Review by IGN
"Rayman Origins is special, rare and precious. Somewhere in the last few years, the classic notion of games being benign and whimsical escapist fantasies was lost in favor of battered, war torn landscapes and desolate dystopian apocalypse. Vibrant worlds turned to rot and grit, smiles turned to screams, and it seemed that by and large, gaming lost its innocence.

Is it possible for a game in this era to recapture the magic that inspired this industry to begin, while still proving itself a capable, full-fledged experience under modern scrutiny? In the case of Ubisoft's Rayman Origins, the answer is “slapsolutely.”… It’s downright gorgeous and a total blast to play alone or with friends. A truly realized vision at the top of its genre, Rayman Origins is an extravaganza with plenty of action to keep it fresh from start to finish and beyond."

IGN RATINGS FOR RAYMAN ORIGINS (WII)
9.5 Presentation
The story is bare bones, but you’re not here for that. From the quirky characters to the treasure map hub world and incredible locales, Rayman exudes style and never lets up the hilarity.
10 Graphics
Ubisoft drew up a one of a kind style and stuck to it to create one of the prettiest and downright pleasing video games ever created.
9.0 Sound
The soundtrack matches the pacing and presentation perfectly by each stage, but the inane babbling of some of the secondary characters can feel a little repetitive.
9.5 Gameplay
Excellent controls, laugh out loud co-op and a great sense of challenge and accomplishment. This is platforming at its finest.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
No online multiplayer, but get some friends together and this is one of the meatiest games in its league with tons to explore, unlock and revisit.
