Well, I have to say my rating is just based on how I feel toward it. 6.5 is already a good rating if I judge based on how I feel. Under 5 isn't good, above 5 is okay. 6 is good, and above 8 it's a masterpiece. Rayman Origins gets a 6.5 on that scale.RayFan9876 wrote:I agree with all of this. Not to the extreme you put it, but near. I would move my rating to more of an 8.25/10.Drolpiraat wrote:I'll be brutally honest and give this game a 6.5/10. The visuals are nice but they're supposed to bring an atmosphere to the game, which they fail to do. The music simply isn't memorable enough for me - none of the themes really get stuck in my head like they did in Rayman 2 and Rayman 3, the Mario games, the Banjo series, the Final Fantasy series, etc. One way to describe this game's music is "emotionless". The soundtrack has too much mindless drumming and too little emotion (a good example is "Chasing a Dream" from the Land of the Livid Dead). The game is lacking in the story department which makes it hard for me to care about any of the characters and feel like I'm really in the game.
The platforming is a challenge though, so it's a fair effort that deserves a 6.5.
If I'd compare to other games though (the basis that many reviewers use) I'd say 8.25 too.
