Publisher SCE Format PlayStation Release 1998 So those first two years of our existence, building Disruptor, I probably learned more than I had learned in the previous ten years doing anything else.” Spyro the Dragon And she really helped us get off the ground with the visuals for Disruptor.

She’s just a real character, but she’s also incredibly skilled at working with other artists and helping shape the vision for a movie or a game. I remember meeting Catherine: she walked in and she had this hat on with a bird on it. He and his colleagues brought in a really talented production designer named Catherine Hardwicke, who was famous for Tank Girl at the time, and has gone on to do a lot of big films since. And we got a lot of help from a guy named Mark Cerny, who stepped in and said, ‘Look, guys, if you want to make a firstperson shooter, this is how it should work.’ He helped me figure out a better way to plan, and on a design side he helped all of us figure out a better way to lay out levels and think about enemy placement and weapon strategies. Whether you are a young gamer trying to get into your first platformer, or a seasoned vet looking for a challenge, Rayman Legends shouldn’t be passed up.So we went back to the drawing board and rethought how we were making games, rethought how we were putting together our levels, rethought how we were approaching design. I was saddened by the anti-climactic final boss fight, but the journey to get there is filled with inventive gameplay, beautiful graphics and pitch-perfect controls. Two players on the Wii U is probably the best method, but they are all uneven in their execution.ĭon’t let this minor gripe dissaude you from one of this generations best platformers, Mario games included.

The PS3 and 360 versions aren’t much better, as Murphy is controlled via a button press.

It is common for him to miss collectibles, health and even jumps. It’s even worse if you are playing by yourself, as you are forced to control Murphy while an AI bumbles along as Rayman. When two players are doing this, it can be a lot of fun, even if some sections become overly difficult, requiring fast and precise control of Murphy.

On Wii U, another player can take control of Murphy at certain points to cut ropes, raise platforms, pull levers and otherwise help you along the levels. 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. 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.
