IGN Reviews - Rayman Origins Video Review

[AnimezingAMVs]

You can't watch IGN without someone spelling ignorant.

[mickyd110011]

IGN, Y U NO GIVE 10? no one cares if theres no online mode. i can understand the game would be fun online, but dont make it a rating!

[supermidnightgamer]

whats with IGN and there habit of not giving games that deserve a 10/10 a 10/10 i mean look at this batman AA: 9.3 batman AC: 9.5 MGS collection ; 9 jak and daxter collection: 9 uncharted 2: 9.5 portal 2: 9.5 MGS4: 9.5 but the collectors edition is a 10 rayman origins : 9.5 bioshock : 9.4 do you see the pattern here?? what swrong with giving a game a 10 when almost allof us know is a NEAR perfect game.. whats thats that its no GTA or COD?? thats why?? well u no what.....F##K YOU IGNorant

[fatroc33]

How da fuck no one bought dis game?!? It's fukkin awesome!!!!!!!

[snozer2]

"Ooo"-Bisoft?

Really?

[Stunnaz84]

Just got me the demo before seeing this review I was floored by the gameplay and graphics definitely didn't expect it from being this good!

[rezaxxx]

damn i thought mario was awesome (ofc it is hehe) but seriously rayman exceeds on fun factor even compared to Mario on 3DS, the Vita screen together with the awesome graphic and the fantastic design + smoothness is mind blowing for a handheld. If companies keep making such games i will mainly buy games for Vita alone.

[soridosuneku]

@crozof It's kinda hard to avoid opinion in reviews. Imagine reviewing a game you didn't like simply because of the genre, style, etc. They still gave it a great score.

[tablob]

@AshXXMayftw well thats a very closed minded and uninformed view and its totally untrue, i dont know why you even bothered commenting

[crozof]

IGN all you guys care about is online play you stupid review punks!

[9fears26]

@crozof I agree with IGN. It would have been alot more fun with online COOP.

[Hunt78987]

when is this out on 3ds?

[JoeyTheKid101]

@Hunt78987 March 2012

[wonton3397]

Should I still get this game if I'm not gonna play co-op?

[redprint347]

@wonton3397 It's even better co-op!

[spudgun3000]

@wonton3397 im not playing co op and its still fun!

[AshXXMayftw]

I don't know why they bothered putting this on the PS3 and 360, all 360 and PS3 fans care about are realistic graphics and gore.

[rsicojack]

@AshXXMayftw Its not the fans that only care about M rated games its that they dont give us much choices I mean it looks like evry console game that comes out is M rated we dont get much of a choice

[randomsketchguy10]

buy the disk all your friends are gonna wana burn a fattie and play this its ridicolous

[allotheabove123]

Just ordered this game from Gamestop Brand New for only $20 :D I cant wait, i LOVED the demo.

[CyclonicDeath]

I don't know why IGN complains about ''no online'' seeing as how back when Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong country were out there was no such thing, and those games were masterpieces.

[RHCPndRATM]

I was gonna get this game on ps3 but backed out, should I get it for the vita?

[babysnakes345]

Rise Above Hate

[sharozsheikh]

@babysnakes345 cena?

[b11gangsta181]

worst game of 2011

[CyclonicDeath]

@b11gangsta181 You're going to be seeing this game alot in the future, since this revamp was such a success, deal with it hater.

[ccwwemufc]

Thumbs up for the Far cry 3 ad

[SuperBeastinitup]

is this on pc or xbox?

[ThePhil2dub]

@SuperBeastinitup it's on xbox. Pc version will be out soon

[SuperBeastinitup]

@ThePhil2dub Thanks, do you know when?

[memitoot]

fuck you ign this game sucks

[randomsketchguy10]

@memitoot fuck u get friends

[originalCreeper]

Got this at game stop for 18 bucks. Best purchase ever. Its like Raman 1 + Mario bros (For the wii) + Loco Roco. (Loco Roco mainly for the look and sound)

[SweaterSwagg]

It was probably for the best that this had no online, could you imagine the chest stages with ANY lag?

[FullStrikeOG]

I just beat the game on wii, one of the best games this generation.

