Rayman Legends gets first review

Posted on August 22, 2013 by (@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U

The first review of Rayman Legends is in. ONM provided a verdict in its latest issue, and thought quite highly of the new Wii U game.

Rayman Legends was awarded a 92% score. ONM had high praise for the multiplayer features, stating how it’s “more welcoming that New Super Mario Bros U’s, mainly thanks to heroes being able to pass through each other and the absence of a life counter”. That being said, multiplayer can sometimes negatively impact single-player – mainly the Murphy stages.

Legends’ difficulty system was also praised. While ONM felt it was overall easier than Rayman Origins in terms of “core” stages – which last around seven hours – the optional and “invaded” levels can be very tough to complete.

Also worth mentioning, Rayman Legends apparently uses the Wii U controller quite well. The publication stated, “this is what the GamePad is for”.

Players can look forward to a great deal of replay value. As many of you know, 40 stages from Origins are returning. ONM also says the game possesses a very competitive edge attempted to best your own high scores.

In summary:

+ A turnaround of ideas to rival Mario Galaxy
+ Asymmetric Multiplayer finally done rights
– Not quite as good for the lone wolves
