Remember the time when we were kids and all the time we do is watch cartoon on TV. Yeah, it was fun. We learn so many things from cartoons. Personally I learn American English so well from there and no one can deny the fact that cartoon was not part of their childhood days especially if you are born in the 90's. Well here comes a game which will make you remember your childhood days cartoon and wish those days would come back again.
Introducing Rayman Origins developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, a 2D platforming game which will surely hook you up for days. This game will surely make you smile, I guaranteed!
STORY: There is no real story as such. At the intro, you and your buddies will be sleeping and snoring so loud that will disturb an old lady so much that she will send her minions to take care of the snoring problems and that's when you strike back. An old man version of creature is started to blow bubbles (That's the problem and don't ask me how that's a problem cause I don't know) and Rayman and his buddies must go free some goddess and get many of this ball like creature called 'Electoos' to take care of the problem. Frankly telling, there is nothing to the story and it is forgivable as it is a 'casual-look-like' game.
GRAPHICS: The graphics looks stunning as far as I can say. The cartoonic graphics which the developers had put in is really in tune with what the game represent in a splendid way. The game is not a serious game so the character are not in a 'real world' ideal shape & size body and how the character show off their moves represent it. The texture and the lightning are perfect. Conclusion: Rayman Origin is a gorgeous game. (10/10)
GAMEPLAY: As far as this game is concerned, the developers had put in their heart and sweat in it which is shown in the level design. Every level challenge you in a meaningful way, not meaningless like some game I have seen. When you enter an area, the game put u in a place which you think is a peaceful place and then suddenly you are wrong. This game temper with human psychology which is very impressive on its part.
This game has that one thing which make a game successful, Variety. The environment are diversed from underwater to desert to forest and the each type of environment will challenge you differently. With respect to the environment also, the core gameplay also is different at different time. Sometime you will be flying and shooting like an old school 2D flying shooter and next time you will be diving underwater but most of the time, you are on the ground jumping from platform to platform and hope the next platform doesn't hit you on the face. Sometimes the level put you in a fast pace that you feel like you are playing 'Sonic the hedge' Game.
There are also many hidden treasure which you should keep your eyes and hope you doesn't let it go cause in the future, you will need the treasure. You can change the character you are playing but they do more or the same thing (attack, jump, etc). The enemies are very easy to kill but the number of them swamping at you can be a problem. (10/10)
SOUND: You will feel good hearing the sound and music in this game as it got that cute 'feel good' music. Just like I said, the sound also feels like the sound from our childhood cartoon memories. Even 'Tabla' Indian Music are present and you will enjoy every bit of them. For what the game represent, the sound department had done an excellent job.(10/10)
OTHER: The annoying thing about this game is that the game require to get all the little cute wasp which in many case, you don't have a choice but to leave them but the game won't progress at the ending part cause you didn't collect enough of them. How much you tried to get them all, you never will be able to even if you played the same level over and over again. The console version have a co-op feature which is missing in the pc version.
VALUE FOR MONEY: This is worth your money cause there are lots and lots of content and took around 72 hours to complete. For as many as 'Electoos' you collect, you will unlock a new skin of your character. And the mission are so many that I have to stop collecting the wasp to write this review fast. (9/10)
OVERALL: At first, the gameplay will make you think this is a casual game but as you play, it will be more hardcore than you think. With all round excellent from every point, this game deserve your hard earned money.
SCORE:9.5/10
