Thanks to the Wii U gamepad, “Legends” supports up to five players to play together, that can either end in excellent teamwork or total chaos, depending how your fellow comrades play. And, of course, you can either play the game as intended or slap each other senselessly. One key feature is the local cooperative play, that allows players to jump in and out during gameplay. While the Murfy levels are enjoyable and a good change of pace, babysitting a clumsy AI at times is a little off putting. If you’re playing with friends, everyone has to coordinate effectively in order to progress in the later levels. In later levels, the AI acts a little strangely at times, resulting in some unnecessary deaths. It’s one of the best utilizations of the Wii U gamepad up to date, although on the Xbox and Playstation Murfy is relegated to being a button press, instead of being interactive on the Wii U and Vita versions. These levels require that the player controlling Murfy assist the other characters by cutting ropes, moving platforms or rotating objects to progress. There are levels that deviate from the traditional platforming formula and that utilizes a character named Murfy that can assist fellow players (if you’re playing cooperatively) or an AI character. The game autosaves “sequences” so there’s hidden checkpoints throughout the levels you can continue from, should you perish. There’s no “lives” so players don’t have to worry about dying repeatedly. These basic mechanics introduced in the first couple of levels are put to the test as the game progresses. The player can jump, wall jump, glide, punch and run as Rayman, Globox or other characters like Teensies or warrior princesses. While it could be argued that it’s more of the same from “Origins,” the game strives to do more than its predecessor. The sequel to 2011’s “Rayman Origins,” “Rayman Legends,” continues the “Rayman” series using the UbiArt Framework, along with adding new features and gameplay mechanics. The Wii U version of “Rayman Legends” was reviewed, and is available for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii U, PC and Playstation Vita.
