    Rayman Origins - Nintendo Wii

    • This game got overlooked for some reason and didn't get as much attention as New Super Mario Bros.
    • This is the best game I ever played (alongside Super Mario World), and if I, a die-hard gamer, would praise it THIS much, you have no choice but to buy this game anyway
    • Although Mario is my all time favorite, this Rayman game perhaps is superior in graphics and play.
    • Super Mario World was the first 2D platform game that I truly fell in love with (graphics, play control, style and story), and I still play it often to this day
    • I haven't had this much fun with a co-op platformer since Donkey Kong Country Returns or Super Mario Wii
    • When a player falls behind or looses a life he can catch up in a bubble to the first player, this too reminds me of super mario bros and is a great feature for smaller or less advanced players
    • This game is as good as the latest Mario entries, with maybe more replay ability... anything less than 50 for this is a great deal... buy it.
    • New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Kirby's Return to Dream Land, but I just didn't enjoy this game
    • If you like Super Mario, you will love this one as well.
    • 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.
    • This is a very creative game with different themes in different lands reminds me a bit of how super mario bros also had themed lands
    • I didn't have a true appreciation for the genre until Nintendo rolled out Super Mario Bros. for the NES, and then saw greater potential in Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, Castlevania, etc
    • Unlike some side-scrolling platforms in recent years, such as New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Donkey Kong Country Returns, etc
    • Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Return to Dreamland (and Epic Yarn), New Super Mario Bros Wii, and others like A Boy and His Blob and LostWinds are among the best 2D platformers of the past few generations
    • Hey, any game that can make you turn your head and yell to your co-op buddies, "hey, you guys go on ahead and solve the puzzle, I will stand here on this side and save you if you mess up" deserves an "A" in my book
    • The hand drawn art style brings back memories of the artwork that would accompany reviews on games from classic Nintendo Power articles and the 4 player co-op is less annoying as in the other above mentioned games.
    • Overall, this is as close to flawless as it gets
    • The graphics are beautiful, with a cartoonish style, and the music is some of the best and most different I've ever heard.
