Still no reason for unhappiness. The resuscitation of Ubisoft's House mascot with Rayman Origins (= RO) has again conjured a radiant smile in my gamer eyes after many years of break, because such a beautiful, fun-filled, creative motley as hopping I have not experienced for a long time. This symbiosis of precise control, painterly detail-optics, creative level invasions, cuddly characters and groovy sound, I could not resist, the inimitable slapstick humor typical French style was there only the Sahnetupferl top. Mario? Sonic? Can both retire;)
Now Ubisoft pushes almost 2 years Rayman Legends afterwards (= RL). And what can I say: It is as expected amazing and incredibly good. Almost legendary, one might think.
As RO Also RL is characterized mainly by its charming and amusing gameplay and fast pace, but improved in nuances or even expanded. As expected, makes Rayman what he could before: He rushes, jumps, flies, slides and beats as usual from level to level. Besides the fact that the Beautiful 2D graphics is peppered with tons of three-dimensional effects, the spatial depth is playfully much more common, is active exploited than in the predecessor. The change between the levels is a real eye-catcher every time. Furthermore, the French, the level design and the peppy background music have voted even more perfect each other, which is mainly used in the special music levels to its best advantage. Here are the musical rhythm quasi the ideal line for 100% of the level before conflict resolution, while the opponent's pieces in the background singing along to match the chorus. An indescribably weird but brilliant gaming experience, even the Level Castle Rock has me excited difficult at the beginning, do I still hurt the Grinsebacken, so I had to laugh about this spectacle that was happening on the monitor. -D
About lack of scope is not a player is likely to complain, besides the actual RL game worlds, there are also good 40 RO-Levels in revised form, you gradually unlock depending on the game success. Really liked the daily new online challenges, where you can compete with other players around the world. In a given time to collect as many Lums as you can, a Level through to you by NEN self-induced error is stopped, time records set up the tasks usually remain the same, but each day Challenge Level is under construction and look always different, which provide long game motivation should, even after completing the main game.
And who is on football, which can deny ludicrous matches with Rayman and Co. in Kung Foot.
Small call to other readers:
I am still friends with whom I like to can discharge one or another thrashing. Anyone interested should be necessarily report in the comment section of my review. Would be happy !!!
Conclusion:
Cross platform currently the best 2D-hopper of this generation, and probably the most diverse genre hit you can get to. A colorful, musical and tremendously funny lots of fun for gamepad acrobats of all ages. Recommended highly enough.
