Ubisoft's UbiArt engine is strutting its stuff again, and the high-resolution 2D graphics and fluid animation make for a pleasurable experience. That said, it definitely takes some getting used to, especially if you're accustomed to the usual "run right until you die" setup.Īs always, the Rayman series is positively bursting with original character designs, colorful and unique stages, and fantastic music. It's an interesting way to translate a conventional platforming experience into a touchscreen where the old d-pad standard doesn't always hold up.
