    Rayman Legends is a gorgeous, content-rich 2D platformer. There's so much to do it's actually a little overwhelming at first as you are repeatedly informed of newly unlocked content.

There's so much to do it's actually a little overwhelming at first as you are repeatedly informed of newly unlocked content. Once you begin to decipher what all of those notifications means you'll find a smooth experience with a lot of variety and only the most minor of flaws.

    The game's charming water color graphics are remarkably detailed and very pleasing to the eye. This is a fantastic looking game. Longtime fans and newcomers alike can take pleasure in knowing the series' ear for memorable tunes is still in place. On top of being pretty, Legends is an aural delight as well.

    The platforming and controls are spot on. There is a lot to see and do in the game. With so many unlockables and side-challenges to overcome it will take even the most skilled of players some time to fully complete everything Legends has to offer. I was regularly caught off guard by the game's ability to constantly change up the action. It seems like each stage has it's own unique twist to help shake things up. The amount of imaginative scenarios is impressive, ensuring that there's never a dull moment and new challenge to overcome around every corner. While usually a masterfully designed platformer, there are some flaws to take note of. Some stages have less than stellar checkpoint placement. Something that will cause you to have to replay lengthier sections of a stage than is desirable. I also had the achievement for completing the game's last painting/world fail to unlock. Small these issues may be, but they are noticeable nonetheless.

    Overall, Legends has just about everything you could want from a platformer. Tons of content, top-notch level design, and first rate production all help it stand amongst the best of what the genre has to offer. The action is even more fun when you bring up to three friends with you for some incredibly chaotic cooperative gaming. Just know you'll have to be able to get together in person. For whatever reason Ubisoft left out any online options. Regardless of whether you play couch co-op or solo though, this might just be Rayman's standout adventure.    … Expand

    Very good fun. This beautiful platformer runs 1080p at 60fps on the Xbox One, and has flawless uninterrupted gameplay. I would recommend this game to anyone and everyone who hasn't played it yet. 10/10 is modest.
    I will say that if you played this game on last gen, there is very little difference in the experience

    To gostando muito desse jogo. Muito divertido. Muito bem feito, graficamente falando. Apesar de ser plataforma, ele tem dimensões que simulam 3D. Gostei muito. Recomendo a todos. E o preço também está bom. Vale a pena.

There are few issues but two of them are notable:

    Control issue:
    The run button works in very strange way; if you press it your character will run in place rather than wait for you to move the stick, it's a cute animation but there is a catch, your character is not running, as soon as you use the controller to move the animation remains but you are slow and move like if the run button wouldn't be pressed, accelerate then run. That screwed me up a lot on many runs.

    Challenge mode issue:
    When you play the challenge you can see several "ghost" of other players trying the same challenge, this is a MAJOR flaw, one of the worst idea ever. The challenges aren't hard because the platforming is clever and hard, it's hard because it's the equivalent of your younger brother putting his hands in front of your eyes while you play.

    Otherwise it is one of the most imaginative and interesting game I have seen. If an update could fix the input issues and if you could turn off the ghost during challenges it would be awesome.

    The rating is lowered by one point because of the challenge mode issue which create unnecessary frustration.

    [My previous review was talking about a very serious input lag issue, it is not an issue with Rayman Legends, it is an issue with the Xbox One, so if like me you experience input lag follow these instructions:
    1-Turn off your Xbox One
    2-Unplug it from the wall and count 20sec.
    3-Plug back the Xbox One and turn it back on

    Issue should now be resolved

    This is pretty awful if you ask me because no other game than Rayman was showing the input lag, or maybe I didn't noticed it as much, after all a platformer is pretty pretty unforgiving when it comes to input lag. I guess developers will have to deal with disgruntled customer because of this.]    … Expand

    The version is no different from the other console versions, and that is ok. To me, the release of Rayman Legends on the PS4 or Xbox One wasn't about offering more content, or a different experience. That is just fine with me, and the reason I decided to wait until it released on next get was for the features of the consoles because the game is the same.

