However, completing them will grant you one of many warrior princesses to serve as your on-screen avatar.īut what if you're happy with only controlling Rayman? Why should you bother with trying to collect as many Lums as possible per level or work to endure that one devilish princess level that delivers a daunting obstacle course with nary a checkpoint? The answer to that lies in the Lucky Tickets. On the surface, these levels are similar to the other "sprint" levels, as they're short and only contain three Teensies.
Even more characters can be gained from beating 10 specific levels scattered throughout the first five worlds.

However, instead of granting extra lives (not necessary, since this game gives an infinite number), they're mainly used to unlock new characters in case you want to control someone other than series stalwarts Rayman and Globox. You'll not only be collecting Teensies, but also Lums, which are essentially the Rayman version of Super Mario's coins. You only need a small amount to unlock the second through fifth chapters, but it will take a whopping 400 to open the sixth. As you gain more Teensies, you'll gain access to more levels. The longer levels have 10 - two in hidden rooms and eight scattered throughout the stage while the sprints and boss levels have three apiece. Your main goal, other than completing each stage, will be to find as many Teensies as possible. Each of these chapters consists of about 10 levels ranging from sprawling levels loaded with tricks and secrets to shorter sprints where the main goal is simply surviving. While I can't say every bit of content in this game is great, there's a ton of it and most of it provided me with a good time, as I cleared one level after the next.įirst, there's the vanilla game, which consists of five main chapters (portrayed by paintings) and a sixth that will only be unlocked after you've done a lot of work. So, taking that into consideration, what makes Rayman Legends such a great release, comparable to (if not better than) the biggest names in the genre?įor starters, this game possesses an abundance of riches. To be truthful, a big part of why I currently consider Rayman to have supplanted Super Mario as my favorite modern series of platforming games is because I can play Origins and Legends without dealing with things like motion controls or 3D screens, which never seem to feel "right" to me.īut, hey, to each their own! Some people do enjoy Nintendo's modern control schemes (or at least have been "Stockholm Syndrome'd" into thinking they're neat) and likely were a bit upset to find out that, not only would they have to wait for Ubisoft to release this game, but it also wouldn't be only for them - which was reflected by subpar sales. As a guy who loved Rayman Origins, I much preferred being able to stay with my Xbox 360 to play this game, as opposed to having to obtain a new system and deal with its GamePad's touch controls. Those of us who are old-school and prefer to play our video games with standard controllers instead of the gimmicks Nintendo has been hauling out in recent years had reason to rejoice when Ubisoft decided to not make Rayman Legends a Wii U exclusive, instead delaying it for a few months in order to release it on multiple platforms. "A great game containing a lot of content from another great game.
