Got all the Teensies, creatures, and beat every level. All I have left is the rest of the costumes. I think I can give a final verdict.
Gameplay:
The same as Origins, the controls are still great and so is the level design. The Murfy levels, while not the best levels in the game, were still fun and were nowhere near as bad as some people said. There were a couple of times, were I was like "GLOBOX YOU DIPSHIT!!", but overall they were fun. My least favorite part, were the Invasion levels, some of them are actually really fun, but others are down right frustrating. I'm looking at you, Infiltration Station. The music levels are fantastic, but I think the 8-bit levels were a bit unnecessary, the could of just made new music levels.
Graphics:
What more can I say that hasn't been said, Legends is a BEAUTIFUL looking game. All the characters are expressive and the game is filled with tons of personality in both levels and enemies.
Music:
Christophe Heral does it again. The game is filled with catchy, silly, and even downright epic songs. They all fit the levels perfectly. The remixes of Eye of Tiger, Black Betty, and Woo Hoo are great as well.
Nitpicks:
I think you know were this is going. My only real nitpick is the story, or lack there of. One of my problems with Origins was it's small story, not only was I mad that that removed the Origin story all together, but the fact that they cut out a VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF DIALOUGE. Legends somehow managed to less of a story than Origins, there isn't even a proper ending! I really hope the next Rayman game has a story, 2D or 3D. Just to let you know, this won't effect the game's overall rating.
Verdict:
Overall, Legends is a fantastic entry in the series. I can't really decide if I liked it more or less than Origins, so I'll say they're tied. While Rayman 3 is still my favorite game in the series, Origins/Legends are a very close second. I recommend getting the Wii U version, and/or on Vita if you want it on the go (although I don't have a Vita myself.) I can't wait to see what the future holds in store for the limbless hero.
B+
