At a recent press preview in NYC, I had a chance to demo parts of the upcoming [*Rayman Legends*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmVtkqypEBw&ref=killscreen.com)*,* a follow-up to 2011’s *Rayman Origins.

Actually, that’s [exactly](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mm%5FdpsF9yY&ref=killscreen.com) what they’re [doing](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbr8hLmJezE&ref=killscreen.com).
