That's the one! I thought 'pelicans' sounded wrong somehow. Thanks. I'm now on Gourmand Land, which is incredibly fun to play. The ice parts remind me of Eat At Joe's and the lava parts remind me of the Mr Skops boss fight from Rayman 1. Love the boiling pots in the lava sections and also the...

I now have Origins. Only cost £24, bargain! :) A few things: 1) It is so similar to Rayman 1 that I got goosebumps playing some of the earlier levels. They really have recaptured the spirit of the first game perfectly. 2) It is a lot more difficult than people on here have made out. It's...

Think I definitely prefer Martin's music. It's a lot more true to the music from the original game, whereas the Heral stuff could be from any game. I lost interest in the franchise when the third game came out, so I definitely didn't want another 3D adventure, serious or not. I had played...

F**k multi-player mode, this game should be tailored to suit a single player. I thought it was called 'Rayman' not 'Rayman and friends'. Sorry but I just find multi-player mode irritating and pointless.

If you live in 1876...

Thanks, I was not aware of that. Well, I might have noticed it before, but I haven't played Rayman 3 for a very long time now. In fact I completed the game just the once (shortly after it came out) and then didn't really go back to it (which is hardly surprising really).

Yes, I'm a little disappointed that they didn't include the '!' signs, but it's a minor complaint really. The game still oozes Rayman 1 in almost every facet. Regarding the items inside Mr Dark's coat, is it possible that the red boxing glove is actually Rayman's telescopic fist? Perhaps Mr...

'Big Mamma's Lullaby' - Now there's a level name which could have come straight out of Rayman 1. Very similar to 'Mr Sax's Hullabaloo' or 'Space Mamma's Crater'. I still don't have the game yet, and I don't think I can wait much longer. I'm going to order it on Monday hopefully.

So, for those of us in the UK, the wait will finally be over tomorrow. Having said that, I might wait until Christmas to buy it, because I'll have more time to play it then.

Rayman 1 > Rayman 2 > Rayman Origins > Rayman 3 for me. His Rayman 2 look was sort of a 3D version of his Rayman 1 appearance, albeit with some tweaks to his nose and eyes, then Origins is a 2D version of his Rayman 3 appearance. Overall, I prefer him with the straightened hair, rather than the...

Really? Looks totally different to me. I've seen the pose where he stands up right in the Rayman Origins demo, but it looks different to that somehow. Maybe my eyesight is on the blink :P

In the first video, if you skip to 2:09 and look at the picture in the right hand corner (the blue one), you can see a screenshot of a level from the new game (looks like the ice/food level), but Rayman appears to have his Rayman 1 design. I really wish they'd gone with that design for the final...

Anyone who can complete Rayman 1 100% is, in my book, an extremely skilled gamer. There are so many classic PS1 games which are difficult, just look at the first Crash Bandicoot game or Kula World or even the first two Oddworld titles. Games like Modern Warfare 3 are for pussies who love to blow...

Mr Stone looks awesome!

:mefiant: I personally see Origins as the true sequel to Rayman 1 that they never originally made, but that can still mean that it's set after Rayman 2 (but before Rayman 3). The original game deserved a proper 2D sequel and finally it's got one, although I'd still like to see them finish the...
