In 2006 Ubisoft decided to make a spin-off to the Rayman series called Raving Rabbids and it sold fairly well. Ubisoft saw how well it sold and made sequel after sequel to this game for many years, and Rayman, a series known for its great platformers, had stopped making platformers in favor of party games. But when to sales of Raving Rabbids started dropping, Ubisoft decided to go back to what made Rayman so great, a 2d platformer. And I think it turned out pretty well.
Graphics- How many of you bought Wii games and found out that they were a different game or had weaker graphics than the PS3 and 360 versions. Not this time, the graphics are the same as on the 360 and PS3, and they are gorgeous. The art style is really colorful and fun, the animations are great, the backgrounds are all really good looking and the whole game is pure eye candy. It is one of the best 2d art styles I've seen. 10/10
Sound- The soundtrack for this game is great. The music always fits the level and is very catchy. The style of music can also change depending on whats going on in the game, for example, you can be swimming in a water level with calm and peaceful music in the background, then a giant fish come and the music becomes faster and more intense. But not only is the soundtrack great, so is the sound effects. You can often hear small noises in the backgrounds like animals, and sounds for running and jumping sound great. 9/10
Addictiveness, gameplay, and design- The game is a very simple 2d platformer. The game is mostly running, jumping, and punching. The boomerang punch (as I call it) from Rayman 1 has been replaced with a faster punch that hits right away. This is a change for the better since it keeps the game fast paced. There are also other abilities in the game like swimming and running on walls, all of which control great and are easy to use. The game will occasionally change from a platformer to 2d shooter. These sections were pretty fun but the platforming sections were must better. The level design was one of the games best qualities, the levels were very well designed and very fun, it will be a game that you will play quite a few times. 9/10
Story- I enjoy games with deep stories and stuff like character development and plot-twist, but sometimes I just want to forget about story and enjoy the game. This games stories and cutscences are not too big or detailed. The story is just about Rayman getting a old lady angry so she and attacks the land. The cutscences are fun and enjoyable and the short light-hearted story sets a fun tone for the game. 8/10
Depth- The game has over 60 levels, all taking about 1.5-3 minutes, some are a bit longer though. The game takes a good 10 hours to beat and even after its beaten there is still a ton to do. The game has many unlockables, a bonus land, and extra challenges to keep players coming back. The game is also pretty replayable and it will definitely be a game that last a long time. 9/10
Difficulty- This game's difficulty is challenging, but not frustrating. You will die a lot, but not due to cheap enemy attacks, bad controls, or poor design, you will die because the game has a challenge to it, some levels may take some practice, but if you work hard enough at it any gamer could do it. The game is also consistent with difficulty, never spiking, you may have a bit of trouble, with enough practice you will finish the game. 7/10
Overall- Rayman Origins is a amazing game with that succeeds in almost every aspect. It is also one of the few Wii games that has not been downgraded from the 360 and PS3 versions. It is one of the most fun wii games out there and can even compete with New Super Mario. Its only 20$ and is one of the best games you can find in the bargain bin. 9/10
