiiU version? The WiiU version is obviously better. The 360 and PS3 versions have not the touch-screen features in some of the levels.

    The conversion from the Wii U to the Playstation 3 went rather badly. First of all it looks about 10x worse, the controls are bad and it loses a lot of its charm. The whole idea of Murphy is turned on its head, when instead of using the Wii U gamepad you press a button. Next time Ubisoft should stick to the console it was designed to be exclusive on.

I found killing the enemies and progressing through the levels very pointless and unrewarding, as there is no real challenge or perceptible purpose to completing each level, let alone actually enjoying any of them due to the lack of investment in what limited game-play and obstacles to tackle such linearity brings in a game where silly behavior and atmosphere do not in any way help the game experience. I really wanted to like this game, but maybe it is just not for my age group ( I am almost 17).

    Make no mistake, the difficulty has been ramped up considerably. Something we, as grown up gamers, can truly appreciate. Even the first worlds aren't all that easy, since the levels vary greatly in difficulty. Don't expect a new Demon's Souls, but be prepared to make that same jump a dozen times. [September p.80]
