MOST OVERLOOKED/UNAPPRECIATED GAME OF THE YEAR 2011
Rayman Origins is one of those perfect storms. It's an entry in a series that has always failed to have the platforming mass-appeal of a Sonic the Hedgehog or a Mario.
Rayman is a bit of a chronic under-achiever. Even some of the secondary characters in his own games (The Rabbids) have had bigger selling games than him.
Rayman Origins, sadly, seems to be more of the same for Rayman. The game is beautifully crafted with stunning hand-drawn characters and animations and it has plenty of challenging platforming mechanics. But once again, Rayman fails to crack the glass ceiling and run with the big boys. (Maybe the fact that he doesn't actually have any arms or legs has something to do with that.) *shrug*
Thankfully we recognized the quality and love that went into making this game and we're proud to give in an OTTO in 2011.
