Rayman Origins

[Master]

Gamepro - 4.5/5
Joystiq - 5/5

Nice, let the good reviews continue to come, they are a testament to the absolute brilliance of Rayman Origins.

Gamepro - 4.5/5
Joystiq - 5/5

I can add that both Gametrailers and GameInformer gave the game a 8.5. That's all still above the 8 out of ten prediction from Haruka. I knew this game is great.

BTW, demo is awesomme. I have all nine electoons but does that also unlocks the red Globox skin in the full game or do you have to re-unlock it again?

[ikke471]

You will have to re-unlock it!
Sorry dude...

[Rayfist]

alright! 0:36 im about caught up with rayman3ds, I need to get to 0:35 now

It does not matter, the opportunity to survey the game for ourselves prior to it's launch should be satisfying enough.

alright! 0:36 im about caught up with rayman3ds, I need to get to 0:35 now

I envy the skills of some of the players here...
I've not even managed to beat 0:50 yet...

Gaaw, they pull the avarage score down. We need a random Italian site to give it another 9.5:

That is random...
But the good score is appreciated.
I'm still trying to get over the mind-boggling revelation that IGN of all reviewers, gave Origins a 9.5.

Valuable secret: schools cannot make you go anywhere.

Exactly what I wanted to say!

It's just something I found on Metacritic, didn't see any other reviews there but that and the IGN one.

[Rayfist]

new time trial score: 0:34, I did good beat that rayman3ds!

One of the only big problems I had with the game is how it blocks the end-game content until you’ve collected enough Electoons to pass. These smiling orbs are the game’s currency, earned by finding hidden stashes and picking up a variety of collectibles scattered throughout the world. If you don’t make collecting them a priority from the start, you may find yourself grinding earlier levels like I did.

They see that as a problem? I love that kind of stuff.

I actually plan on deliberately rushing through the levels and avoid secrets at first, then come back to each level later and find every cage that I missed. It's the same way I play Rayman 2.

Done it for every Rayman game, and for Origins too.
I like backtracking, with more powers, and more abilities, it makes levels more fun to traverse, since you have a new-found mastery over it because of abilities gained.

But parents can D:

And stupidly enough only our class is going the 25th and the other classes are going on the 21st D:

Excactly. When you go back to previous levels and find that there's much more to them than you thought, it practically doubles the game's value imo. I agree that backtracking can be bad at times, like when you simply have to play through the same level several times with little to no change, but this is the good kind of backtracking!

Same here. But for me, I don't do this only with the Rayman games, I do it with others too. I play through the game first, then I go back and try to get the bonuses and everything else.

So:

10/10 - GameFan
9.5/10 - Nintendo Power, IGN, Random Italian Website
9/10 - Official PlayStation Magazine (USA)
8.5/10 - GameTrailers, GameInformer
4.5 stars - GamePro
5 stars - Joystiq



I've just read this month's issue of the gaming magazine I usually buy here, and they wrote a preview about RO. The redaction has got high expectations and they will review the game in the next issue. I smell another big score!

This month's issue also lists suggestions for Xmas gifts, and among them there is Rayman Origins!

I read the big article in gameinformer, it tells about how Michel grew up and how he became succesful, it was interesting

[Paradigm]

Another vote for backtracking. If you did everything in one go, it would be boring.

(I didn't post any major spoiler I read - I now know the truth about the spoiler we've been discussing. Some of us may have been close to the truth, but nobody has nailed it yet. )

[So... now that you know the truth about the spoiler, could you give us some indication of what sort of twist it is? Does it play a major role in the story, and is it as crushing as some of us have postulated? Are you happy with how it turned out?]

And have you found out anything about the chronology of the game? The [Tarayzan] quote you posted (if it was a quote) seems to suggest it’s a sequel.

[Rayfist]

Wow, I am getting really good at these time trials
I now have 0:33
