I got this as a Christmas gift and he loves it!!  The Rayman games are a ton of fun.  For the money, you get a lot of gameplay with Rayman games.

If you've ever played a Rayman game before, and liked it, you'd love this game as well.  If you haven't played Rayman, but like platformers with a challenge, give this one a try and you'll love it.

This is a pretty great game for all ages. From my six year old nephew to my father in law, we all had fun playing it and it goes relatively quick too. The price is well worth the fun! We want to get the expansion pack too now !

This is the most fun game on Vita yet!  I love action adventure games, RPG's, FPS's, you name it.  This game seems to be the largest most involved, and most fun game out on Vita yet.  Most of the others that I have and have played really seem to be lacking, as if the developer figured since it was for a handheld they didn't need to try or to make a full game.  Ys: Memories of Celceta (don't ask me to type that again please) has intuitive controls, easy fluid game motion, and pretty nice visuals.  They really didn't overdo the graphics like in Killzone Mercenaries, but they completely made up for it in really fun gameplay.  The game map is huge, the battles are incredibly fun, and I find all my other hobbies just kind of waiting for me to get tired of this game.  Good luck exercise!  I got this game last week and I've been playing it pretty steadily for many hours each day.  Don't judge me!  Oh and I meant to mention the music in the game gets me pumped.  Dueling guitars with J-pop beats are a classic awesome JRPG must and they didn't disappoint.  For any PS Vita owner who is wondering when the actual fun games are gonna get here, here is one of the ones you're looking for.

Oh and the extras may not be a necessity to anyone other than a fan, but they are fun.  The three CD music set is nice because the music from the Ys games is awesome.  The hanging wall map is a welcome addition to anybody's nerd cave, and the compass is........well the cd's and the wall map are sweet.

Final thoughts, if you own a vita and you want a full experience out of it, either buy this version or the standard version of Ys: Memories of Celceta.  I won't say this about many vita games as most of them are dumbed down, but this game is well made and really fun.

I don't have a PS or XBOX, so this is my first real game system since the 80's.  I think this game rocks.  The graphics are great and the gameplay is really fun.  I may not be a gamer, but I am a car guy, and this game is keeping me interested much longer than I though it would.  They really put some thought into it- things like the police chatter you hear on your scanner, the slow-mo replays they insert into the game automatically when you do something cool (like catching air going over a hill), being able to go wherever you want in career mode...  it's just great.  I just got the Wii wheel, and I like it much better than the controller alone.  Seems easier to control.  I highly recommend the game and the wheel. Sweet!

This fun and exciting game features five slimy, yet satisfying, mini-games of speed, skill, and indigestion! Slingshooter is kind of like a jungle shooting gallery. It allows you to shot berries at targets to gain points and charge on to the next level of play! Ahrrgh! SPLAT! That's life in the jungle. Next, we have my personal favorite, Hippo Hop! It's kinda like "Frogger", but with a twist! Your job is to help Timon cross the river using moving platforms without falling into the water. There is a catch though; you'll also need to grab special goodies that Pumbaa requests for his annual barbecue. You can also grab bugs for points and eggs to allow you to come back to the start automatically! The yellow egg is special as it gives you an extra life! Watch out for obstacles. Is it a river of carnivores or a river of hyena slobber? Your challenge is to NOT find out. There is also Bug Drop! It is very similar to "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" and "Kirby's Avalanche". You drop bugs and match their colors in groups of four while nailing combos to mess up your opponent. Be careful not to run out of room! Red bugs go with red bugs. Blue bugs go with blue bugs. Stink bugs go with anything. They all go with ketchup. Then, there's Burper. Your odoriferous task? Burp bugs into oblivion. Play as Pumbaa and burp bugs and other obstacles out of the way to gain more points. For any bug you miss, you have another chance to smack it with Pumbaa's tail. Watch out for bunches of bananas, jungle-like kitchen sinks, and poisonous spiders! You can burp those too, but make sure you're not hit by them! Last but not least, one of my slightly obscure childhood memories, Jungle Pinball; a classic arcade favorite combined with Timon and Pumbaa's unique brand of "Hakuna-Matata magic". It's really simple; hit obstacles without losing your ball. Before you first start playing each of these mini-games, Timon and Pumbaa will teach you how to play first, along with showing you the controls. The best part is that ALL of the mini-games have a two-player mode, so that you and your friend can play the same game at once! There are also a bunch of extras:
Multiple game levels challenge players of all ages!
Hundreds of wacky sound effects!
Thousands of original animation cels!
Countless extra bonus rounds!
Wisecracks and commentary from the masters of droll and drool themselves, Timon and Pumbaa.
A secret memo from Timon and Pumbaa that can be found while pressing F11 while playing a mini-game.
While on the game's hub section, you can also click around to find special surprises!
When you quit the game, Timon and Pumbaa and their friends throw you a party as a reward for having fun and playing games with them. The party varies based on your gameplay; the better you play, the bigger the party!
I love this game! I play it almost everyday and I never get tired of it! I love it! I just LOVE IT!!!!!

