I'm about 10% of the way through it and it's nothing near as hard as the first was by now. Origins doesn't have lives, either. You simply continue from the start of the room when you die. One of my biggest issues with Rayman was the gruling continue/life system.
While there's still difficulty, Ubisoft have done away with objects appearing randomly which relyed on previous knowledge of a level essential to completion. It also feels much better, giving the player oodles more air control.
The helicopter and attack mechanics are much smoother now, too. Some levels in Origins require you to fly in gusts of wind much like the Super Helicopter level in Mr Stone's Peaks. The key difference is that the helicopter feels infinitely more responsive in Origins.
So it's not as hard yet, but if it gets to be it will feel less unfair and still be fun.
