So two days ago, I got Rayman Origins that came by mail (hooray for buying games online!) and also played it two days ago. And being a fan of the Rayman series, all I can is that I love it. Probably the best Rayman game I've played.
The platforming is easy at first but it gradually gets harder. Of course, there are some parts that difficult in the first world or two but fortunately there are plenty of checkpoints around so you don't have to start right from the beginning. The controls are....well...perfect to say of the least. The time I ended up dieing in some parts of the level is mostly my fault, especially when I jump and fall straight into a bottomless pit or in the water filled with piranhas. :P
As you probably know, Rayman Origins can be played alone or together with friends (there's no online co-op) though. You can play by yourself but once you get your friends/brothers/sisters/whoever-it-is that's where things get a lot more fun (and chaotic sometimes) especially when you start fooling around and smacking at each other in the levels. I also love the artstyIe in the game. It's just plain beautiful from the levels to the characters themselves.

Music is also one of my favourite parts in the game especially at the Sea of Serendipity. I could honestly listen to the music over and over again just to listen to the music, not to mention the levels itself are fun (if a bit frustrating). Some of my favourites so far are this and this.
One thing I do notice though is that the game requires you to collect enough Electoons in order to get past some of the levels in the game so it's a pretty good idea to collect as many Electoons as possible in one level when played it for the first time. I haven't had to go back and collect Electoons to get through the levels yet but I've a good feeling I may have to do so.
I also enjoy levels or parts of a level where you have to ride a Moskito in and shoot and suck up enemies and spit them at other enemies. It's a nice change of pace from all the platforming and it's also one of my other favourite things in the game.
I would like to say more about the game but it might ended up into a review instead. :P One thing's for sure, this game has definitely earned my GOTY this year. If you're a fan of platformers, especially 2D platformers then I say go and get this game. NOW!!!
In other news, I've also been playing LA Noire and Sonic Generations, both of them I got since last week. I like LA Noire but I suck at this game so I often have my sister beside me whenever I play this game. I never even manage to finish any of the Ace Attorney series as well. In other words, I suck at solving cases, even though I'm fond of reading and watching mystery genres. :P
I enjoyed Sonic Generations as well, even though I prefer Rayman Origins. One thing's for sure it certainly is the best 3D Sonic game I've played, better than Sonic Unleashed, which is my all-time favourite Sonic game. That's all I've got for this blog. Until the next one!
