Board 8 > So how exactly is Rayman Origins better than Legends?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just finished the 'Eye of the Tiger' level in Legends and I'm dying here. Lol.

Game is better designed and more fun than Origins. Not to say Origins is bad or anything. It was a good game but it didn't wow me which turned me off from playing Legends till now.

Legends is wowing me though. So what exactly is it about Origins that people think is better other than originality?

Also Origins' levels are literally in Legends so that automatically makes it better.

I didn't realize people liked origins more but I definitely preferred legends also

Also the mosquito levels in Origins were ass. So I'm glad I'm not seeing them here. And Legends has actual boss fights.

I'm just done with World 3 by the way.

It's significantly harder. You can just kind of fumble your way through Legends and meet the score goals, and while Legends still has hard time trials, they aren't the same as getting through full levels with a strict time limit.

I think I saw a best Rayman game poll here or somewhere else and Origins was literally destroying everything else (Legends included).

I played Origins. I liked it but didn't love it. So I thought if Legends is a little bit worse or about the same, then no need to bother.

How wrong I was.

What? Origins was not hard at all (I beat all the levels including the treasure chest levels and the secret one), not that Legends is hard so far as well

As far as I remember the difficulty level is about the same. The no-lives, infinite checkpoint respawn makes both games very fair in their difficulty. Both games would be hard without the checkpoint system but since the system is in place, neither qualifies as hard.

Just the score and time trials. The score is harder due to missable points from purple and king lums, and the time trials are full levels. I almost never had to replay a level in Legends.

I own the Vita and PS3 versions of Legends and Origins. And I gotta say, that forced touchscreen shenanigans in Legends for the Vita sucks ass.