[Pacsun4dc]

On sale for $20 New at Gamestop Now!

[TheSean432]

i honestly couldn't care less of online. platforming and online don't really mix. racing, and shooting games, but ign seems to think anything without online should have regardless of the the type

[Frenchcanadian100]

I'm not a fan of the Super Mario Bros games (but def. mario galaxy) and I'm considering this. I think I will get it for the 3DS!

[Varbess]

I don't see the negative rating of no online on the Skyrim review...

[TommyD758]

@Varbess Because this game has multiplayer.....

[TheWitty135]

@Varbess This has co-op, Skyrim doesn't. That being said, neither should get points off for not having online.

[SnoochieBoochies2012]

@Varbess lol why are you comparing this to Skyrim, nothing alike.

[Ricardo7250]

@Varbess because skyrim is a RPG and its a full package of what you want to play, and it doesn't need multiplayer when you will play the singleplayer for 200 hours, i bought skyrim and I just think that no multiplayer is very OK

[paircorner]

@Varbess they don't do that because they fear telling the truth

[rezaxxx]

@Varbess

Totally AGREE! Its like nowadays reviewers just HAVE to make a negative point and most times when they lack a good point they mention on-line is missing.

I mean why the hell does all games need online capability! Its a platform game damned.

[Swotoful]

@Varbess

Maybe because Skyrim wasn't made to be a co-op plat former you fucking moron. No need to try to justify this game getting a 10. There is no way the topic of online didn't come into the developers mind when they were making the game. They just got lazy and let a bunch of people down.

[TokisarioKR]

@Swotoful Skyrim isn't a platformer btw. And I don't think that Co-op online for a platformer is very nessecary, becuase it really isnt'.

[Swotoful]

@TokisarioKR

Do you understand the meaning of the word "wasn't"?

[TokisarioKR]

@Swotoful Yes I do, yet I don't remember you using the word "Wasn't"

[Swotoful]

@TokisarioKR

Well, reread the comment.

[TokisarioKR]

@Swotoful I did, you still didn't say the word "wasn't" :3

[TokisarioKR]

@Swotoful Oops sorry I was reading the wrong comment. So now what is this about?

[TheKingofduty2010]

whats up with ign complaining about games not having online? Thats just a stupid reason to drop the score

[AngryFurki]

WTF!!!! 9.5!!!???!!!

[steve0rama28]

Great game to top of a line of video games from a classic title. Arguably the best rayman game.

[luvwrapper]

im a nintendo fan...but this game deserves a 10

[andrey9797]

Do you know what golden moments you can have with friends in local Co-Op?

I think local Co-Op is better then Online because you will have a lot more fun when a friend is right next to you.

[SonnyNikeFootballer]

a verry good game, i buy it yesterday and i am inpressed of it

[WeirdCoStudios]

whats oobisoft?

[KingChief73]

@WeirdCoStudios it's spelt *ubisoft, and yes that is how it's pronounced ;)

[WeirdCoStudios]

@KingChief73 i wasnt trying to make a joke and point out the fact that ubisoft callit U-bisoft

[chepelatino]

poor people, thay play only Call of Duty... they only know cod cod cod

[SteffenProductions]

Just got this game, and i love it! It's one of the best platforming games i've ever played!

[VariousArtists2]

I never play online. All of my best co-op moments are when I can talk with the guy next to me on my couch. You can't smack somebody online for stealing all of your Lums.

[drewbox789]

@VariousArtists2 Yes it isn't that big of a deal but it would be nice to play this game online with my best friend from high school who now live in another state

[oldskoolrocker1000]

@VariousArtists2 Yeah I much prefer to be an ass to somebody I know then somebody who'd just get angry like a small child.

[qazwsxfdr]

@VariousArtists2 But online co-op is better than playing alone....

[ZeBigStrat]

How many hours could someone expect to get out of this game?

[XTWDeadShot]

@ZeBigStrat quite alot 60 levels all different multiple challenges funny story

[Sillywomanproduction]

@ZeBigStrat A very long time

[CataclysmicBane]

Who needs online? Does no one have real life friends anymore? Me and my friend have had some of the best multiplayer gaming since the SNES with this game!!

