The soundtrack is also very impressive, managing to deliver awesome songs for each of the different worlds. In terms of graphics, Rayman Legends manages to take the gorgeous visuals of its predecessor to new heights, especially during the music stages, which are not only a blast to look at but also a pleasure to the ears. The cards also award players with extra Teensies, bonus Lums, or new creatures for a special area that sees Rayman collect different animals, which in turn give out rewards every day. These are only unlocked by obtaining special scratch cards during regular levels. Other distractions include Kung Football, in which players must hit a ball and score goals in two different nets.įor those who didn't get a chance to play Origins, there's also a special section called Back to Origins, which lets players go through some of the most iconic levels from the previous title. These include the Challenges one, in which players can complete Daily Challenges that change every 24 hours, or weekly ones, that rotate every seven days. Depending on how many they have in total, new stages are unlocked.īesides the single-player story campaign, which sees Rayman and friends save Teensies across different worlds, as well as unlock new characters, plenty of other modes are available.

While certain stages are a bit hard, especially towards the end of the campaign, with a bit of patience and some fast reflexes most of them can be completed and players can collect all the available Teensies. If that bubble is hit by other players, he is respawned, thus avoiding a restart from the beginning of the level or from the latest checkpoint. As always, when there are two or more players, the death mechanic changes, as he's kept on the screen in a bubble. Leaving Murfy aside, Rayman Legends keeps a lot of the core mechanics from Origins, as Rayman and his foes use the same puzzle platforming system that allows them to jump, glide, punch, and smash their way through the level. Needless to say, in a hectic puzzle platformer like Legends, this can often spell doom, leading to the death of the player.īesides this tiny fault, the Murfy mechanic is really impressive, as he can perform a wide array of actions, from tickling enemies, to moving platforms, or eating cake, which proves to be quite important in a certain world of the game. This, however, can be easier said than done, as Murfy will sometimes linger in some locations for a bit too much before going to the next one. While on the Wii U Murfy is controlled by the player using the GamePad's touchscreen, on other platforms players need to rely on him going to certain predetermined spots and then press a button to make him perform an action.

This time around, however, they're helped by Murfy, who will float around certain levels and aid in their exploration as well as in the defeat of certain imposing foes. Rayman Legends kicks off with a terrible danger that overtakes the world of Rayman and the Teensies, thanks to different villains who summon different dangers, from medieval dragons, to giant undead luchadors, and more.Īs such, it's up to Rayman, Globox, and their different allies, to work together and stop the villains.