I am very late to this party.  I have wanted to purchase Rayman Origins for quite a while but I've never pulled the trigger.  Well, lately I've been jonesin' for a new Vita game and saw this title was on the cheap for pretty much every platform it has been released on.

Why not?

Well, I got it in from Amazon and found that this game is quite wonderful.  The platforming is pretty standard fare with some punches and kicks for good measure.  However, the level design and visual aesthetic and general tone of the game is where this game really shines.

The 2D graphics are sharp, crisp, and lush!  Levels are slick and whimsical.  The game is quite funny to boot.

Negatives for the Vita only lay in the fact that this seems to be an exact replica of the home console version.  This is a bittersweet issue - this seems to be an exact port but because of that the sprites are very small of the handheld's screen.  The game compensates for this by allowing zooming with a pinch action on the Vita screen.  This, however, reduces visibility of what is going around Rayman.

Despite this, the game is perfectly playable.  The sprites are just a little small.

Anyway, the game is highly recommended and I'm looking forward to the sequel on the Wii U which I will be buying at release!

To me, this game is an ultimate success! I'm a long-time Mario fan, and I have no complaints to this game whatsoever! I didn't get ALL of the stars, but I beat the game once, and it was just so fun that I had to make a new file and play over again! Only a few of the galaxies are frustrating, so if you have complaints about those, maybe you need an easier game or an introduction to Super Mario Galaxy. There are PLENTY of different galaxies, so don't ever worry about getting bored. There are also the comets and the additional stars and even a few missions where you have to find and rescue your little bro, Luigi. The creativity beats that put into many of the games I've played. A lot of the galaxies have different themes and all of them have different structures. The graphics are also good, you can always see the Thwomps' and Whomps' shadows. The controls are great, and if your having any trouble with those, somebody in the game will help you whether it be a friendly robot that looks familiarly like one made by Pixar or a penguin or a luma or Rosalina or even a bee if you're surrounded by honey. I've had no problems with it and I would play it over again and again.

I just love this game! It is very fun to play. The controls took a little bit to get used to because I've never played a racing game with a d-pad before. A saw a review of this game on Classic Game Room and thought I pick it up for my Sega 32X. This is the first Sega 32X game I ever played and it is awesome! If you don't own this game but have a Sega 32X, you need to get it.

AMAZING! Some games are fun, and others are even more fun, then, there's this! This is a GREAT game in ALL sense of speaking and would recommend it to anyone who likes action games with a brain. This game looks gorgeous, sounds incredible, and the gameplay tops it all of with an amazing exclusive to the Ps3 system!

