Wow, Rayman Origins on 3DS is just so fucking bad. I wanted to buy it in Rayman & Rabbids Family Pack because I found a listing for just 5 EUR (Origins standalone is more expensive, kek). I downloaded the game from hShop to check if it's worth it before I pulled the trigger and good thing I did, because this is certainly the worst version of Origins on any platform. The graphics are blurry and the game only runs at 30 FPS (overclocking the CPU to New 3DS levels doesn't help). This was probably unavoidable considering the technical limitations of 3DS, there is probably no way to make UbiArt's 2D vector graphics look good on a display with such a low resolution or make the game run smoother considering it was optimized for Old 3DS. But that's where excuses end. They also compressed the audio to the point where it sounds like ear rape if you listen to it through headphones (seriously, try it if you have a hacked 3DS). This is a huge shame, because music is one of the best parts of this game. I think they also cut some content, because I remember there being 350 Lums and 5 Electoon cages in the first level, but there is only 150 Lums and 3 Electoon cages in this version. All of that was probably done to conserve cartridge space and increase UbiSoft's profits, which is inexcusable. The size of this game is less than 200MB. Compare that to a game like Dead or Alive Dimensions that wasn't at all much more expensive than Origins for 3DS back when it released but was over a gigabyte in size.

Avoid this shit, play the Vita version instead if you can, that one is miles ahead.
