Rayman Legends (360/PS3/WiiU/PC) review

[EvilBoris]

That music is amazing, it's so clear what it is, but without actually being it!

It's a fantastic game. Easily one of my top all-time favourite platformers ever and I didn't think I would ever say that about any modern game. Wonderful levels and so much content. The 20,000 lums section is excellent. Reminded me of Abe's Oddysee in some ways. So much variety and so much fun.

How much of Origins is in here? I seem to be unlocking tons of Origins levels.

[Family Fry]

Sure there was around 40 levels from the original 63 levels on origins.
Impressive they got that many on top of what is already there.

Also playing on Vita. Wow! I agree the murphy levels are a pain, but it's really great fun to play and I must admit the art style and graphics are very impressive indeed. I find the gameplay very relaxing, and well suited to the vita.

[Dogg Thang]

Finished the Olympus levels but I'm a good way off unlocking the Dead levels. Adore the Dragon Rock level. Actually all the music levels are wonderful. Such a wonderful game. A huuuuuuge number of people in the credits. I mean, I can see the work but I was amazed at just how many people worked on it.

Guess I better get playing those Origins levels to build up teenies.

Just got this today and completed the first set of levels. Two gripes: I like to jump around, you enter levels by jumping; and the analog control on the WiiU should have been a little tigher: maybe completely without a dead zone.
Other than that, I'm loving this. Comparisons with the New Super Mario Bros. series are hard to avoid, and this absolutely trumps over any NSMB game, from visuals to level rhythm. A bit too ealry to judge on level design but Rayman Legends so far is the game that make the best use of the WiiU pad, bar none.
I hope Nintendo will look at this game for their next 2D platformer and take a lot of notes. heck, even 3D. I would love to see the next 3D mario with this kind of graphics.

Yay Living dead section is done, yikes some of that was tricky

[briareos_kerensky]

Luchadoreeees!
Ah, I don't recall the last time I laughed so much in a platformer. I'm getting used to the controls, though I still find a bit counter-intuitive how wall jumps and wall proximity are handled...anyway, great game.
Maybe a bit too easy, even about discovering the hidden blue thingies; overall variety and stuff to do is excellent though, loving it.

[ETC]

Like it so much I bought the vita version yesterday. It's different again with the touchscreen, liking it and on the vita screen

I should be finished vita origins in the next couple of days then start this, how do you rate it compared to the home version you were playing?

[ETC]

Graphically the same give or take, I personally prefer the non touch version (ps3) than the touch based Murphy levels but they are also really enjoyable just different. It's a lot better than origins... A lot

[wakka]

Yeah it is better than Origins. And that was a great game too.

I do think Rayman is nicely suited to a handheld.

[Fader209]

I think the Living Dead Party levels have broken my eyes. Totally worth it though.
Would be pretty amazing if Ubisoft made a whole game of the music levels, I can't imagine it would be that hard for them either as they must own some music from the dance/party games they made.

[Destrukticor]

Finally finished all diamond cups, all teenies, creatures etc.
Fantastically fun, beautiful to look at and hard as nails in places. The highlights being the music levels and the invaded levels which tickle that one more go feeling that pervades the whole game.
If you have a single jot of interest in platform gaming you need to purchase this.

Well I finally started playing this last night after finishing origins while away at work (both vita). Only completed a few levels, but it was massive highs and lows for me. When it's just the straight forward platforming it's brilliant, but all this touch screen stuff and twisting the vita about nonsense is just **** that I don't want to be doing. It isn't enjoyable for me personally in the slightest bit, I really do loathe gimmicky control methods immensely. I'll stick with it as the standard platform stuff will be great, but it will be a case of seeing if the alternative half of the game kills it dead for me.
