Rayman Origins for Wii Reviews by Gamers

When Rayman Origins first came out I was excited, I finally got to see one my favorite heroes back in action. However Rayman Origins did more than just excite me, it made me realize how well a video game should be. The graphics are down right beautiful and it has so much atmosphere wherever you go. The music is fun and catchy and even makes the areas much better. The best part of Rayman Origins however is the gameplay. This game will put any gamer's skills to the test, you will die a lot but the controls are so good that it's your fault, not the game's. Multiplayer is just as fun with being able to smack your friends around is so sweet. Rayman Origins is one the best platformers, heck even one the best games I've ever played. It's on every system so it's at least worth a try.

this game was both addictive and lots of fun. but as the game pogressed i began questioning whether or not the creators were trying to drive me crazy and then questioned my own sanity when i insisted upon seeing it through to the end. there were some levels that i literally played certain parts 50 times before being able to progress only to die inches past the previous area and then would have to start over again. insane! i was beginning to think i was going to have to pay a neighborhood kid to beat it that level for me just so i could continue on. but all in all a good time. but why was it sooooo hard?

What this game has to do with the Rayman Raving Rabbids party games – well I quite don’t understand.
But that’s not needed – Rayman Origins is a 2D platformer where you play as Rayman, and your task is to defeat some evil force and rescue four magical sisters.
Each of the sisters that’s saved will give Rayman and friends a power – like swim underwater, run up cliffs, change size and hover.
But a few of these powers feel nothing more than a means to get through a level. And you don’t decide when you get big or small.
As you go through most levels, you collect hovering objects and find hidden areas where you rescue pink circle thingies. You get one point for getting through the level, up to two points for rescuing each hidden creatures, up to two points for getting a lot of the hovering objects, and one more point for getting through the level in a fast time.
These points are used to unlock other characters and other levels.
The level design here is great, and the boss battle are fun – some of them have you fly on a fly (weird, but that’s Rayman for you). Those levels are the ones I had the most fun with.
But the later sections of the game get really hard – and in order to finish each section, you have to get more and more points. There are times where I had to backtrack to earlier levels in that section and gather up points I didn’t get the first time around. This can really frustrate players who just want to do a speed run to the end of the game.
Rayman Origins is one game that’s a definite rent, and fans of 2D platforming games might want to buy it.

OK, so I was just testing the waters with this game to see if I liked it to know if I should ask for Rayman Legends for the Wii U for Christmas. I don't think I will. I got through most of the game. I liked it, but it just lacked something. I mean every level was basically the same. Collect the yellow shiny things. I definately like the 3D Rayman games better.

I don't even know what a Raving Rabbid is. All I know is, that this game didn't quench the hype. It had interesting levels and music, but for some reason I felt like I was playing Donkey Kong Kountry. Overall it feels like a children's game. I thought it was going to be artsy fartsy, not snot nose farty, if that makes sense. I would recommend playing this game on the PS3 or 360 due to the uncomfortable playing style of the Wii remote turned sideways. This is actually the first Rayman game I have ever played, and it wasn't that bad, I just expected it to be excellent. Give it a whirl.

I had recently played this game and was very surprised at how well the game transferred to the new consoles. I have been a fan of rayman since he first appeared on the ps1. The graphics on this game are beautiful. the worlds are exciting to play including being able to fly on a mosquito, ride on the wind, slide on water, swing and jump on food and also bounce on drums and thats just the first 3 worlds. The controls are easy to pick up either move with the nunchuk and jump and attack with the a and b buttons or turn the wii remote sideways and use the control pad to move and 1 and 2 buttons to jump and attack. the game is easy enough for young gamers and yet challenging for even vetern games. the only con i have with this game is not being close in on rayman. I would recommend this as a purchase if you like rayman games of the past or you just like to play a good platform game.

I will be buying this game! Not like the old Rayman but still a fun game!

See above then move on to the next game in your list.

This is one of the most fun games available on wii (if you do multi player).

The description of the game lured me in – meeting 100s of characters, numerous worlds, and an entertaining story line. Unfortunately, the game is repetitive, too difficult (how many times can I swing on the same vine before the game decides I’ve done it right!?) and poorly written. The graphics were wonderful; however the game was infuriating at best. I don’t know how many times I had to die -on purpose- just to restart a section, or I’d miss all the lums and need to re-do the whole level. My wife and I sat hyping ourselves up just to finish the last level, because we were so mad we just wanted to quit. Once we finally finished it, the end cut scene was SPOILER ALERT a 10 second snippet of a woman saying “wow that was a nightmare!” All that work, and sitting through well over 15 minutes of credits (and you watch them twice)… for that!? We felt like morons, wondering what the hizow just happened. The characters you unlock all look identical, just in different colors. Every level was so difficult, yet repetitive. Run, and pray you don’t run into anything. Oops – did you just run into an invisible wall? Oh well – your bad. I thought this game would be relaxing and a good retro game. I wished so many times I could break it in half – too bad I had to send the disc back. The characters were fun and the puns in the level titles were great, but the fairy girls were floozies, half dressed and provocative. Then to celebrate, the characters do nice little “pelvic thrusts”, and dry hump/stroke the lum cannon. The “livid dead” seemed unnecessary and vulgar. Definitely not something I want my children playing. Overall this game did not teach me anything about the origin or rayman. I thought it would be fun for my wife and I, as well as my two 8 year old twin brothers, but for all of us it was just frustrating. Don’t worry – no creators were stressed in the making of this game – in fact they weren’t even needed. The end is exactly the same as the beginning – real creative… lame.

this game was excellent because of the new bosses

it is fun. it is too easy though
