Veiksmīgā atgriešanās pie Rayman franšīzes divdimensiju tradīcijām – Rayman: Origins - tomēr iznāks arī personāldatoriem, ziņo Ubisoft.
Rayman: Origins, kā jau zināms lielai daļai, ir izcili noformēts un izpildīts divdimensiju platformeris no sērijas autora – Mišela Ansela. Drosmīgais projekts, cik nu man zināms, spēja apvienot dvēselei tīkamu nostalģijas vilni ar pārdomāti modernu līmeņu dizainu (mazliet plašāku informāciju iespējams iegūt šajā rakstā), tāpēc ir tikai pozitīvi, ka tas iegūs relīzi PC. Pie tam Ubisoft apstiprina, ka spēlei nebūs iepriekšējās kompānijas bojājošā DRM - kazi, beidzot lielie, naudīgie izdevēji izdarīs kaut ko pilnīgi pareizi. Rayman: Origins maksās 30 eiro un to iespējams iepriekš pasūtīt UbiShop vietnē.
I had a great time with this game, but I tend to rate my games on more than one play-through. After all, what is the point dlinog out 60 bucks on a game if it lacks the second or third time through? Overall, the game is really well made. The graphics are solid, and the gore is a nice touch. However, it takes more than some flashy graphics and flying blood to make a good game. Especially today, the game needs to EARN its sixty dollar price tag. To be honest, the game really IS well made. The controls are easy to pick up and barring a few annoying tendancies, such as being mid-combo and combo-ing yourself right off a ledge, the game allows you to hone your feral senses. It really IS like playing Wolverine. The voice acting is excellent and the puzzles are just challenging enough to give you time to pause and think. That being said, this game has almost NOTHING to offer you once you beat it. It reminds me alot of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Once you unlock the alternate costumes which amounts to a handful there is nothing else. Just more of the same. I have been down this road before. The Force Unleashed was a fun game the first time through, now sadly it collects dust. To be honest it takes more than trophies to keep me going. Either the game has to vary enough each time through that it allows you to at least pretend it is bringing more to the table, or it has to be SO much fun each time through that you don’t care that it’s the same. Unfortunately, it is a pattern of kill a group of baddies, run to the next part, kill a group of baddies, kill a new type of baddie, run to the next group, rinse and repeat. Occasionally it is broken up by some pretty spectacular boss fights such as gunships or just very BIG baddies. I hate to go against the grain on this but I do not consider this to be a 4 or 5 star owner. It is a 4 or 5 star renter. A very well-made game with plenty of action to satisfy your bloodlust, but until this game hits the twenty or thirty buck mark, I’d recommend renting it when the need for violence takes you because on that ground, you’ll find few better than this.
