Rayman Origins is the best platforming game of this generation.

Beautiful to look at, amazing music, perfect controls! This game has it all.

I heard it sold very bad when it first came out last year, and I honestly feel like a major **** for waiting this long to pick it up. THE BEST PLATOFORMER OF THIS GEN!

Discuss.

Is a great game, however i'm not as crazy for it as i thought i would be, don't get me wrong, i love it, it has an amazing feeling and the level design is amazing, but i still like DKCR a little bit more.

Haven't played it, but I think Super Meat boy would be hard to top.

I'd say it and DKC Returns battle for best 2D platformer. Rayman is certainly the prettiest. Galaxy 1/2 are the best overall platformers IMO of this generation.

I find it odd that the sequel is a Wii U exclusive and no one gives a **** after all the whining and complaining that went on when Origins wasn't selling well.

I'm getting Legends day one. Origins is such a great game.

Yeah I have to agree with this one. I'm a huge nintendo fan and they usually completely dominate this genre, but I have to admit Rayman Origins just trumps those platformers with smoother and faster gameplay as well as stronger and more fluid level design.

Haven't played it. It'd be hard to top SMG2 though.

No; have to say LBP 1 & 2 hold that title. As much as I don't want to say it.

Maybe graphically and sound wise..but as pure level desgin goes NSMBW kicks its ass..

Lol no.

It's Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter. The PS3 has them in HD. :cool:

Um, Ubisoft at their E3 press conference? It uses the Wii U pad heavily so it makes sense too.

While unique and innovative in a lot of ways LBP falls far short of multiple platformers this generation in terms of level design.

I was going to ask "WHY dont you want to say it?"...then I see your profile name.

Super Meat Boy for me for sure (with DKCR a distant second). Unless we're including 3d in which case Mario Galaxy 2.

I honestly think the 2d Mario games have been surpassed by many platformers this gen and people are just slow to adjust because of the Mario name. I found NSMB Wii level design only picked up in the final two worlds, and it was fairly meh up to that point.

I mean Rayman Origins along with some others look neat and all, but LBP 1 & 2 allow for complete control where you get to design levels. It's basically the ultimate platformer, at least in my eyes.

Hehe :P

I'd even say one of the best games this gen. Legends is gonna be amazing too. I'd pick Galaxy 1/2 over it tho.

Lol no.

This. Also, Sonic Colors and Mega Man 9 would be very hard to beat too.

Change that name to Little Big Planet, and we have a winner.ispeakfact

Rayman Origins definitely the best 2D platformer of this generation, right up there with Super Meat Boy. Mario was pretty much a no-show when it came to challenging 2D platforming. This coming from a guy whose high school nicknames were "Mario," "Nintendo," "Game Boy," and "Casper." Three of those are video game related, I'll let you figure out which ones. Even with that obvious bit of fanboy pointed out, I would be inclined to say Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the best overall platformer of the generation (and my favorite game of the generation).

Now if you said 2D platforming I wouldn't have cared.

Galaxy/Galaxy 2.

The poll sucks.

I bought it, but I haven't opened it yet. Honestly, one of the reasons I bought it was because I heard it was selling terribly. I felt kind of bad for the developers because they clearly tried something different and put out a critically acclaimed game, but it suffered because it wasn't a popular type of game. I think that developers should be rewarded for trying new things and releasing high quality games, even if they're not Call of Duty or something that's really popular.

People don't share this state of mind with me, but I actually buy a lot of games that are critically acclaimed and don't sell well for 2 reasons. 1, to support the developer because I feel like they've earned it, and 2, because games that are critically acclaimed and don't sell well tend to appreciate in value over the years because there are limited copies. Take Earthbound for example. It sold well, but under a million copies, and it's a hard to find game now. It was critically acclaimed and developed a cult following, and now it sells for roughly $300 bucks.

I don't ever plan on selling my games, so I buy games for the long haul.

2D platformer yes but not as good as Mario Galaxy.

Nope. Its a very good platformer, but there just happens to be too many sick platformers this gen. Its definitely in the top ten though, but in terms of gameplay I'd say SMG, SMG2, NSMBW, DKCR, Trials HD, Trials Evo, and Super Meat Boy all beat it out by a fair margin.

Amaizing music? lol? oO

Anyway, it is okay. I own it on PS3, never really got arround playing it much, didn't like it much with a friend. I did get the Vita version due to lack of games and got through it. It's good, but I prefer the Ratchet seriess
