It's hard to imagine how 2D platforming can get much prettier this generation. Rayman Origins is a surprisingly good title that offers insane action for all age groups...
Clever level design. Amazing visual standard. Accurate controls. Audio really adds to the action at appropriate times. Sensible checkpoint locations and no over-the-top punishment for dying.

It's rare for any game to get me smiling on the title screen alone. Sonic Generations perhaps, but that was entirely based on nostalgia. Rayman Origins on the other hand had me grinning when just pressing Start was accompanied by cute voices going “cha ch...
Rayman Origins is the best 2D platformer this year, one of my favourite ever made (it's up there with Yoshi's Island), and the one game out in November everyone should play. I don't care if you've got other games to play – this one will make you feel good...
