    For a game that looks like it's meant for 5-year-olds, it is brutally difficult. I prefer to just sit back and play platformers instead of yelling at the screen. It does have beautiful levels and decent level design, but I prefer the other heavyweight platformers. The others have much better competitive advantages: there is Little Big Planet that significantly better replayability andFor a game that looks like it's meant for 5-year-olds, it is brutally difficult.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a good game that also works good with up to 4 friends. The biggest complaint I have is that's the learning curve is too steep and that it's too difficult in general. The game is pretty long and by the end I was tired of it. After the ending, it seems like the levels kept coming, there was another bonus level and that was waaay too hard! We never finished it and it feels like I never finished the game so I kinda have a bad feeling about this and don't want to play Rayman again.… Expand

    Beautiful hand drawn backgrounds make this 2D game unique. Although this game is fun and challenging to collect all the extras, it does get rather boring after a bit of time. To me it seemed like after a while the game dragged on and my appeal was faded. A good renting game but not worth buying in my opinion.

    Gorgeous, polished, and legitimately challenging, it is as good a 2D platformer as one will find, nostalgic or no. Very few games manage to be old-school and new-school at the same time, but Rayman Origins threads that needle to near-perfection.

    Rayman goes from 3D to 2D but gains charm and quality in the progress. The hand-drawn levels are beautiful and well animated, the music has rhythm that compliments the gameplay and playing the game with two, three or four players is hectic in a good way.

    We had the most fun playing the game with just one other player. Four players on screen is too hectic, two is just right and a lot more fun than taking on the enemies on your own. The only thing we miss is online co-op for when you don't have a friend handy. [December 2011, p.94]
