    Mario, step up your game.

    This game is better than most if not all 2D Mario games by a long way.

    This is one of the best Rayman 2D games I ever played The grafics and stetic is pretty cool and also te controls are very good but a little bit clunky but is ok and the story is a little bit strange but I accept it

    I tested the game the first time on Xbox 360. As the game is very close to the Xbox 360 version, I put the same score.

    Rayman origins is one of those games that you always keep coming back to. Its been 10 years since launch and the game is still just as fun as it was when it came out. It blends the classic Rayman difficulty with the modern 2d platforming. You can play the game by yourself, with friends or family and it will be fun either way. One of my favorites, dont miss out. Most underrated platformer.

    This is the only mainline Rayman game I've played, and man is it a great time.

    This is a less refined version of Legends. It's a pretty good game regardless, though.

    This game was my first time ever playing a game from the classic Rayman franchise. I have to say, I didn't expect such a fun and beautiful game. There needs to be more of it.

    Look, Rayman origins is a good game but definitely overrated as well. It's a fun 2D platform

    Terrific Reboot
    Rayman Origins Is A Fun And EXTREMELY Unique Platformer That Follows In The Footsteps Of Mario.

    Other than that design-wise in mechanics and artistically it is a great end result of a game.    … Expand

    Origins is a great platforming game that combines a unique aesthetic with creative level design. Difficulty in this game gradually ramps up.

Difficulty in this game gradually ramps up. On the first time through, players are encouraged to look for secret rooms and collect as many lums as possible. After, however, they are given the chance to speed through the level, which allows a different perspective of the level, and also increases appreciation of the level design. A drawback though is the Snoring Tree. Anytime you want to change a character, you need to go through this place, which feels repetitive after awhile. Also, the mosquito stages get tiring after awhile, due to the limited control in comparison to the platforming sections. Overall though, a great platformer.… 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

    Es un juego muy bueno pero le faltan algumas cosas q su sucesor mejora. Pero bueno es un plataforma frenetico, lleno de alegria y diversion q le ensena a Mario y a Sonic como se hacen los plataformas en 2D. Aprendan del nuevo maestro

    Rayman Origins is an adventure for Rayman fans out there. It's what makes a game so fun that you don't want it to finish until you feel like you want to finish it.

    Took a lesson from New Super Mario Bros. Wii on how to make a great co-op single screen 4-player platformer. I'd say it's more difficult than Mario. So far I haven't gotten enough lums to get a medal on a single level.

    Rayman is back to glory! This 2D-platformer brings back what made the first games so fantastic - very neat graphics, near-perfect controlls and that action-adventure feeling.

    Rayman origins is gorgeous game that really captures the original Rayman in a better way other than the great graphics this game is filled with fun soundtracks,tunes, and awesome characters.and for people out there looking for a game that is great but not difficult Rayman is for you. the only con i can say is that you die very quickly

    With controls & level design that rival Super Meat Boy, this game is the best in its class! Though it is a little too hard for me, if you have a 2nd player, with just about any skill level, you'll do fine.

    They get it! Even with the low power of Wii Ubisoft did a really decent version of Rayman Origins, i really appreciate the gameplay like in the others versions and the visual it's really good.

    At first when I read about this, I thought it would just be a rip-off of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but more colourful. When I picked it up, I could not have been more wrong!

Second: the way the characters interact with the world. I played most of this game with my brother and the way you see Rayman and Globox interact with the Glade of Dreams is amazing. Its not like the usual Nintendo titles where the main character always looks like they are on a mission. No, Rayman and his mates are going on this adventure for fun! And thirdly: This game is fun! Personally, I think this game is much better than the traditional Mario games. Even my brother, who doesn't play much games bar FIFA, loved it. Honestly, one of the funnest games I have ever played. A must buy!… Expand

    It's perfect, except for a few minor bugs. Although they can be frustrating, they are not game breaking. Getting everything can be pretty brutal :)

    Rayman Origin proves that multiplatform games don't have to be a load of bull on the Wii. The game may even be better on Wii, because the offline co-op mode better fits the console. The Wii Remote may come with its own problems but they are easily resolved by adding a Nunchuck or Classis Controller. Good job, Ubisoft!
