    Rayman Legends is the most fun I’ve had platforming in a very long time. The game’s impossible to put down gameplay really does give the Big N and their Mario goodness a quality ‘run for its money’.

    Rayman Legends outperforms its predecessor not only quantitative but also in qualitative terms.

    Rayman Legends is a masterpiece on every platform, and the PS Vita version is no exception. Nevertheless the game suffer from minor bugs such as a worst graphical definition and the lack, for now, of some levels. This is also the only other version featuring touch controls which makes this, in terms of gameplay, the closest experience to the WiiU version.

    Rayman Legends arrives on PS Vita with a little delay and without invasion's levels. Fortunately, these levels will be added soon, for free. Despite loading times a bit longer than on other platforms (but very acceptable), Rayman Legends offers a touch gameplay perfectly suited to the console. It will be appreciated by the opportunity to play with a friend with asymmetric gameplay, one using the touchscreen, the other the traditional controls. Probably the best platformer on PS Vita.

    If you think highly of Rayman Origins, Legends is an essential purchase.

    Rayman Legends on PSVita is a solid conversion, marginally plagued by some minor problems. But still: if you're looking for an enjoyable platforming experience on the go, look no further.

    Legends is still a wonderful game, and the tight controls work incredibly well on the Vita – I am particularly fond of the sticks. With the challenge mode present and a good amount of content to get through (including the Back to Origins levels), this is still an excellent game, if ever so slightly inferior to the versions that have come before it.

    While the Vita version of Rayman Legends is inferior to the rest, it's still a highly enjoyable platforming romp.

    Removing control from the player in a platforming game is a big no no. The Murphy levels in this game do this and it breaks all immersion.Removing control from the player in a platforming game is a big no no. The Murphy levels in this game do this and it breaks all immersion. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to control your character and use the touch screen to move the environment. This game could of been an easy 4/5 with the great normal/music levels but the Murphy levels ruin that chance. The Murphy levels are fundamentally flawed and as such I give this game a 2/5 or 4/10. Buy Rayman Origins instead.… Full Review »

Its the best platform game I've played in years, if ever. It really is as good as Super Mario Bros, the gameplay is just perfect, the levels are beautiful, the difficulty level is set just right, the game is so much fun and there is loads of replayability with the daily challenges that keep me playing every single day, the cups to get and extra levels to unlock, including the Rayman Origins levels.

    Apparently some extra levels that were taken out will be added back in as free DLC, the game has so much content it doesn't really need the extra levels, but its great that the speed run levels will be added back in.

    I really like all the Murphy levels that some don't seem to like. This game is flawless in my opinion, I LOVE it.    … Full Review »

But despite it's likeness there are still lots of new staff. New beatifully painted worlds, lots and lots of characters. The main game levels feels slightly easier to play comparing to Origins. But for those who seek to compete there are online challenges in which you ought to put a lot of effort to take acknowledgeable place. The other fun new staff are levels, where you play with touch panel. I believe it is available only for vita and WiiU gamers. One could not think of a better way to include touch mechanics in a game. The sad thing is that there are no new mosquito stages. But it doesn't really makes this game any worse.… Full Review »
