fredsanford Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I love this game. The colors, mechanics, sounds, etc. I hate that I have to collect a certain number to move on. I never liked collecting in games. I also play next to my sons room so I have to keep the volume very low, so I can't really hear the little guys screaming/crying.. I just wanted a fun play through platformer.. not an easter egg hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melwing17 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I sort of agree, as I have rented the game and have a limited time- I really love it, but I fear I won't finish. But- I think I actually prefer it this way. The game reminds me sooo much of classic 16-bit platformers. It really has a Donkey Kong Country feel to it. I absolutely love this game. The secret-area-completionist stuff in those games is duplicated perfectly in Origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that this game doesn't hold your hand as much as most modern games do. Reminds me of how hard a lot of games were during my childhood.

TheMarkOfPower Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 loving it so far, very nice looking, feels great to play, none of the annoying jump through hoops crap that all other modern platformers seem to do these days, great achievemnts and collectibles. the only reason someone could not appreciate this game for what it is may have something to do with the fact that it is actually quite challenging, especially the speed runs.

DecadentBeaver Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Its a love/hate relationship for me with Rayman. Love how it looks and plays, just like any platformer should. Hate it for howw blookdy hard it can be. I picked it up new for £17 in sales after xmas, and have enjoyed playing it. Gettin the skull teeth takes the word challenging to whole new levels for me.

Ravenskull666 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yup, love it too! Teeth levels defo get harder which was nice (but frustrating too) but the thing I hate is I'm always like 2 or 3 coins away from getting 350 medal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenous IE Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Liking this game alot, know exactly what you mean about being 2-3 off the 350 medal > Thing I figured help is always start a level with a heart, as picking up extra one's gives you another 5 points each time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behonkiss Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 This was my favorite game of 2011, no exaggeration. Everything about it (The visual designs, control and level layouts, scoring and reward system) just appeals to me. It's a shame that we'll probably never see another Rayman game after this flopped in terms of sales, but what a way to go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel 360 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I´m loving it too. The game plays smooth and that´s something I love, specially because when you die you know it´s your fault, so it push you to try again and again till you get better, it´s the same gameplay I loved about Super Meat Boy and Splosion Man, and visually this game is more powerful (also on the sound department, that soundtrack is just awesome). I wish the game was longer though, I´m still some speed trophies and the Living Dead Tour thing away from 100%, but if I had just go for finishing main story that would have been a problem, you can easily finish in one day, not a good thing for a retail game- And, if anything else to complain, the story is just inexistent, which may work in a 80´s retro-fan way but sill fells cheap when you end (I repeat, I haven´t go to the living dead part, so maybe I´m losing still the real ending or something like that). Except for those two things, the game is just awesome, I was expecting a good game, I get an even better one. To me this is one of the best of 2011 just for that, one of the few games that actually gave me more fun than I expected from the initial trailer. Something the rest of the games of this past year hadn´t even get close to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethal.b Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Loved the game. The collecting side of it wasn't too bad as you diddnt really ahve to go searching. Most annoying thing about the game is the music. When doing time trials and you keep failing, the song for the level just restarts and they are only like 4 second long songs that just repeat constantly. They also diddnt include any audio options in the game which was rather disappointing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cheapest Turtle Beaches are like 30 bucks at Target. Just a suggestion to fix your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZarfotAcheivements Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 the only reason someone could not appreciate this game for what it is may have something to do with the fact that it is actually quite challenging, especially the speed runs. Tell me about it ha. Great feeling of achievement when you finally hit the time though! Some really hard ones but i love hunting for achievements like this, makes them worth while.

Ipathvvv Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's awesome while playing co op. I want to get all achievements but its starting to get boring. Just happy I didn't pay 59.99 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosalie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Tell me about it ha. Great feeling of achievement when you finally hit the time though! Some really hard ones but i love hunting for achievements like this, makes them worth while. This really reminds me of the old rayman games. Frustrating yet fun. Totally love this game. I like the fact that you can't get these achievements through a guide but only with skill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaPrincess Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm loving the game. The achievements are brilliant and playing a nice old school side scrolling Rayman game is wonderful. The only thing that bugs me is that only player one can receive the achievements, it's much more fun to play multi-player but that's pretty difficult when there are two achievement hunters in the house. Also, while I was playing with my eight year old nephew, we had just unlocked the first Nymph when he turned to me and said 'O.O Aunty.... she's half naked!'. Which is right, these Nymphs need some more self respect! 8/10 mostly for nostalgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticZro Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I love the game.. i loved the old rayman games on ps1 also... just the treasure catching levels are sometimes little bit hard.... but its one of the best games in 2011... thank you ubisoft.

u3sr Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah game is pure fun, but i can see it will be frustrating if i ever go for all achievements Only paid £9 for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan2101 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Recently bought the Collector's Edition for cheap, really enjoying it. Haven't played a platformer since last gen, this certainly filled the void. Now I'm anticipating the sequel, those music levels look fantastic.

Harry98 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 As much as I enjoyed this game, I can't deny that I was pleased to complete it. Especially after those last few skull teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I love this game a lot. There was a glitch with the fourth skull tooth that was an absolute pain to get though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragarach Luin Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Until I transfer the licenses onto our new Xbox 360, my wife can only play Rayman Origins on my profile. So we're tag-teaming the achievements. I get the time trials and skull teeth, and she gets everything else. And we're having a blast. the music is fun, the characters are adorable, and the game just looks terrific. I will say that it suffers from the trademark Ubisoft floaty controls (right, Assassin's Creed, Beyond Good and Evil, From Dust, etc.?), but it is great fun to play with friends and family. Keeping this one on the harddrive for when the nieces and nephews come over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
