Throughout the game, you will travel to widely varied mix of worlds and levels that can best be described as eclectic. Now these guys are under the control of a wicked old lady who got fed up with the incessant snoring of Rayman and co.
The basic plot involves Rayman and his cohort of crazy sidekicks travelling to various worlds, rescuing Electoons and ‘bodacious Nymphs’, who have been captured by the evil Darktoons. Origins is a simplistic game in terms of story and control design, but on every other level it excels in such a way that the final product is incredibly satisfying. Rayman Origins takes Rayman back to his 2D roots, with Ubisoft opting for a traditional 2D platformer rather than a 3D platformer, which is the status quo these days. Fortunately, Rayman Origins fits into the former category and is a game of great beauty clearly made as an expression of art and skill, rather than as a profitable product. Sadly, the other hand consists of a whole heap of shovelware designed and developed purely as an exercise in making money. On one hand you have gems such as Rayman (specifically the N64 and recently 3DS versions), Red Steel 2, Beyond Good and Evil, and the Assassins Creed series. That said, as their stocks have risen, they have also produced a lot of garbage, that sadly reflects poorly on their usual lofty standards.
Ubisoft have long been a well received 3 rd party developer, who generally produce games of a high standard that are a blast to play.
