[PS3, X360, Wii] Review Roundup - Rayman Origins
VideoGamer - 8/10 - "Rayman Origins has an awful lot to give: it's a passionate tribute to the days when platform games ruled the Earth, but beyond that, it's also one of the best examples of the genre we've had in recent memory."

1UP - A- - "I'm sure someone out there will complain that Origins is overpriced, since it's a $60 retail title at launch compared to the $10-20 downloadable games that 2D platformers usually come in these days, but it's easy to see higher production values here. We don't get many big ambitious 2D platformers these days, and above all else, I'm happy to see Ubisoft didn't waste the opportunity."

GameTrailers - 8.5/10 - "With platformers enjoying a big resurgence in the last few years, it makes sense that Rayman: Origins has an anachronistic feel. Challenging levels, mosquito breaks, amusing multiplayer, and a hard-as-nails reward for perfectionists assures its place in the platformer pantheon. It just lacks a little of the sparkle that could've helped battle the fatigue of coaxing out every last lum."

Game Informer - 8.5/10 - "If you only know about Rayman from his affiliation with the now-ubiquitous Rabbids, that probably wasn’t the best introduction. Rayman Origins is the proper way to catch up with the character, who finally has a game that puts him squarely in the majors."

IGN - 9.5/10 - "In a blockbuster holiday season of M-rated war games, it’s refreshing to see something so different and special as Rayman Origins. It’s downright gorgeous and a total blast to play alone or with friends. A truly realized vision at the top of its genre, Rayman Origins is an extravaganza with plenty of action to keep it fresh from start to finish and beyond."
