![]() ![]() ![]() Once the game picks up, you begin to realize how incredible Rayman Legends actually is. It helps you learn the controls, and grow use to how the game will play. It’s fun and entertaining, but the game doesn’t shine right away. It’s what you expect to find in a solid game. The game starts out with the most basic of elements for this genre. Now you know the game looks great, sounds great, and feels great, but how does it play? It’s one of the greatest platforming experiences in recent years, that’s how. It isn’t the gameplay alone that makes this game a blast to play-it’s everything. It’s so ridiculous and absurd it gives you this silly warm feeling inside. When you finish a level, the character and Teensies start dancing as celebratory music plays while an invisible audience’s applause congratulates you. Rayman Legends has a magical ability to make you laugh and feel good over the stupidest stuff. The silly expressions on characters faces, the music tied directly into the quirkiness, and the classic slapstick comedy that strikes true into the most cynical of hearts to bring out that cheery smile we all have. It’s the atmosphere across the entire game that really draws out what can only be described as a Looney Tunes vibe. It isn’t the style alone that gives this game such a unique feel. Everything goes hand-in-hand, and it makes Rayman Legends an even better experience. The theatrical entrance of a boss is only equally matched by the composition played besides it. Sneaking through a maze of lasers and enemies with flashlights feels authentic, when the music begins playing a theme that could come straight out of a James Bond movie. Rayman Legends exceeds in this department so highly do to the fact that the music isn’t only catchy, it also ties intricately into the gameplay so well that everything you do matches the musical backing. At other times, the songs become dramatically complex with a plethora of instruments coming alive to cheer you on your endeavors. It’s charming in its simplistic melodies that are still blissful to ears. It’s still addicting, and it won’t take long for you to whistle along. A majority of the time it’s simple, to the point where the entire background music might be someone whistling. The very next thing you’ll notice is the catchy music. Are there any other adjectives I can throw out there to describe the presentation of this game? How about calling this game remarkable, extraordinary, inventive, expressive, and most of all, a refreshing take on video game art. The different themes across the varied worlds are unbelievably creative in their presentation, and you’ll always be amazed at what comes next. The characters, enemies, landscapes, and bosses are all original looking while being incredibly eye appealing. The game’s color scheme is wonderfully vivid, and it causes everything to pop out at you. It’s cartoony, it’s silly, it’s colorful, and it’s absolutely beautiful. It will blow you away with its artistic style. The first thing you’ll notice when you boot this game up is the remarkable graphical presentation. It’s not a bad thing it keeps the game focused entirely on the amazing gameplay instead. The story is only there to give some reason for why you are doing what you’re doing. Rayman and friends wake to discover the princess and teensies have been taken prisoner by the nightmares and five evil teensies. Rayman and his friends were slumbering as the world was being taken over by evil. There is a story for those that care, even if it doesn’t matter at all. Rayman has proven this perfectly with their successful game Rayman Origins, and now continuing their success with one of the greatest platforming games to date: Rayman Legends. Some games have proven that updating to 3D isn’t necessary, and staying in 2D could actually be the wisest choice. That’s not to say all have failed, Mario is still extremely popular in 3D elements. You can think of any Sonic game as evidence of that. There is an undeniable downfall in the genre of gaming as many popular 2D titles have found problems in switching to a 3D style. The platforming genre has been around for a long time, and it once was the strongest genre with the power to sell systems. ![]()
