Rayman Legends gives artificial intelligence to the beloved hero in single player
That’s a bit of a wordy and confusing title, isn’t it? Instead of fixing it, maybe reading the quote below with shed some light the situation…
“That’s a question we get asked a lot. How do you play the game alone and can you play it with the GamePad? The answer is yes, you can. You play controlling Murphy with the GamePad and on the screen on the TV and also on the screen of the Wii U GamePad you’ll have an automatic Rayman controlled by an AI. You have to open the paths for him, you have to kill enemies for him to make sure he can survive. You are the protector of Rayman.” – Emile Morel, lead game designer on Rayman Legends
Hmm… So a lot of the game will have you not platforming, but protecting an AI platformer? Not sure how I feel about that! Though I should really read/watch more about the mode before passing judgement. Morel continued:
“Not the whole game is like this – you have specific levels for Murphy and the GamePad and more classic levels when you are playing as Rayman from beginning to the end. Half of the game, maybe not half but a good portion of the game, you’ll have to play as Murphy.”
