IGN- Rayman Origins Review

This generation's most beautiful platformer is also the most fun.

Enmson4936d ago

wow IGN likes giving 9.5s lately...

Chuk54936d ago

It's hard not to, this is literally the greatest years games has ever had. Considering 2007, 1998 and 2004, that's saying a lot.

Brownghost4936d ago

2012 is better than 2011

Laxman4936d ago

Brownghost,

2012 is going to an amazing year too, but it wont be quite as good as 2011 is. Maybe second best? Either way, im sure unless you're a hardcore retro elitist, we can all agree now is the best time to be a gamer!

Brownghost4936d ago

why i think 2012 is going to be better
-darkness 2
-gta V
-bioshock infinite
-soul calibur V
-mass effect 3
-ghost recon future soldier
-RE operation racoon city
-hitman absolution
-max payne 3
-borderlands 2
-far cry 3
-diablo III
-metro last light
-prototype 2
and many more great games. In my opinion 2012 will be the best.

Kingdom Come4936d ago

You forgot one of the biggest games of next year, Halo 4. I still think 2011 was the superior year for gaming...

Rayman for the Dreamcast was amazing. This doesnt surprise me too much. Ill grab this when its cheaper.

Yawnier4936d ago

It is not only that, this is also probably the best year in gaming since 2001 and 1998.

aviator1894936d ago

9.5, wow, I really wasn't expecting that. Well, it looks like I'll have to push bf 3/mw 3 aside to get this game.

thereapersson4936d ago

Pushing MW3 aside? Not too hard of a task.

dourvas4936d ago

WOW i am impressed man... 9.5?
i wish people bought that game instead of that shitty modern warfare 3
its more creative

JoshuaN4G4936d ago

MY GAME IS BETTER THAN YOUR GAME HERAHERAHA

Optical_Matrix4936d ago

Did NOT expect that at all. Part of me wants to wait for the Vita version though. Game looks so fun, I'd imagine I'd like to play it on the go as well.

Why Rayman Origins Is Still Worth Picking Up After 10 Years

Ubisoft is giving away Rayman Origins for free and although it is a decade old, it is still one of the greatest classic platformer titles.

i think they should try to make a rayman 3D open world game for PS5 & Xbox Series X

PS-Gamer-19861243d ago

Still waiting for an origins and legends successor. My wife and i were addicted to these games at the time.

IanTH1243d ago (Edited 1243d ago )

I'll be curious if they make one. If they do, it won't look like they did, at least. Ubisoft retired the UbiArt framework used to make these games, apparently because the tools were too hard to work with across their many studios. Which is a bummer for sure, as I feel those games having a fairly unique aesthetic also benefitted them.

EDIT: Apparently I misremembered. They did say "hence the decision to temporarily put it aside", but they also said "it’s still there, and you will see other things using it". So it sounds like a new game could possibly still use UbiArt.

LucasRuinedChildhood1243d ago (Edited 1243d ago )

Fantastic game. Have great memories playing Origins on the Vita.

I will say though, around 2/3s of Origins' levels can actually be unlocked in the even better Rayman Legends which you can find dirt cheap these days.

Legends has so much variety and those music levels are amazing.

Gamer791243d ago

Loved the rayman games especially origins and legends.

MWH1243d ago

Even the first Rayman game is still worth picking.
