From the PlanetXbox360.com feature list:
"When you mention the throng of co-op games available for Xbox 360, you usually get giddy with excitement. After all, a great assortment of these games let you work alongside friends towards a common goal, whether it’s blowing the Locust Horde to hell or having a field day jamming out with friends. But let’s say, just for the sake of argument, you didn’t have access to an online connection. Are you out of luck when it comes to playing multiplayer games with your friends? Hardly. There are a number of games for the Xbox 360 that let you compete with (or work alongside) others without the need of an internet connection. So, just to keep you on the safe side, we’ve got our favorite local co-op/multiplayer games. Pick up those four controllers (or more, if the game supports it) and have yourself a party."
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
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
Still waiting for an origins and legends successor. My wife and i were addicted to these games at the time.
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.
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.

We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."
I'm really looking forward to playing Rayman Origins. Looks great.
Final Fight !
