Rayman Pirate-Community

It is terrible, just plain terrible. The great gameplay and extremely responsive controls are still there, but everything else vital to the game, just simply isn't. The crisp visuals and lush backgrounds have now become a pixelated blur and quite a few of the character a models have been distorted in some way or another. In the end, all the visuals look like they were ran through MSpiant and edited in Photoshop to remove rough edges, it just all looks poorly made. The same goes for the audio, it has been horribly compressed like low-bitrate MP3 files and makes the speakers pop and crackle when set to full volume. Surprisingly though, the cutscenes look surprisingly good, with balanced audio-level and crisp picture, making them the only thing in the game that was properly converted. As to be expected, the framerate has been butchered in half to 30 FPS as opposed to 60 and for the most part keeps it solid with a slight drop in some of the Tricky Treasure stages. You might as well not even touch the 3D depth-slider, because there is almost little to no noticeable 3D effects to be found in the game, it almost looks like as if your viewing the game from a distance, with only one to two layers of 3D used in the whole game. Not to mention at the end of The Land of The Livid Dead, when then black screen outro plays with the viewhole centering on Fe De La Mort is distorted and painful to the eyes when viewing in 3D. Plus, The level "Get Away!" has also been removed entirely from the game, and there's still a lot more to complain about. With horrible compression, missing enemies, simplified level design, and missing content, Rayman Origins on 3DS simply isn't worth your time or money, unless you are completely desperate to play the game or to have it on the go. The fanbase can thank me for the favor of wasting $30 USD on this god-awful port and telling them how truly horrid it is. The end result is most likely due to two factors: The capabilities of the hardware and the willingness of the developer, and I think we all know how much effort Ubisoft Casablanca puts into their work. This port is a disgrace to the Rayman brand, The Ubisoft Montpellier team, and Michel Ancel's name. If you must, pick it up when it's in the bargain bin for $10, or just do yourself a kindness and buy the Vita version.

Final Score: 5.5/10

btw, a mod needs to add vita to the poll for which version to buy.

Dang this is a really nice idea... I'd love to see an Asian world!

Guys, what is the first time we ever heard of the Dojo? Wasn't it the challenge app reveal vid? I have a theory... why are Dojo challenges extremely rare? Maybe because an Asian themed world wasn't originally planned to be included in the game. Maybe they decided to make that world after the WiiU version was delayed. The Asian world could contain part of those 30 new levels they are adding.

If that's true, the Asian world is really a brand new idea and they wouldn't have a lot of assets (such as graphics) for the Asian world yet. That may be why the Dojo challenges are so rare... they might still be working on creating that world. The other worlds, such as the Land of the Livid Dead, had already been created long before they designed the challenge app, so it was easy to build challenges for those worlds.

EDIT: Anyone notice how the pig constellation looked like a pig from Raving Rabbids?