[eedobaba7726]

@CataclysmicBane

I have friends that live in another country that I would love to play this game with. Local multiplayer is great, but having the option of online co-op would be nice.

[CataclysmicBane]

@eedobaba7726 It would have been a nice addition but i believe this game was made with buddies on a couch in mind.

[Dooke80]

@CataclysmicBane SNES? The first Rayman came out on the PS1.

[CataclysmicBane]

@Dooke80 I said its some of the best multiplayer gaming since SNES. Not specifically Rayman. Im talking about double dragon, contra and battletoads. Get me?

[Dooke80]

@CataclysmicBane I see, though you said "since the SNES with this game!!". Haha that is why I thought that.

[crabby125]

wrong it came out on the Atari Jaguar, then came out out on the Saturn and PS1

[spyderman0129]

*facepalm* Not every game needs online.

[galanmartinez]

Just bought this game... It's amazing. 😍

[MamaLuigiBarrelRoll]

Hearing about what's exclusive in different versions of the game, I'm honestly glad I'm waiting for the PS Vita version.

[hassan3o7]

are they doing a PS1 by doing a 2D ...then hopefully move to 3D like Rayman 2

[1996MetallicA]

They probably didn't give it online because it would be impossible to beat the later levels with online lag. Even the slightest connection problem will screw you over and you would just get frustrated.

[LPNinten]

did you seriously not give it a ten because of no online? that just shows how ridiculous gamers are these days...

[SweaterSwagg]

No online was a stupid reason to mark this game down. If there was online and if you had ANY lag on the chest levels it would've hurt the game for real.

[UttRConcrete]

i like it more than lil big planet and mario wii

[UttRConcrete]

whoa this games is AWSOME!!

[jappamogo]

my brother who is six years old got this game for crhistmas, and i have almost played it more than him! this game just so original and full of fresh collors and sounds!

[AQreviews]

It's a shame that ignorant people look at this game, and say it's not worth the $60 price. If it's not worth the price, why did you 21 million people buy New Super Mario Bros Wii? Not only does this have more content than New Super Mario Bros Wii, but it's cheaper. Now this game is around $30 whilst New Super Mario Bros Wii is still at a high price. In fact, New Super Mario Bros Wii should be $20, as it is just a rehash on a DS game. Rayman Origins is a masterpiece and saying that is big. Buy it

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

@AQreviews Because he's f**king mario. Thats why lol

[TheCaptainEpic]

@AQreviews What consoles is this on?

[AQreviews]

@TheCaptainEpic Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360. PC, 3DS, and VITA verisons are on the way

[fee68]

Who needs Online !?

[fee68]

That's what I call The best game of the year.

[ARMEXICANS]

if it did have online, what would u do?

[PlaystationDude2095]

Oh Man I have got to get this game

[BlackOwnedDollars]

@PlaystationDude2095 Its lovely. I got mines cheaper too. Its like 30 dollars at gamestop if im not mistaken.

[sunderland11100]

Should i get ps3 or 3DS version?

[Mrchadwarden1]

SKYLANDERS IS BETTER!

[alexisfri]

@Mrchadwarden1 somehow i very much doubt that

[RapDog62]

@Mrchadwarden1 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[badborat]

@OffAirProductions I think it does, drop-in-drop-out wouldn't be too hard too include and yet would make it so much better to play with friends, the reason i didnt get it :(

[ecuadorianeel]

The Wii version is on sale for $20, I picked up a copy at my local Toys R Us this Thursday. A great game for $20!!!! You just cant beat that. It a shame this generation of gamers are too much into photorealistic graphics and 1st/3rd person.

[ViewtifulDarnell]

I hope the 3DS one either has Download Play or Wifi play

[OffAirProductions]

I admire the 9.5 rating, but does this game really need online play?

[ChibiWaira]

@OffAirProductions Well, they had to find something wrong with it.

[OmegaMetroid93]

@OffAirProductions: Nope. Honestly, online play would probably just make it worse. The tiniest bit of lag would cause the harder stages to be near impossible to beat.

