So the focus shifted from the TV to the gamepad. After starting out as Rayman, the game soon prompted me to call in Murphy. Three levels are available I started with the Teensies Trouble level. I then tried out the Rayman Legends demo. More than anything, that is the main reason I won’t be buying this game. That’s one thing I hated about the Wii game, and unfortunately they didn’t change it in the sequel. So if someone else is already using your character, you have to choose a different character. Especially since only one person in a race can be any given character (such as when racing online). It seems like a decent game, but I don’t plan on buying it. I failed at it twice and didn’t feel like trying any more. You have to get a certain distance by hitting all the boost areas in a course. The only other thing available from the start was a boost challenge. But DKR didn’t change vehicles mid-race like Sonic does. It reminded me of Diddy Kong Racing, which had car, hovercraft, and plane races. At various points, your car changes into a boat or a plane. But even within a single race, each lap is different.

It felt like pretty standard kart racing at first. I played the only race available at the start, a Panzer Dragoon themed course.

I first tried out the Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed demo. The Sonic Racing demo allows 15 plays and the Rayman Legends gives you 30. Wii U demos are different from Wii demos, in that you can only play the demos a certain number of times. The Wii U eShop now has two new demos, for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Rayman Legends. Despite a few minor annoyances, the game has been a lot of fun, so expect a high score. Some of the “puzzles” are really just trivia.īut since I have now completed the game, you can expect a review soon. Not everyone is an expert on topics such as Don Quixote, types of badgers, and very specific types of boats. If you don’t know the literary reference, pop culture reference, or specific name of an item you may have only seen on TV, you’ll likely need some help to fully complete the game. Some of the “object shards” are a bit obscure. Tonight, I completed Scribblenauts Unlimited.
