Can't wait for it. Was a big fan of the Great Escape, and that's what really got me in the series, as I later played the first and third. I have been looking forward for this game since day one. Think it will probably be a Christmas game that I'll get for the Wii.

Also, unrelated, but was the Jak confirmed as a trilogy? Haven't heard anything of a possible Jak 4(If there is, would so get it).

I'm glad Rayman's finally getting a proper game again. After the frustrating annoying cretins that were the Rabbids, it looks like Rayman is finally reaping back his place as Ubisoft's mascot.

SO NO MORE RAYMAN 2 PORTS FOR EVERY NEW CONSOLE UNDER THE SUN PLZ.

I got this game for Christmas as well and I just completed the story mode last night, which was pretty damn epic I might add. So much frustrating, thought-provoking, precise platforming; so good. Excellent game, the best platformer I've played this year hands down.

With just the few maneuvers and the fact that every piece of the environment can be interacted with properly, the developers have given you an obscene amount of control over Rayman both in how he can navigate his environment as well as save himself from potential gaffes. They even managed to get a swimming mechanic in there that isn't confusing, a pace-bogger, or freaking annoying. Combine this with level design that begins to get more demanding of the player's handling of Rayman overtime in a reasonable manner, culminating in an amazing final level, and you have something marvelous. T'is a shame Ubisoft essentially sent this game to die; it needs more sales. 8(

I also dabbled in multiplayer two days ago with a friend for about five hours, and the entire time I was wondering why this was much better to play than NSMBWii, why I didn't feel the need at any time to punch her in her damned mouth and vice versa. Aside from the fact that you can punch players in-game(!), the complete lack of player collision detection beyond that was a god-send. If RO had been another ping-pong ball affair with its level of floatiness, I wouldn't have been happy playing this with anyone.

Also, little competition. There's no power-ups thus nothing to gouge each others' eyes over; the collection of Lums only amounts to who's placed where on the stage over screen, but the more important thing is how many you've both collected together, and this vastly increases cooperation between your partners much sooner; you'll be actively deciding which of the players should go for which Lums and coins, and telling each other to wait for a second as you go for something they may have missed. It's great.

Everyone who gives even the tiniest bit of a damn about good platformers- nay, good games in general- is obligated to buy this one.
