THE AMAZING MAZE RAYMAN SERIES
series by simply offering simultaneous play with four (or more if one counts Murfy) characters. Instead of borrowing from the conventions of the action-adventure genres where players accumulate powers, Legends focuses purely on the collect-a-thon, and the biggest improvement from Origins to Legends in this aspect is that the game no longer merely pretends to copy the New Super Mario Bros. Every skill that players will use throughout are unlocked from the beginning. Gone are the silly per-abilities missions. Miraculously, all of my criticisms of that game have been remedied in Legends. I recently published a Backloggery Beatdown on Rayman Origins. Even Rayman’s crew looks happier on the Wii U. Gameplay HD enhances the ominousness of those flames. Murfy goes to awaken Rayman and friends so that they can defeat the invading nightmares. The long-beared creature called the Bubble Dreamer has been having nightmares that have gained strength over the time that Rayman and his friends have been seeping in stasis in the Glade of Dreams. Story Platform game? Insert obligatory sidekick(s).īeing a platform game, the story in Rayman Legends is little more than perfunctory.

My kids giggled and whispered when they saw it for the first time.

“Did you know that their underwear shows when that happens?” my wife has asked. When they die, they inflate like balloons, similar to all the other characters when they die, but because they are wearing skirts, their underwear becomes noticeable. There are a few palette-swapped versions of Barbara that wear skirts.
