I love it, but I think the price is a bit excessive for what it is.

It's fine, although I'm not entirely convinced by the soundtrack.

It's okay, although I wouldn't have included the accessibility options (infinite lives, etc.).

I expected more from Ubisoft. They should have made some improvements, just like the fans did with Rayman Redemption.

For me it's no, if they know about it it's because of me :(

The possibility of improving Rayman's stats (not only his power-ups) independently is also a very interesting idea (strength, speed, agility...).
Lols how could Rayman possibly compete against Mario Party

I may or may not have forced one of my friends to play Rayman Origins, but thats about it. I may have told some other friends about it, but I dont remember.

I don't specifically think everyone would have played it, but I did at least play co-op on the UbiArt games with a friend a few times.

I think most do, but not because of me, just because a lot of people have at least heard of Rayman.

I actually think a lot of people have heard of rayman, which a lot of people don’t realise, but them playing it is another story

Tbh, I think competing against Mario is probably one of the things nobody should do, just like Rayman Legends being released at the same time as GTA 5 :lol:

And here we go with the next poll! We have discussed about R1's difficulty, so it's time to discuss about R2's one. According to the yearly survey, most of the people vote for Rayman 2 as the easiest game of the series. So I'd like to ask you... Do you think Rayman 2 should be harder? Did you find it hard when you played it for the very first time?

The game is pretty easy, up until the final boss. That thing sucks

I think it’s an easy game to play through, but it becomes hard once you begin to go for 100%, IMO

Yeah, it’s one of the only games that did backtracking properly

After having played it several times, I can't really say if it's hard or not, basically because going for the 100% seems easy for me. However, I didn't remember feeling it was very hard nor very easy, so I guess it's balanced :D

I remember struggling with the Jano chase as a kid, and I had my brother shoot the crystals while I was taking care of jumping and moving around. I quickly got the hang of it and I don't think I needed do that more than once, though. :lol:

Reminds me of how I had to help my brother with a jump in the woods of light when he first got the game :lol:

As of this day, I do find the game to be easy for me. Mainly because I am good at remembering where everything is after the first time I played when I was 9 and then later 100% it years later including the secret lum. I think the only thing I haven’t really tried/figured out yet is how to access the secret area in Tomb of the Ancients.

All you need is to stand in front of the door and type in the right code. On PC it's "playjeff", and on Dreamcast it's some sequence of buttons that I don't recall…