[PrinceOF9Imagination]

@OffAirProductions No, it doesn't. IGN only likes to give high rates for bad games and low rates for good games. They always try to find a reason to give them 9.5 or below!! IGNorants!!

[sheogorath19]

@OffAirProductions 10.0 it is :)

[thedarkchocolate4]

@OffAirProductions nope

[XTWDeadShot]

@OffAirProductions i honestly think this game would be too much for 4 player online not easy to manage

[skaterx4708]

@OffAirProductions Nope, but it could have had it.

[andrix20101]

Ye I'm thinking of getting this on vita rather then uncharted because its cheaper and I think will be more fun

[killian31175]

@andrix20101 This game looks AWSOME ! on the OLED sreen.

[TheKamanick]

@killian31175 It's not even released yet. Nobody has seen it on the OLED screen.

[killian31175]

@TheKamanick Game play and people say that it looks awsome on it.

[TheKamanick]

@killian31175 ...What? You're not even making sense. The game hasn't even been released on the Vita - NOBODY has seen it.

[killian31175]

@TheKamanick Look it up then and people HAVE seen and they say "the colours pop on the screen"

[revan210]

@TheKamanick They have footage of it dude

[boinghd]

Thumbs Up For Rayman 2 N64 Nostalgia!

[dragonkidofhearts]

i went to the toys r us website and it said it's only 20 bucks but when i click on it it says the subtotal is 60?

[MrIndiemusic101]

I love platformers but im not sure if I should get this for my first vita game or uncharted could anyone help because Im slightly leaning toward rayman because its cheaper.

[SquallLionheart9999X]

@MrIndiemusic101 Aren't you tired of shooting people in the face? I sure do. Play this game for once. Not trying to start war or anything. But these type of games, doesn't come out every day, like FPS.

[MrIndiemusic101]

@SquallLionheart9999X I dont mind FPS's but they have to be original like I like crysis, timesplitters, halo 1 and 2. But with modern shooters they are all the same, from campaign to multiplayer. I don't understand how people never get bored of cod

[SquallLionheart9999X]

@MrIndiemusic101 Yup. They sure don't make games like these anymore. Good thing, I grew up in the 90's :D. But yeah, support this game trust me, its a blast from the past. You'll love them. You can find Uncharted for cheap in the future.

[MrIndiemusic101]

@SquallLionheart9999X Yeah I grew up in the 90's too I still play goldeneye 64. The reason I was debating because I could just as easily get this game for my 3ds or wii or ps3, since its multiplatform, but uncharted is an exclusive and its a fantastic series of games. I was hoping the MGS HD collection was gonna be a launch title but that doesn't seem to be the case so I brought it down to 2 titles,

[SeeJC23]

Im getting this for sure, it's only $19.99 right now at toys r us website, I think it only last til Saturday, I hope it helps ppl on a low budget for a great game:)

[SeeJC23]

I'm getting this for sure, it's only $19.99!!!! On toys r us website, I think it's only that price til saturday though.

[Leon8563]

i like the game

[GunnarKG]

Great game. Beats out New Super Mario bros Wii as far as platforming and creativity goes, probably on par with Donkey Kong returns but that game has some control issues and is brutally hard at times.

[nexttotheborder]

I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting much about this game.... But oh wow it blew me away!

I wanted to buy sonic generations instead of rayman. But I'm glad I got rayman instead.

It is just so amazing and fun to play that is hard to let go the controller. I played at least three times some levels because they were pretty impressive.

And the graphics.... Amazing! Looks like if you are playing a living cartoon. That ubiart engine is hands down the coolest engine I have seen in a looong time.

[Roxasfan514]

It seems this game lives up to the originals. I'm definitely going to buy it soon.

[Regal4point1]

Fuck skyrim. GOTY 2011

[Noodles6464]

this game looks amazing

[MrTorriechristywwe]

people don't play good games like this!

[BUBallerSicEm]

Traded for MW3.

[GunnarKG]

Great platformer. Does not touch the creativity of Super Mario galaxy 1 & 2 but it is way better than New Super Mario bros Wii.

