What time is it?
It is so pretty and run silky smooth. Controls feel spot on. It looks like there are five playable characters in the demo (4 from the outset and one unlocked by collecting 9 Electoons that are hidden in the game though I think three of them are for meeting time/collection bonuses). One of the hidden rooms containing an Electoon seemed to be themed after Angry Birds. I've never played a Rayman game before but this demo has sold me.
I don't see an option for co-op but I don't have a second controller plugged in.
edit: I forgot to mention that I love the music and the loading screens are interactive.

I was thinking about getting Sonic, then I saw this thread. Can't believe I forgot about this beauty. So ready.

Using the $20 credit I got from Newegg's Dark Soul's LE preorder fuck-up so I don't feel too awful about the price. I'm sure it'd be worth the $60 anyways. Gotta support this game.

Loved the demo, fantastic music, it feels like your playing a Disney cartoon, animations are amazing, I really wish there was more 2D plat-formers that took advantage of current gen hardware.
One thing though, I've never really played a Rayman game before, partly because I'm actually not a fan of the character himself, I know it may seem petty but the floaty/disjointed body parts of the character have always bugged me but I noticed in the demo you can choose different characters, can you play through the whole SP campaign with those other characters rather than Rayman?

Playing the demo now. Hooooly shit it's F'n amazing! Havent geeked out over a game this hard in a long time.The graphics, the gameplay, damn...It beautiful! Debating whether I want to play with stick or d-pad. D-pad seems like the obvious choice, but I really want to play this on the 360 in my living room...Decisions..
So, I just played the demo and I'm absolutely stunned. I had *so* much fun! The game looks absolutely gorgeous, the controls are tight, the music is simply a delight and I can't wait to play more! This was the most sheer unadulterated fun I had with a video game in a long time. I was thoroughly enjoying myself the whole way through. Amazing stuff!
Maybe its because I haven't played a real platformer for years but I have to agree some of the checkpoints seem a little too far spaced out.
But holy shit at the music and the jaw dropping visuals.. my god. The gameplay felt super smooth and fun as well. Going to buy this for sure but I hope the checkpoints don't sour my fun with the final game.

Really pumped for this game. Could be platformer GOTY?

Yeah you can tell the game is definitely going to have it's challenging moments, especially from watching the video at the end of the demo, little worried about the check points in that regards, as other have said a few of them in the demo felt to far apart.

Downloading it at the moment too. I'm still on the fence about what console I want it on. Hopefully after I give the demo a go, I'll be able to make up my mind. Sort of leaning towards the PS3, despite me generally getting multi platform games on the 360.
Looks great, didn't have the speakers on much. Seems like the music is good, the sound fx could get annoying.
Sadly, there doesn't not seem to be much (if any) invulnerability after getting hit. I would get hit twice (usually by the same thing) within seconds of each other and lose my life.
Time Trial implementation seems frustrating.

I'm glad I skipped on Sonic Gen for right now, the demo was so fucking beautiful. The music, my God.

YES it works flawlessly with the Neo Geo pad, doesn't look like Select is used either so the Saturn USB pads should be just as good.
Can't Wait.

Absolutely loved every morsel of the demo... until I got to the 3rd stage and the big worm things were chasing me. Game immediately went from fun and challenging to flat out irritating--the worms are way to close, so you have almost no room for error. Anyone know what % of the game contains these annoying bits? If it's a small amount, then I can stomach them b/c everything else seems so glorious.

Played the demo, was good (except the last level), but seemed more actiony than platformer. Will probably get when $20 or below.
