Not all of Rayman Legend’s levels are a frantic rush through the stage but many of them do have portions where you’ll be having to run and jump with a fair degree of precision. That particular system of revival doesn’t always work out well. Fortunately, these characters become floating balloon versions of themselves and the controlling player can guide his or her character to another player who simply has to punch the balloon to revive his fallen comrade. All players share the same screen, however, the screen can progress past lagging players leading to some unintentional deaths. Rayman Legends supports up to four players locally with each player being able to select from the many colorful variations of Rayman, friend Globox, Teensies, and the Princesses (ladies in viking helmets wielding battle axes) that are tied to the worlds themselves. All for the low, low price of just $40 and most of which are cooperative, with the exception of the challenges which are limited to just single player. If Ubisoft put out a $15 downloadable title with 6 or 7 full-length levels done in this style, with additional DLC tracks down the line, there’d be a whole new “musical game” boom.Īside from the main campaign, there's a bonus world with challenge versions of the game's music levels, daily and weekly challenges, and 40 remastered levels from Rayman Origins. The only complaint about these levels? They’re too short.
While these levels are carefully scripted to hit certain beats and moments just so, they are done in such a way that you don’t feel it.Īll you feel is the joy of running through a level as “Black Betty,” or Antisocial’s “Trust,” or an original work by one of the game’s musical composers, Christophe Heral, plays alongside you. The most famous example is the “Eye of the Tiger” level that was shown off in a trailer for the game.
As you run and jump through these levels, you are given a soundtrack that plays in sync with your actions. These levels are more along the lines of the “constantly running, jumping, and timing your jumps right” challenge sort, but they have their own twist. Each of the main five world ends with a boss fight and then a music level. Without a doubt, the best levels overall are the music levels.