That is just fine with me, and the reason I decided to wait until it released on next get was for the features of the consoles because the game is the same.
    The game is fast, fluid, and masterfully done. There are many levels, character unlocks, and weekly/daily challenges to compete against the community online. The platforming is very well done and a great variety of challenges. The vibrant colors and art is a delight to look at, and some of the best levels incorporate music that coincides with your movement. The Castle Rock level is by far my favorite, and is so well done I have played it several times just for the experience.
    The mulitplayer, couch Co-Op is done very well. I seek out titles that offer couch co-op so my children can play. As long as one person is skilled enough the level can be beaten, and the other players can hop in and out at any time. My only complaint is the lack of online multiplayer, and this is a feature that should have been added.

    The benefit of the xbox one version is what the console offers. I love the ability to just leave the game on the console by playing another application or turning the console off, and I am able to pick up where I left off in seconds. The ability to get into playing the game quickly is great for me since often I just want to get a few minutes of game time, and this does it well.

    Fun Factor: 10/10 A blast to play
    Graphics: 10/10 Gorgeous HD, hand drawn game that looks like art
    Sound: 9/10 - Most levels sound and music mix well with character actions on screen. More levels like Castle rock please!
    Controls: 9/10 Near perfect controls, and this is necessary for a platformer. Could be a 10/10-but there are rare occasion it felt like a tweek is needed.
    Multiplayer 9/10 - Couch Co-op makes this game awesome and worth a purchase for me. I docked a point for no online level play. The daily/weekly challenges is a nice touch, but a bit more would have been nice.    … Expand

The Level design is fantastic in Legends, with fluid progression and hidden areas to find teensies and coins. The ending missions of each painting are probably the best levels in the game, they are quick paced and have a great score that matches your traversal to the area i couldn't get enough of it. Boss battles are well designed to and make good use of the game play mechanics. There is a sizable amount of content in this game and after roughly 25 hours into the game i still have teensies to go back and collect. whats also great is that Rayman Origins is bundled into the game too so basically two games in one is what your getting. Art direction is nothing special but nice to look at and different from some of the games you will see. Unfortunately if your looking for a great story to immerse yourself in this will not do it for you, but as a pure platformer Legends is extremely fun and well worth your time.… Expand

    Admittedly, I did get frustrated quite a few times since the difficulty level can at times be quite hard, especially for someone like me who hasn't got a great deal of experience with that kind of game genre. Still, I recommend this game for people who like side scrollers. Especially if you like some challenge (for example, if you want to get all the gold medals) this may be something to consider. The coop is also a big bonus in my opinion, I had a blast playing this for hours with my girlfriend, even though I have to say, not every level works well for coop.

    The game also has a good performance on Xbox One, and there is plenty of content. Plus, if you go achievement hunting, there is a lot of replay value. But even if you don't, it will take you (estimated) up to 30 hours to finish all the Legends and Origin levels on the game.

    Now, if I like this game so much, why don't I give it a 10? Simple: Because of some minor infuriating things, like the controls sometimes doing weird things, and the Ubisoft servers, which sometimes just don't work properly and end up deleting your online scores for the daily and/or weekly challenges, which is very annoying if you just got yourself a hard-earned gold cup.    … Expand

    A brilliant side scrolling game, that looks beautiful and plays even better. After the classic or Rayman Origins, this feels very similar but has some very nice twists. Artwork is flawless and stunning, great detail. The music levels are by far the funnest thing I've done in a side scrolling game for a very long time, great idea and work perfectly.

    Rayman Legends isn’t just an HD upgrade or a game to tide you over before mechs start punching each other or beanie-hatted superpowered hipsters run amok in Seattle. It may include extra levels and a few extra costumes (taken from other Ubisoft properties) but the real value here is its inherent charm, frantic fun and a free-spirited feeling that enlivens one of the quietest periods in the life of a new console.
