I agree. It was a stupid move by Ubisoft to release this game in the same month as the most anticipated titles of the year (and on the same day as their new Assassin's Creed game). They should have released it a month later, then it might have done better. But I think another reason it's selling badly is because Rayman isn't as popular in the US as he is in the UK or France (plus, most Americans these days only know of Rayman as "the weird guy from Raving Rabbids").
Another possibility is that the seven islands seen in the bottom-left corner of the Rayman 2 map are actually the islands from Rayman Origins. And another is that the Glade itself split apart into multiple islands when the world began to disintegrate as a result of the Electoons’ imprisonment.
I really wish we could find a copy of the map that was on the old Rayman 3 site.
So, in my opinion, this is the best game in the series. The gameplay is darn smooth and wonderful, it's fun to play and it's one of the only games where I die lots of times that doesn't make me frustrated but wanting to iprove myself.
So far, the Desert of Didgeridoos (in the game it's 'Dijiridoos') might be my favorite world. The Moskito levels are genius, the characters are beautiful, and I go pretty shocked when the game began and Rayman made a pose in the cage. I never suspected it would be actually THIS smooth. It's wonderful, again.
I expected that I will only play as the Teensies, but actually every character is great to play.
I loved the game to bits and all, but in my opinion a game with a clearer objective and a somewhat progressive story that makes sense will always improve upon it. Nonetheless, it's still a fantastic game. It was some of the most fun I've had in a while.
I did not like the Moskito levels however, they frustrated me to bits, most likely because I'm trying to get 350+ lums on them by myself.
