Manufacturer's Description
Michel Ancel, celebrated creator of Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil and the Raving Rabbids returns to his roots to bring us Rayman Origins: a high-definition, 2D side-scrolling, platforming adventure in full 4-player co-op!
Play Rayman Origins and discover or rediscover the magical universe and legendary 2D gameplay that captured the hearts of millions of fans...
When the Glade of Dreams is overrun by “nefurrious”Darktoons, the Fairy Council hastily invokes Rayman to save the day; but the hero of light isn’t quite all there…To help him, Rayman teams up with his best friend, Globox, and two crafty wizards, the Teensies. Together, the world’s most hilarious team of heroes will need to restore peace to the Glade or watch as their beloved home vanishes like a bad dream...
Features:
- Rebirth of a Platforming Legend: Rayman Origins brings back many of the classic characters, revived in their original 2D form, as well as a whole new world of characters and environments. Discover the roots of Rayman by collecting pieces of the Glade’s history, and assemble them to reveal the truth behind Rayman’s origins.
- 4-Player, Jump-In/Jump-Out, Co-op Gameplay: Play as Rayman in the solo campaign, or have up to three friends jump in at any time to play as Globox or as one of the two Teensies. Players can leave at any time without affecting the others’ progression.
- Unique Approach to 2D Art: A rich world with over 100 characters and 12 unique environments created by some of the videogaming’s most reputed artists and animators. This creative approach to 2D design will recapture the hearts of platformer fans and introduce a new generation to a much-loved characters in his original 2D form.
- A Vast Playground: Rayman Origins includes over 60 levels of 2D platforming gameplay designed for all ages and playing styles.
- Unlock new abilities progressively and return to previous levels to discover new paths and secrets.
- Variety of Gameplay: Rayman Origins is a platformer at its core, but it has elements of many game genres. Rayman, Globox and the Teensies gain unique abilities as they progress through the adventure, including swimming, diving and the sensational “HairlyCopter.” The game also features many elements of action, adventure and beat-’em-up gameplay.
- Epic Boss Fights:A giant pink monster with hundreds of eyes... A possessed, mountainous golem... An evil daisy-cum-carnivorous plant...Rayman Origins will put players to the test with these and many more challenging boss battles!
- A Handful of Highly Talented Artists and Engineers: Rayman Origins was developed by the UBIart team in Montpellier and is built on an open-source game engine—the UBIart Framework—designed by Michel Ancel to allow much smaller teams of artists and developers to produce incredibly high-quality graphics and gameplay quickly and efficiently. This garage-game approach has led to great strides in creativity and innovation.

No Wii Mario this year....never fear for Rayman Origins is here to give you your platforming fix this yuletide.....and it's jaw droppingly brilliant.
Stunning hand drawn graphics, off the wall music and sound effects and challenging without being stupidly hard (stand up last years Donkey Kong). The platforming is the meat of the game but you also get sideways scrolling R-Type shoot-em-up levels and massive end of level boss battles. Throw in a multi player option which turns the already frantic gameplay into a relationship destroying delight, and you've got the best Wii game of the year.
If you were brought up on early 90's platformers such as Earthworm Jim and Coolspot then Rayman Origins will rock your world.
Think Mario on acid and you won't go far wrong. c

Fun:
Im just get this out the way Rayman Origins is one of the best platformers of 2011, The kind of gameplay we haven't seen since the 90's with games like Earthworm Jim.
With it's music,level design, game play and art style, this game should not be missed.
But yet that will be Origins main problem. Most people will not of heard of this game or are too busy play games such as modern warfaire 3 or this seasons other "must have games". And that is wrong so I plea too you gamers this game is amazing and well worthy of your time.
The story begins with Rayman and his friend relaxing noisly, on the branches of the Snoring tree. The noise awakes the underworld, which starts a big battle wich ends up with are heroes caged and there fairy's kidnapped. this is where are game begins,Its from here that they embark 60+ levels rescuing fairys,lunes and collecting new teeth for the Grim reaper. Just simply charming and funny yet not deep story.
Sadly of course, a game can not live on being charming and funny alone, so Im glad too say origins plays extremely well with its smooth, tight, and responsive controls in which if you mess up its your fault not the game.The Game sound track is a pure joy to listen too, with its beats and catchy tunes that when partnered with the animation will bring a smile too your face, As you play this game as in old Rayman game you slowly unlock new ablitys that include,floating,wall running, shrinking etc. all make the game incresingly more challengeing.
This game I can hardly recommend more for any platform player old and new available on Wii, Xbox 360, PS3.

Mario style play with a Rayman spin
Though it is clear they have borrowed much from Super Mario bros, it definitely has its own "spin". The unlocked powers keep interest and get you thinking about how to get that... Read more
