    Rayman Origins was a perfect reboot of the Rayman series, and Rayman Legends is the ultimate game. So much content is packed into this game, and as it features superb gameplay, sound and presentation, you can't go wrong here.
    Perfect game that is a must-have for every gamer. 10!

Not only was I blown away by the sheer awesome unique game design and mechanics but also by the awesome story. Gameplay is very good and every level brings up something new and fresh to keep you interested. Enemies and your friendly characters are top notch with a lot of variety. The soundtrack fits the mood perfectly in each level and keeps you pumped in anticipation. The story is epic and interesting. There is a lot of replayability. I just have to recommend this to other people. If you don't buy this you're really missing out. I know I'm going to be jumping in those paintings for amazing adventures for a long time to come!

    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. The music really adds another level to the experience, and the bonus rhythm levels are a real hoot.

    The perfect platformer! that's why it's getting a 10/10 from me. Awesome levels and soundtrack charming graphics,flawless gameplay oh and some awesome boss battles. Then again there are some problems for example the game is way to short for my taste a game fun like this needs to be longer! And 4 player coop can get very chaotic and crowded.

    Did i mention that this game is fun as hell!?

The only negative which were a non-existent story quickly gets replaced once you realize this game is extremely challenging, especially in terms of hand-eye coordination. The levels are extremely fun and one of the key things in platforming games to me is variety, and this game has tons of it. One minute I'm running inside an apple, the next I''m swimming underwater dodging missiles, so amazing. The content in this game is also off the roofs amazing, not only can you unlock levels to the prior game (rayman origins), but there are weekly challlenges which are very fun, and invasion paintings, which are mostly speed levels (which are also awesome of course). This is probably the best platforming game I've played in my life, giving two thumbs way up to the developers who masterfully crafted this amazing game, Thank You!!! 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.

    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.

    Also, the first, excellent PS3 Rayman title, Rayman Origins, is essentially in this game for free! You earn lottery scratch off tickets by beating levels and you "win" most of the original levels from Origins.

    This is one of my favorite games ever, it compares favorably to legendary platformers like New Super Mario World DS and Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World.

    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!

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

    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,

    Bought this game for my wife and never played a Rayman game before because always thought the character was kind of lame. Well damn. Just an excellent game in every way. So much variety, fast paced, chalenging and extremely fun. This game will punish your ass too but not too much (almost sometimes). Many hours of drinkin beer and screaming at the screen. Good times!

Everything is top notch and the music is just a perfect fit for the game. Played the level with the Ram Jam song blasting all the way through. Man I had a big grin on my face. Really gets you going like wanting to jump up and down with the bad guys on the screen like a little and pound your fist hahaha. Felt like when I was was 10 (estimate) years old and got the NES for Christmas and playin Mario for the first time. fantastic. Expand

This game is not about finishing every main level, it is instead about collecting everything. You unlock more challenge levels the more you play, and beating these unlocks even more. You can even unlock levels from "Origins" until you have the entire game.

    The gameplay is smooth and can become quite challenging, the graphics are beautiful, and the music is exceptional and well suited. Multiplayer rules and it has great replay value.

    If you like platformers, get this game now.

    This is the best platform game I've ever played. The combination of the beautiful painting art style, the fast paced gameplay, the challenge, the unlockables, the incredible music, and the spot on controls make this game a delight. That and the game is packed with loads of imagination and charm. I love it.

    Improving upon the already fantastic Origins is no easy task, but Legends manages to do it! Side-scrolling platforming simply doesn't get better than this. The level themes are more interesting than ever before, the musical levels are absolutely mad and hilarious, and the game simply oozes charm and rich imagination. A must-buy.

    Beautifully designed, controls brilliantly with lots of colours. Up there with Mario and Sonic, in my opinion.
    Every day there is a new challenge to keep you playing and lots of characters, but Rayman is my personal favourite.

    A great game worth your time. Despite its immature designs, Rayman legends, like all of its predecessors is not an easy game, as it has a perfect difficulty level. This game has (to this day) daily randomly generated challenges and great controls. The greatest part is its multiplayer fluency and the other characters rarley get in the way of others

This was the first game I ever had one hundred percent because I just wanted to keep playing hell even after completing it I'm still looking forward to playing it again.

    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]
