Rayman Origins is efffing INCREDIBLE

Man. That game. MAN. Its so good. So creative and inventive. Im playing through it right now coop with my friends. 2 and 3 player. Its utterly fantastic fun. A truly beautiful wonderful game. its excellent on all accounts. Music, visuals, gameplay, length, design. the perfect mesh of old and new.

how did you guys like it?

Yeah, it is. Too bad it was a financial flop.

releasing it the same day as assassins creed was awful

I found it frustrating a lot of the time. Too much trial and error._Cadbury_

I got the Wii version on black friday for $30, because it was the cheapest copy I could find. Now the 360/PS3 versions are only $20. :evil:

Oh well... I still enjoyed the game. They should put it on XBLA/PSN. I'd probably re-buy it if Ubisoft did that. :P

yeah, i got the 360 version for 30 bucks on amazon.

Want to give this game a shot at some point. Grew up with amazing platformers like Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Yoshi's Island, SMB3 and so forth.

This game seems to harken back to the good ol days.

Probably why it was such a failure commercially. If this game was an XBLA title instead of retail, it woulda been huge. People just won't pay 60 bucks for "jumpy games" as my roommate so eloquently puts it.

its good but the achilies heel for most folks i know was a lack of online multiplayer, even LBP has the concept of same room multi down and does online well, why couldnt rayman do it.

Its not always possible to have a co-op partner in the same room as you.

I like this game, I really do however 50 dollars for a game I beat in 4 hours? Are you kidding me? The game rewards you for beating it fast, most of the challenging levels are really short, its like Donkey Kong Country meets Sonic. Although it was fun and unique no way in hell was it worth a 50 (and for the other consoles 60) dollar purchase. Tons of other platformers lasted longer and had the same level of finace. It shouldn't surprise anyone why it flopped.

[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"][QUOTE="jettpack"]I was a big fan of meat boy so that stuff doesnt bother me. also playing it coop mittigates some of the trial and error.

That it is. My brother got the Wii version (does it matter what version we get?.nintendoboy16

I'm thinking about getting it on Vita.

The last good Rayman game I played... I never played a good Rayman game. I bet that has something to do with the sales. They didn't market it did they? Can't recall seeing ads for this.

There was one commercial that played every now and then.. not a very memorable one though I'm afraid.

Didn't even like Rayman 2? Harsh...

I rented it and should be in the mail today. I think it's the 360 version, if it's as good as people say after I finish it I'll buy the PS3 version. Not a big fan of hearing trial and error, that sort of thing is what turns me off to platformers the most.

I still need this game.

Agreed. It's easily one of the best games of 2011.

Best 2D platformer of the entire generation. NSMBW is a joke compared to it.

Thought it was good, and it's a shame it was so overlooked, but I also don't think it was that amazing. One of the best platformers on the HD consoles for sure, but I think Wii has a good amount of platformers that surpass it.

Its a real sweet game.

Rayman:Origin's difficulty is actually fairly balanced....

You want frustrating along with trial and error....go d/l the first Rayman off PSN.

I agree.after playing it in 1080p,60fps..............I AGREE.

I'll be getting it eventually, but first I'm wating for Twisted Metal, man that game is going to rock! It's from the guy who made God of War and it's Twisted Metal, so you know it's going to blow the roof off!

Rayman does look fun, I like the 4 player co op (alot of games don't have this anymore unfortunately) and the art design. I also hear it has about 60 awesome and fun levels to beat, and that's alot. I hope the game picks up in terms of sales and does better, it should really be flying off the shelves. But the main problem is that they launched it at the same time as too many big title games, so it got over shadowed.

i waiting for the 3ds version.

im not a big rayman fan or else i would have got the console version..

A lot of random Rayman Origins praise threads. Get off here, Ubisoft.

it's a good game. fun and goofy and fluid and challenging and just all those things said again for extra emphasis.

Will probably get it but not at the current price.

When it's down to 20,I will.

I'll pick this up on the Vita when I get one, it seems better suited to a portable. Plus, it will look gorgeous on the 5" OLED display.

Yeah, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

B. i made the post because i love the game.

No I didn't buy it. UbiSoft doesn't care for the PC anymore. Bad luck to them I guess.-CheeseEater-

I hope it makes it's way to steam, the game sold like crap.
