Rayman Legends (PS3)

Why don't games companies make more 2D games like this? They are so much fun!

I enjoyed Rayman Origins that much I didn't think they would better it but they have by a mile. I love the music levels at the end of each world and I love how there is loads more to collect.

I would diffidently recommend this to anyone who is into this type of game, even some who aren't. And for £17.99 I couldn't complain at all apart from the delivery time was slightly crap.

Rayman Legends certainly packs a punch over its predecessor, Rayman Origins. The gameplay is superb; there's a good variety of wacky levels, loveable characters and a bouncy soundtrack. The musical levels are brilliant, such as Castle Rock, and I enjoyed the option to revisit revamped old levels from Rayman Origins with the new characters and stylised features. The graphics are worth mentioning too as they are simply stunning and the arty, painted style of the game is beautifully detailed. Overall, Rayman Legends looks fantastic but more importantly, it plays fantastic. This is silly platforming at its best and there's the option of 1-4 Players so the whole family can get involved in the fun.

You don't see many easy going multi-player PS3 games these days. If you want to get away from those heavy serious solo type games for a bit I would recommend this game. I got it for my girlfriend not expecting much both being 20+yrs Lol but I was very wrong not had that much fun on the PS3 for awhile. "Couples Warning" You have to work as a team in the main multi-player game so expect a little arguing in places. Lol :P That said it's loads of Fun can't wait to play again!

I didn't grow up playing the Rayman series, my introduction to it was Rayman: Origins and I thought that game was excellent, but Rayman: Legends does something all sequels should do; gets even better. There are more levels to play through, the diversity of the levels (underwater, stealth, musical, etc) will keep you interested to keep playing. One thing I was somewhat disappointed with was how few the level were in Rayman Origins, this is definitely not a problem here. There are also daily challenges (how long you can go through a level where you escape fire, that kinda' thing). You also get to unlock levels from RM:Origins. Level design is what really captivates me, there's an 'awe' moment in almost every corner and there are secret doors to find. The levels can be both colorful and bright at times, and dark and strange at others, but the details in both is really impressive that it almost reminded me of an era where platformers (ex, Castle of Illusion) were distinguished and didn't all have the same bland design. All in all, it's a really fun game and it shows they really put an effort into making it not only a copy of the previous one - which was in its own amazing - but also to add more content and fun unlockables.

This is a colourful platformer which dazzles at every turn with great animation, sounds and character. Even little things like objects doing their own thing in the background and a little "ooooo" when you find a secret area adds to the happy factor. This game plays out over a number of levels with the aim of saving the kidnapped teensies along the way. Some are easy, some are challenging, some are set to traps that you may yourself trip and some are hidden behind foreground objects. You dont have to save all of these, but doing so will open more stuff and achievements up. Collecting the thousands of lums across the levels will also open up scrathcards to get little bonuses. This game likes throwing loads of little "well done" tokens at you, even if some are purely visual. Besides the normal levels that you take at your own pace are the chase levels. You have to keep ahead of a wall of fire or similar. Some of these are set to well known music, and the music levels are an utter highlight that i wish there were more of. There are also a load of levels from the origins game altered slightly to suit the teensies gathering nature of this game. The levels are sometimes easy and sometimes ridiculously hard. Its worth noting that you cant complete the game fully without saving all 700 teensies, and thats a mean feat. Some of these teensies are in timed elvels whereby to save all 3 you have to reach them in 40 seconds.

Raymans moves are a basic jump punch glide affair, but he can also run up certain walls too, making for some interesting level designs in places. The levels are also mad, with a mexican chasing you, or dragons breathing fire over everything, side scrolling shooting sections etc. There are also online challenges asking you to beat other players scores, with the qualifying factors to attain the trophies changing as more and more players add to the scores.

For those who actually try to fully complete things this represents immense value. The console trophies will encourage you to hit certain targets, though some people will give up on trying to save all teensies as even just not being able to get one particular one means no final boss.

I bought to my kid and i play more then him.
Fantastic game for playing with the family
Great jof from Ubisoft.

This game is absolutely amazing! I was apprehensive that this would not measure up to its predecessor Rayman Origins, but i had nothing to worry about- I was hooked from the beginning!
Firstly, I'm so glad that they released this across all platforms, rather than making it a Wii U exclusive which is what they were originally going to do. They did a terrific job adapting this outside the Wii U console's controls, specifically the Murfy sequences which are played by pressing the circle button to make Murfy perform his actions. I personally think this works just as well as the touch pad method on Wii U.
The graphics are beautiful. I thought Origins was pretty, but this is just breathtaking. A lot of thought and detail has gone into this, while still retaining the cartoonish humour and charm that this series is well known for.
The gameplay for Rayman Legends is just top notch- there is so much variety here that you will not easily get bored. One minute you are playing a standard platforming level, next thing you know you're running a frantic gauntlet, and then there's the music levels- these are awesome sequences that involve running, jumping and punching to the music- often to a well known song. These need to be experienced first hand as writing about them does them no justice. In place of the time attacks from the previous game, you now have "invaded" levels. You still need to go fast, but they are less repetitive than time trials.
If you want to take a break from the main gameplay, the online daily and weekly challenges are a welcome addition- I thought I'd just try them out, but I soon found myself playing them over and over saying "just one more try!". They're completely optional, but are a good way to earn extra Lums, especially if you want to unlock that final character.

If you enjoyed Rayman Origins, then I cannot recommend this game enough. It improves on it in every way possible, and I cannot put all its good points into one review. It really needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated. A near perfect game, and easily the best thing I've played all year.

Got the game today and played through the first couple of levels. All I can say is wow. The game has improved on Rayman Origins in every way; the colours, the music, the level detail, the game mechanics; everything. The graphical detail that's in each level is something to see; from a bat flying in your face to a little rabbit under a tree branch in a forest. I can also see that this game is going to keep me busy for a while as it's also packed with 40 levels from Rayman Origins in addition to Rayman Legend's levels. This is a great buy if you enjoy games like Super Mario Bros. 5 stars!

I am probebly be condemmed for this as all the reviews are very positive but here goes anyway. I played all the Rayman games on PS2 and I am still enchanted by the 3 d effects and gameplay (especially Rayman 3) whic were quite a cahllenge at times but so good when you got it right. I now have Rayman legends on PS3 and while it looks lovely it harks back to the original PS1 game with basic side scrolling. This is no bad thing and I knew this when I bought it but (and its a big but) the levels are very generic and to my mind rather repetative at times. Maybe I have been playing too much Ratchett and Clank (best games on the PS2) which on PS3 have very original game play.

Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are back to embark on a new fantasy adventure through a series of legendary worlds with new environments, characters and enemies.

Rayman Legends is a delightful platformer, and one of the best I’ve ever played. Thanks to clever level design that toys with genre conventions, it gets incredible mileage out of four basic moves. And with great local co-op and dozens of unlockables – including stages from Rayman Origins, special character skins, and mini-games – there’s a lot to do. The difficulty is so smoothly balanced that it can be played with with kids or adult friends and still have a great time.