Not much more to add after reading the first reviewers comments....other than playing this with my 2 grand-daughters is SO much fun, they BOTH love the game, ages 11 & 17!!  I'm a huge fan of 2-D platformers, all the "old-time/retro" games, Super Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and so on, which I have all of for my NES/SuperNES, PS2, NDS & Wii.  I just picked Rayman Origins up a week ago at our local Game store and tryed it out myself and loved it, when my girls came over to stay tonight and saw I had it, they couldn't wait to put it in and try it out themselves!  Needless to say, Mema is gonna have fun trying to get these 2 in bed tonight for school tomorrow!! lol  If that's not enuff to convince you to get this game, then you're probably not into these kind of games!

This game is so much fun. My 10-year-old son loves playing it... and that is quite an accomplishment since he is so into video games! I also like it as a 36-year-old dad.

Last week ago, I bought 3 Atari Lynx games and Crystal Mines 2 was one of them. Let me tell you, this game is loads of fun!
I would describe it as an action/puzzle game. The Lynx doesn't have a whole of games, but Crystal Mines 2 is one gem of a game.
It's very easy to pick up and play, but hard to put down! Fun for all ages! If you have an Atari lynx, pick this game up today!

Wow! This game is so fun! I've just taken a break from playing it(I'm still only about halfway through!) to express my feelings.
This is my first Indy game, so I really didn't know what to expect.  I do remember hating tomb raider so I figured The Infernal Machine couldn't be that bad.
Like I said, I'm still in the middle of playing, but I've managed to piece together a list of pros and cons I've encountered so far:
Pros- 1) Good original storyline.
  2) The whip. 'Nuff said.
  3) Your ability to find hidden treasures on the levels.
  4) Indy's voice.  Not quite the same, but almost.
  5) The level cinematics are awesome!
  6) Hair-raising trap after hair-raising trap.
Cons- 1) Lots of confusing puzzles that can take hours to solve.
  2) Somewhat annoying aiming system for your guns,
  though you kinda get used to it.
  As you can see, I heavily favour the pros of this game.  Indiana Jones and The Infernal Machine is a definate buy for Indy fans and anyone who craves action and seeks adventure.

This game is great! The only thing that gave me a bit of a problem was the defaults the game starts out with. You use both the mouse and the KB to play or a gamepad. Since the mouse is used to control you minions, the KB controls your character and certain other things you can do. It is set up for a right-handed mouse user. I'm a bit strange in this respect as I'm right-handed but use my left hand to control the mouse and my right hand to control my character's movement and actions. So having the A,S,W,D keys for moving my character around just doesn't work for me. I had to reset the arrow keys for movement and move the other action and target lock keys over close to the arrow keys. I left the space bar as is for action. This works out really well. I found that on my system, I had to adjust the default screen settings and sound settings as well. Since I don't have one of the more current graphic cards I had to change the resolution to get the game to run a bit better. It seems that 1024x768 is the default and that's what I use on my desktop but on this game it runs a bit slow so I noted that the game has a number of different settings that go all the way down to 640x480 which I decided on as it gave me the best blend of speed and it alllowed me to up the details a bit. I am very happy about the way the game was built with a way to adjust these settings and allow for a better game play experince. This was well thought out. Game play itself is a lot of fun and I found myself laughing out loud a number of times. A great game and just a lot of fun!!!

This game is by far one of the best games for the Wii console when it comes to graphics as well as the over all game play! Very entertaining, for the entire family. I mean c'mon, who doesn't like Indiana Jones!!!

This game is seriously so fun! It's not hard to grasp or start off (which is really nice for a new game!) and gets very fun, very quickly. Had to buy it for my family once I played it, and they're hooked!

This year Ubi Soft outdid themselves.
I must say I didn't expect yet another Rayman production to be anything above fair but they really came on top this time.
The graphics are smooth and the music is great.
The characters are fun and you can play it for the fun or do the challenges that are very difficult.
The only bad thing I can say about this game is that its not as fun to play alone as it with 2-4 players.
Much like little big planet.
for kids 5 and up that can handle the ps3 controller this is a dream for a dad and son game.
a must buy....
