    Best co op platform since crash bandicoot 3. You won't be dissapointed. Kids will love it.
    This game concentrates more on hard and replayability than deaths and lives very interesting way of doing things.
    This game is well priced and honestly pretty faultless. I never liked or played rayman this is my first rayman title. I did't even know what to expect. Oh btw it's four player co op,    Best co op platform since crash bandicoot 3. You won't be dissapointed. Kids will love it.

    This game is well priced and honestly pretty faultless. I never liked or played rayman this is my first rayman title. I did't even know what to expect. Oh btw it's four player co op, so now you have a reason to have that second controller.

    I can't judge on remote or crossplay, this wasn't tested and the maximum characters I played with was 2.
    It was an interesting dynamic with two people in some of the levels. As you can disrupt each other by attacking and you can kill the other character by going to far ahead, if this sounds bad don't be put off as death isn't permenant, and if both players die it's just a restart.

    I also like the unlockable characters and the fact that you don't spend 10k lums on a character if you have 10k lums you unlock the 1k, 2k, 5k and 10k characters.

    Can be enjoyed best with a friend.    … Expand

    I'm playing the game no Xbone and the game is pure eye-candy. It's full of comedy like previous games and the boss fights are challenging. I'm loving the coop with friends and overall I'm pleased with the game and hope that next-gen consoles get more like it.

    10 out of 10. Anyone who loves side-scrolling platformers will be addicted to Rayman Legends. This game is so polished and so perfect that I dare say it's one of the best platformers of all-time. Ubisoft has really got something with this franchise and engine, well done!

    Rayman Legends is simply stunning to look at and play. After completing Rayman Origins I thought Ubisoft would struggle to beat the supreme level design and originality found it that game, yet they have indeed improved on it in every way.

    While I enjoyed the demo on Wii U, I opted to go for the PS4 version as I actually prefer games without touch controls and I'm glad I did. Playing on the DS4 is perfect for me. Not only that but graphics look sharper, there is no loading times and of course Trophy's on PS consoles.

    There is so much to do in Legends it will keep you going for many hours. The new worlds are superb, plus there is a revisit to some Rayman Origins levels re-configured for this new adventure as well as daily and weekly challenges to compete against the world.

    Gameplay is tight, graphics are beautiful, the music is excellent and the challenge is quite taxing on the later levels.

    Ubisoft should be given credit for continuing to make games like this and Child of Light with such creativity,I really hope they continue to do so.

    Just get this game if you haven't already - it's one of the best platformers ever and the best version is the PS4/X1 versions if you ask me!    … Expand

    Just as good as origins. Wonderful graphics, precision platforming and a pumping soundtrack. I bought it for twenty of the queens pounds and I really think it is worth twice as much.
    One of the best platformers ever not from Nintendo.

    Also, the barriers in different chapters are very creatively designed, which always give me fresh feeling.
    The foes are stupidly cute, so lovely and ridiculously punished. I like this kind of humor.
    The difficulty is just fit so after mastering the control, you will be very glad to replay them in a more seamless way.
    All in all, I fully enjoy the game. It makes me so happy.    … Expand

    The best platformer you can find. Finished it on PS3, Wii U and now PS4. Although the PS4 version is faster and the graphics are a bit better, there is no reason to buy this game if you own any of the old gen versions. Ifg you do not than this is a must buy.

    This game is magnificent. This is one of the best Platformers I have ever played, and That is Rayman. Rayman Is all about Pure platforming goodness, Epic music, and Ridiculously Abstract Characters with not one bit of a story tied to it. Oh, and did I say Epic Music? All I can say is BUY IT.

    I liked Rayman Origins but this game just blows it out of the water. Everything is improved and it's one of the few games nowadays that has up to 4 player split screen. This gives Mario a run for his coins.

    GEM! Beautiful hand crafted graphics, stunning colors , solid 60 frames per second, ultra precise controls, perfect platforming mechanics, genius level design and tough as nails timed invasion challenges. Playing this game makes me feel 20 years younger but due to it's frenetic pace on later levels it reminds me that me and my reflexes are becoming old and sometimes struggle to keep up.

    A great example to show what make these levels so good are the musical levels, in these levels, you can see all the smart enemie placement and platform placement to make a fun rhythm game.
