I'm not technically fully done with this but considering this plays much like Origins and I'm pretty much at a point where I can collect my thoughts on it (and I just play this for short bursts when I feel like it since I've got a lot of other stuff I'm trying to fit in too) I'll just make a review now. I loved Origins back when it released. It was my introduction to Rayman, and I adored the wacky vibe of the world and characters, the amazing music, the beautiful hand drawn artstyle. Everything about it just hit perfectly. Legends delivers on that exactly as I remember Origins doing. The levels all have a distinct feel to them and each have interesting mechanics to play around with. None of them are too long or annoying, and using Murphy to move and interact with objects is a cool way to add that extra little bit of interactivity that you need to focus on besides your character. The only gripe I have is that I wish the different characters had more distinctive movesets. I might just be missing that some have slightly better abilities in terms of movement speed and such. But I would've liked if Globox for example had a move specific to him, or Barbara had something specific to her. But even then it's not a huge deal. Truthfully I don't really know what much to say because this is just a really good platformer. If I think of anything else to add I'll update this review. But really if you're like me and somehow haven't played this 10 years after the fact you really should. I have no idea why it took me so long to play Legends after loving Origins at the time. This took me back to the memories I had of playing it and loving the amazing visuals and unique music. Oh and speaking of music those music levels were great. Wish there was more of those because I do love me a good rhythm based platformer.
