"The Vita version of Rayman: Origins may lack a few of the mechanical touches of its console brethren, but in terms of sheer beauty and fun, little is lost in translation."

This platformer's got legs.

As the gaming industry moves onwards and upwards and each genre evolves, it's interesting to observe how the platformer has come around full circle since its debut. Whereas the rest of the industry st… Read more

It's fun and it plays great in co-op

My partner and I have been having a blast on this game; it's cute, funny and enjoyable. Loved it! Apparently, I need to put 250 characters so I need to say stuff that don't really need to be here... A… Read more

Rayman Origins Review

Developer: Ubisoft Publisher: Ubisoft It is a worry that Rayman Origins arrived on our shelves when it did. Amid the deluge of triple-A releases, there is a real worry that Rayman will go relatively u… Read more

Review: Rayman Origins (Wii)

Let's get the critical evaluation out of the way: Rayman Origins is a fun, smartly-designed 2-D platformer that strikes a balance between the charm and detail of Kirby's Epic Yarn with the trial and e… Read more

A Fun and Vibrant 2D Platformer

With the “golden age of platformers” a time long gone, and both the Rayman character and platforming mechanics having been largely absent from the franchise for a fair while now, it would be easy to c… Read more

Rayman Origins is, simply put, absolutely delightful.

I say delightful because every time I boot up this game and let the gorgeous visuals and bizarrely brilliant soundtrack wash over me, I just can't wipe the grin from my face. The game's not all looks… Read more

A must play

Rayman Origins is one of the best games you can own on the PlayStation Vita. Although it doesn't do anything particularly exciting with the hardware's numerous bells and whistles but makes the transit… Read more

Style and Soul

With games now these days doing everything scientifically possible to appeal to as many people as possible for the maximum amount of money, Rayman: Orgins says to hell with that and just does what it… Read more

Rock Solid Platformer

In my little video review, I give my thoughts on Rayman: Origins (There's also some additional stuff after I'm done talking about Rayman, but the game stuff comes first) Now - one little thing I didn'… Read more

SPM: Rayman Origins

The last Rayman game I played was the original Rayman way-back-when on the Playstation. A masterpiece of 2d platforming that was also bastard hard. I’ve still never completed that game, even after dow… Read more

Whoa!

The first of many Vita games I purchased is by far the best. I had this for XBOX 360 for a short period, but like many games I let it rest for too long and never got any further than the first few sta… Read more

The best platformer that I've played in years.

Rayman does what it aims to do brilliantly. The controls, which are vital to a platformer, are remarkably responsive. The level design is top notch as well. Everything around Rayman is great, the only… Read more

Rayman And All His Glory

As this is the first game I play of Rayman series, I'm quite impressed by the fast pace this game takes and the beautiful graphics and music this game presents. Rayman and his friends wake up the old… Read more

Rayman

These days it’s pretty hard to find a new and exciting 2D platformer no matter what system you’re playing on. With the advent of 3D gaming 2D platformer’s have all but completely evaporate from the ma… Read more

Excellent on every level, Rayman is a delight

The Short Pros - Fantastic art design - Absolutely beautiful graphics and animations - Precise platforming control - 2-4 player co-op that is actually not frustrating - Amazing soundtrack - 60+ levels… Read more

2D beauty redefined

Platformers have been on a rise as of late, but none look and play as good as Rayman Origins. That's my personal opinion, of course, but once you play the game you'll know why. The demo really impress… Read more

Rayman makes his triumphant return to platforming

Ever since Ubisoft introduced us to the lovably psychotic rabbids, Rayman, who was technically the star of the first couple of Raving Rabbids games, has gone into an unexpected retirement. The limbles… Read more

Rayman's return to Two-dimensions is fantastic one

Michel Ancel would probably not appreciate it if you referred to Rayman as the “French Mario”. Ancel’s limbless goofball has never shared much of the limelight that catapulted his more popular and uti… Read more

Amazing Platformer

I'm not a long-term fan of Rayman. Rayman 2 was an OK game. The Rabbids were amusing, but didn't lead themselves to great games. So, I was trying Rayman Origins without huge expectations. I was FLOORE… Read more
