If you were one of the folks who bought a PlayStation when it was first released, one of the best games you likely had available to you was the platformer Rayman. With its beautifully drawn backgrounds and multiple layers of action, Rayman seemed leaps and bounds beyond anything that had been done on previous consoles.
Rayman: Origins, while set early in the series' continuity, is leaps and bounds beyond even the excellence of the original Rayman game. Everything this game does, from its vibrant, hand-drawn graphics, to its great sense of humor and its inside jokes about video games, to its compelling, hummable soundtrack, exudes a sense that this was a labor of love for the designers. Gameplay, too, manages to be everything you'd expect from a modern platformer, only couched in the comfortable, old-school feel of a simple, 2D side-scroller. Controls are crisp, and the game intersperses plenty of thinking-cap puzzles in with the reflex action, so all kinds of players will find something to enjoy here.