It´s maybe on par with Donkey Kong returns but not nearly as hard.

[LightningRiderX]

@GunnarKG your comparing apples to oranges, 3d platformers and 2d platformers can't really be compared in that way

[GunnarKG]

@LightningRiderX

That´s true.

I am just dissapointed in NMBW, DKR and now Rayman have shown tha old school 2D platforming can be just as creative and fresh as other games. I was hoping that some of the imagination from the Galaxy games would spill over to NSMBW. Instead we got a game that does not seem that much more advanced than the 20 year old Super Mario World :(

[MrIndiemusic101]

@GunnarKG I agree with you on new super mario bros wii. But Donkey kong country returns was one the best platformers I have played in a while. What I loved about it is that it was difficult. Modern platformers lately havent been very difficult.

[GunnarKG]

@MrIndiemusic101

Loved DKR, the control issues were minor (not the shake to roll thing but sometimes when i was hanging on something he just let go and i am sure i didn´t release the button) and i have no problem with difficulty :) Some people might see i as flaw sadly.

[GunnarKG]

@MrIndiemusic101

[VinWizzy]

Downloading the demo because of all the praise this game has been receiving. I might consider picking this up since don't have a platformer for my 360.

[jagmantistribe]

why do both top comments have MW3 in them?

[MrDavidX96]

@jagmantistribe cause its contraversial: 1/3 of people hate it with a deep nd profound hatred that defies logic, 1/3 people sleep with it, take it for walks and worship it in their basment every day ending with a "y", and then 1/3 of people really dont care

[smr919]

Probably the most frustrating game I have ever played -.- I still enjoyed it though, shame it hasn't sold very well.

[Heavyrain5501]

$20dollars at toyrus

[ImSorryLMAO]

I just played the demo, holy fuck, I'm getting this game pretty soon!

[anniekrul]

@xHAZELRAHx when the xbox 360 came out and was the console you would buy if you would want to play shooters.... i like shooters but zelda LBP ratchet and clank and rayman are waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better in my opinion

[lukeizze]

1:01 looks like angry birds ha

[lukeizze]

fuk these adverts man

[MNIMAB]

This game is perfect...for my five years old boy

[shotty077]

Bought this game today

i Love it.

[callmemarcer]

Thumbs up if Crash Bandicoot should give this ago!

[uttblackboard]

Thoso homo's at ubisoft should have waited longer to release this game,then it would have sold more !!!

[therealGLAD]

battlefield is better graphically, this is better visually

[rtzlnsinga]

Let me tell you something: "Rayman Origins" is the best looking game out there and have a excellent controlling and it makes fun! It should be the GAME OF THE YEAR, because it is amazing, beautiful, challenging and it makes so much fun!

[maxbarrass1]

@rtzlnsinga Not to mention, friendly to children with a adult over tone. That is with the nymphs or fairy's. Why did Skyrim win Game of the Year? Because it is hyped, while this game received little hype from most big video game companies.

[iamtheNoNamer]

To anyone who didn't buy this game:

YOUR LOST!!!

[OnlyAServant]

Forget about PC douches saying battlefield is the best looking game of 2011, this is down right beautiful and it's fun and original.

[sonicx30001]

Who gives a crap about online the game would be slower and that would ruin the fun

[maxbarrass1]

@sonicx30001 Also there would be less levels because they need more dedication to the online portion of the game.

[chunky128]

i don´t know why but this game reminds me donkey kong returns

[duderino123456]

I had the first rayman game on ps1 when i was 7 years old back in 2002 or someting, and now that I completed rayman origins with 1000 gamerscore, life is complete.

[SoulTroll06]

$20.00 at toys r us on sale!!!

[Ivan244545456456]

i thought i wa smoking some shit

[xboxfanaticgabriel]

No online ?! Damn. But everything else seems SWEET !

[0IIIIII]

Globox is so cool.

[phyliciahollins]

Damn Toys R Us is sold out of the XBox & PS3 versions of the game ....anyone know of any other place selling it for $20?

[Anthraxinternational]

No online!? A 60 dollar game and no online co-op!?
