Upon having
played the Rayman Legends game demo at the Wii U experience in LA, I was
impressed with the fluidity of the gameplay. The demo level itself was fast
pace enough to keep a player on their toes. Though at the same time, it was
well tested in the responsiveness and timing departments, and thus not made too
fast either. The speed of the forward-scrolling camera was definitely what
stood out to me the most; slightly faster than the typical modern platformer
and challenging enough to miss and fall a couple times, but certainly not
unbeatable. I suppose I took great note of this aspect because of the simple
observation that 'challenge' seems to come in short supply these days.
Like much
of the Wii U's demo library, Rayman Legends has a multi-player co-op mode. When
playing with a friend, one player uses the Wii U Game Pad's touch screen to
activate check points, while the other player does the heavy lifting by
navigating the actual level using the Wii U Classic Controller. Though both activities are not necessarily equally
engaging, it focuses on the element of keeping up with each others' pace. A
concept that does work, but again, could stand to be a little more engaging for
player two. In the games defense, this equation is definitely more fresh than
the traditional two-player co-op platforming layout.

Portions of
the level include foreground to background movement, which adds sort of a
cinematic value in the way that it flows with everything else. Hazards
throughout the level consist primarily of spikes, falls and the moving camera. Performing
various length jumps by holding down the jump button for different lengths of
time while running to the right is a necessary aspect to master in getting
through the demo. As for breaking
through obstacles, Rayman kicks both in the air and while grounded. One could
say that perfecting the timing between the jump and kick button presses
practically creates a prominent gameplay mechanic in and of itself, giving the game a rhythm aspect and also making
it stand out from the traditional platformer.
I have
nothing bad to report about the game's audio. It works very well stylistically
with the visuals as well as the game's rhythm-based attributes. All 2D art assets are well painted, impressive, and create a
stylized atmosphere that I found easy to appreciate, especially with the level
design's fantastical, ancient ruin-esque theme. The controls are certainly not
over complicated, making for an impressively simple and challenging platformer,
which is key for the genre. The demo's fun factor was a big plus. I can
honestly say that I'm looking forward to picking up my copy and playing it
again. Upon finishing the demo level, I only found myself wanting to experience
more of the game.
It was very interesting to read about your experiences and new emotions. Your article is just super.

On occasion the provider hires you freelance, or occasionally it is a site designer which orders the copy google At an identical time, if you decide on the most suitable company having excellent reviews and reputation, you will enjoy well composed works. http://google.com/
ReplyDeleteOh, Rayman is a legendary game. I’m not a big fun of it but, I get why so much people love it. Last platformers that we played with my girlfriend were Gauntlet (second one) and Vikings. Great games if you ask, Gauntlet is a little bit hardcore than Vikings but still providing a great pleasure to play in it. If we are talking about graphics – Trine is an obvious choice. If we was talking about papers, obvious choice would be PapersHelm.com.
ReplyDeleteThe use of demo versions is very good because it makes it possible to understand how interesting to you or not.
