Rayman’s back for great adventures, this time on PC

Rayman Origins is a side-scrolling 2D platformer that throws you into a colorful world while you try to rescue imprisoned Electoons.

Graphically impressive, Raymon Origins offers a cartoon feel, along with gorgeous environments. This demo was released in advance of the full PC game, which is scheduled for release on March 29, 2012.

Rayman Origins takes place in a peaceful world called the Glade of Dreams. Peaceful, yes, until Rayman and his friends’ snoring disturbs a Land of the Livid Death inhabitant who sends out an army of evil creatures to capture Electoons and throw the Glad into chaos as retaliation.

The goal of Rayman Origins is to free Electoons and collect ruby teeth throughout the game. You can play the game as Rayman, his friend Globox or one of two Teensies in an up to four player co-op.

As you travel through each level in Rayman Origins, the object is to fight enemies and rescue Electoons that have been imprisoned. Your character will obtain new powers and abilities as the game progresses, from running up walls to gliding in midair, swimming and shrinking in size, which keeps things interesting.

The Rayman Origins demo limits the levels you can play, but it gives you a taste of what the full game will be like. You must have Steam installed to play the game.

Rayman Origins is a graphically stunning adventure with a fun storyline.
