Unfortunately the end result leaves something to be desired no matter which console you play it on. When dealing with Murphy, you can see how Rayman Legends was originally designed as a Wii U game. These stages are found at the end of every world, and are worth the price of admission alone.Īlthough a clever idea, Murphy isn’t implemented as well as he could be, no matter what your input device is.

Some of my favorite stages are more like a mix of platformer and Guitar Hero, where the on-screen action is synced up with amusing covers of songs like “Black Betty” and “Eye of the Tiger”. While a couple songs started to grate on me near the end, Rayman Legends uses sound in ways ranging from “smart” to “mind-blowing”. Vivid colors, impressive lighting effects and some of the best background art in recent memory can all be checked off the list, and the excellent character and level designs give the game a very unique identity. If this is what we can expect out of the UbiArt framework, then we are in for a real treat. Right off the bat it is impossible not to notice how beautiful this game is. The end result is an entertaining romp that will give returning fans deja vu, although the occasional twist and rock-solid gameplay makes it all worth it. Rayman Legends offers a fun package that does a number of things very right, but does little to innovate on the formula Origins created two years ago. After finally getting my hands on it, I remembered why I liked the original so much. Rayman and Barbara being chased by a Luchador in the third area.I’ll start this off with a disclaimer: Rayman Origins charmed the pants off of me, and I have been excited about the sequel for a while now. The three Teensies that are tied up to dynamite are found in the place where the first cage is located in the normal level, i.e. One notable change due to the specifities of the invasion mode is the presence of lightnings and a cloudy sky in the background. When Rayman and his friends arrive back in the forest, a green Luchador begins chasing them until he is obstructed by the Snoring Tree. The character(s) exit the castle they entered in the normal level, and must head to a champibumper which will lead them to the foreground of the area. The third and final section is the first section of the normal level reversed. The second section is the area where the king of the normal level is located, but the twisted maze is replaced by a half-eaten watermelon. Besides this, the sliders are replaced by butter plat-forms, cucumbers and bouncy brains. The first section of the level is the third area of the normal level reversed. The level is divided into three sections. It is unlocked once the players gets far enough in Fiesta de los Muertos. The invaded version of the level is invaded by enemies and obstacles (such as skulls with bouncy brains, knives, and a half eaten watermelon) from Fiesta de los Muertos, most notably Mariachis. This level was included in the demo released on Augon PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Once the team gets past the tentacle claw, a champibumper catapults them onto the outskirts of a huge castle, which they enter and after defeating a Francky. At this point, Murfy is called over again - this time, he has to help the heroes get past this.

Later on, the team will come across an one-eyed tentacle claw creature. The first secret area is found beneath the first grassy platform. When the level is revisited, this cutscene will no longer play, and the player starts on the ground at the bottom of the tree instead. Once they wake up, Murfy tells them about the enemy invasion that has happened while they were asleep. The Bubble Dreamer calls for Murfy to wake them up, causing them to fall off the branch and onto the ground. When a new game is created, it begins directly in this level, in which Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are seen sleeping on a branch in the Snoring Tree.
