Review Rayman Origins (PlayStation Vita)
A portable platforming masterpiece
When the original Rayman was released in 1995, it was lauded for its lush and vibrant visuals, and it didn't hurt that the game featured some incredible level designs either. But after jumping aboard the 3D platformer bandwagon for the better part of a decade, the series recently took a trip back to its 2D roots...
About The Game
Play Rayman Origins and discover or rediscover the magical universe and legendary 2D gameplay that captured the hearts of millions of fans!
When the Glade of Dreams is overrun by "nefurrious" Darktoons, the Fairy Council hastily invokes Rayman to save the day; but the hero of light isn't quite all there...To help him, Rayman teams up with his best friend, Globox, and two crafty wizards, the Teensies. Together, the world's most hilarious team of heroes will need to restore peace to the Glade or watch as their beloved home vanishes like a bad dream...

I saw this game on TV and it looked okay to me i don't know it didn't really jump out at me. But the ps vita makes it look betta. or maybe its just my love for handheld devices
I want this
Do want.
This game looks awesome but it wasn't really hyped and no more rabbids
This game earned great ratings for all systems currently available and I doubt that they will be any less here on the PS Vita!
glad to see this as a launch title, I hope the 3DS version comes out soon.
If i get a Vita (and from the great launch, i may) this will be a nice little game to go with it!
Hey Vitagamr, i found a glitch on this page, if you click anything on related games it tries to find the game on this site when it should open on NintendoLife, sorry to bother
Is this just a port? Or is there anything different?
