But the water levels have the best music!

The background graphics are extremely beauitful, but I don't like character designs and the bland level design.

The level design may be a bit bland, but it's memorable at least in the demo. I'd hurry and buy this if it didn't cost thirty bucks. |

It's for sale on steam right now, 20 bucks, was 15 last week. I'm at the water levels myself now (already did a previous playthrough), I enjoy those the least aswell.
I think the level design isn't bland at all, ecspecially the treasure chase levels are brilliantly fluid.

The levels are well-designed for their specific purpose. In this case, the purpose is to speed-run fluidly through them, Meat-Boy style. (though without Meat-Boy's blistering level of difficulty) You aren't going to be seeing the kind of puzzle-platforming normally found in Mario titles, or the more sprawling levels present in the Sonic series. This is extremely linear platforming designed for a swift and fluid pace, and rapid re-plays. (again, Meat-Boy style)
Personally, I love this title. I picked it up at launch for full price, and have no regrets. (the PS3 version) I can't understand why anyone would object to paying $30 for it. It is an excellent platformer with some of the best 2D art I've seen in games in recent years.

I love it. Got it for the PC where it had the 30€ price tag right from the beginning. Played it alone a bit, the level design is next to brilliant and the art/animations already received their rightful praise here. But boy... one afternoon we gathered at a friends large TV, everyone brought his/her controller, and there was a whole night of screaming, laughing and hilarity. Easily one of the best gaming experiences I had in the recent "always online, no LAN" years.
Now I'm playing it with my girlfriend. Unfortunately, due to the design, it's much easier in multiplayer.

I didn't really enjoy what I played of it at GDC (which was admittedly just a little bit). Kind of confirmed my suspicions that it was going to be a "europlatformer" with super floaty physics and disjointed level design.
Meat Boy and Dustforce are much better-tuned for pure platforming and short speed runs, imo.

The water levels in Rayman: Origins are much better than in most games. The water doesn't slow you down to make it a drag, and you don't "jump" to swim up.

Just got this, and I must say I'm enjoying it thoroughly. It's like they got the first Rayman (the first game I actually owned. Oh the nostalgy!) and revamped it thoroughly. Perhaps the best vector art I've ever seen in a game.

I've been playing with one of my friends and I have to say that it's one of the most fun experiences I've had with a game in a long time.
