Rayman Origins takes the New Super Mario Bros. model and injects it with total and unspeakably beautiful anarchy.
The levels we've played have Rayman and his blue monstrous buddie Globox leaping between familiarly-shaped blocks bobbing in lava, being chased upwards by giant, angry plants and delivering high kicks to zombie Victorian explorers. It's utterly, lovably nuts.
Raving Mad
Fall to your doom and you can control your character as a floating bubble, where a slap from a living character will pull you back from the brink. You'll then be back and ready to bang gongs that'll scare away legions of bugs crawling over your TV screen, using your whirligig hair to blow clothes off baddies so they're in their pants and posing for end-of-the-pier photos at each level's end.
Rayman Origins is also coming to 3DS in November. Here are the first screenshots.
I agree with this. I wanted it to be released on 3DS though and low and behold, Ubisoft decide to bring out a 3DS version too, so i will be grabbing that.
Can't wait!!
Roll on November!
this is what ive been waiting for every since the first rabids game,
....my wallet is going to hate me
Looks good!!
Wow this brings a tear to my eye! Do you know how long it's been since the last 'proper' Rayman was released? 8 years! As a massive Rayman fan i'm incredibly pleased that finally there is a new game on the horizon
November can't come soon enough!
attention all rabid lovers: look away now! i hate those rabids. most irritating creatures ever. if they had made them a separate game it would be fine. but when you dragged Rayman into it...
we need a new 3d rayman adventure
I got this on my Xbox 360 before Christmas. I've never had so much fun playing a platformer whereby your co-operative team mate could be beaten senseless by your character.
Let's hope the 3DS version makes the cut.
