I havnt seen this game getting too much attention at present, so decided to make a hype thread for it. Today
ratings were released from Nintendo Power giving Rayman a 9.5/10
Not a bad review at all
It has been nearly 6 years since the last Rayman:Hoodlum's Revenge was released on Gameboy Advance in 2005 :lol: now thats something to laugh about, but having had these next gen consoles lacking a Rayman title made it feel like the gen was missing something at least to me.
So here are the specs on Rayman: Origins
Releasing: November 15th from Ubisoft ( with that and Assassin's Revelations, hopefully things look good for ubi)
The game will have over 60 levels and up to 4 players that can pop in and out of the game
This game so far did receive a higher rating than one from IGN for Ratchet and Clank All 4 One
All 4 One received a 8/10
but of course nothings certain until we can compare ratings from the same website though just looking at the trailer
Rayman certainly is looking like alot of fun!

Spoiler:
Featured Levels
While featuring numerous original environments, Rayman Origins will also be the first game in the series to revisit locations explored in previous games. The game will be divided into three phases. In the first phase, the player will make their way through six worlds – Jungle, Music, Food, Mountain, Ocean and Picture – in a pre-set order. Each world ends with the characters gaining new powers, such as the ability to dive underwater or change their size. Once the first phase is complete, the second phase can be accessed: new levels become available in each of the six worlds, and this time the player can play them in any order they want. When this phase is complete, then the game's ending becomes available, along with the third and final phase. It contains only one world – the Land of the Dead. Levels here can be unlocked by collecting the Skull Coins hidden throughout the game. Some of the game's seven worlds are split into more than one 'environment'; there are a total of twelve environments in the game. Each world is divided into many levels; there are a total of sixty-six levels in the game. Descriptions of the seven worlds follow.
- Jibberish Jungle – Rayman is born in the Primordial Forest, indicating that this jungle is in fact the Dream Forest from the original game. It seems that this level's bosses are a monstrous daisy and a gigantic living statue.
- The Desert of Didgeridoos – Rayman must use gongs to create sound waves which shield him from swarms of black flying creatures which resemble locusts. Spiky balls from the original game reappear. This world is composed mainly on music and musical instruments. It seems to be based on Band Land, a location which has not been seen since the original game.
- The Gourmand Lands – several screenshots show the protagonists making their way through a surreal environment made of food and cooking materials. This area is known as the Infernal Kitchen, and its aesthetic is inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration. This land is home to Baby Dragon Chefs – small, red, reptilian enemies who attack the heroes with their forks. Another environment in the Gourmand Lands is Frosty Delights, an icy landscape which features cocktail elements such as giant orange slices. It may have been inspired by the Glacier Cocktail level from Tonic Trouble.
- The Sea of Serendipity – footage shows Rayman and Globox swimming near the sea floor, surrounded by marine life. They are chased by gigantic aquatic insects. Above the surface of the ocean, a tribe of Globox's species lives in a village supported on stilts.
- Mystic Peak – screenshots depict a mountain location surrounded by floating landmasses which recall the floating earth platforms of the original game. The mountain is dotted with small buildings. Its peak is hidden by clouds, but the tentacles of another boss – a gigantic pink monster resembling a squid – can be seen descending from its heights. Moody Clouds, a steampunk level in which Rayman rides on the back of Moskito, who shoots enemies down with the energy projectiles from his proboscis, is part of Mystic Peak.
- Picture – a world composed entirely of artwork and art supplies. Based on Picture City from the original game. In Rayman Origins it will feature references to art **** such as pop art and pixel art.
- The Land of the Dead – a level with a strong resemblance to both the Cave of Bad Dreams and Tomb of the Ancients from Rayman 2. This is where the game's villains live; the antics of the protagonists annoy the villains, setting the events of the game in motion. Its name is very similar to that of the Land of the Livid Dead, a Rayman 3 level. The Land of the Dead has a golden palette, and features giant skulls, bones and cobwebs. Concept art depicts graveyards, insects, zombies, a strange hotdog-like character who appears to be selling hotdogs, and numerous tentacled monsters. This seems to be the final level of the game.
Other levels:
- A castle level – the trailer and a piece of concept art depict a colourful and ornate castle with many domes, built over a river which runs through a valley surrounded by jungle. This may be part of the Jungle world or the Mountain world.
- A cave level – the trailer shows Rayman sliding through a slippery, dark, mushroom-filled cavern while fighting off enemy insects.
- An organic level – similar to the Organic Cave from the cancelled Rayman 4, this level takes place within the belly of a gigantic dragon. The players much avoid flaming walls of heartburn.
