Origins has its moments later into the game, but it doesn't have the same level of difficulty. This is because a large part of the original game's difficulty was fake, requiring previous knowledge of a level and some pretty darn good reflexes to get much farther than the first world.
The levels in Origins are designed to be smoother. I find that if a platform ends in a chase scene the next platform will often be a full jump away, providing little challenge.
Rayman 1 was a more satisfying game because it was so grindingly hard, but I much prefer the overall experience of Origins.
