5.0 out of 5 stars Rayman 3 from a newbie's perspective, May 6, 2003

This review is from: Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (Video Game)

I'm new to the Rayman license, and was looking to try out the platformer. Many people I know enjoyed Rayman 2, so when this one came out, I figured I'd try it out.

I was impressed! Many of the colors in the game were bright, the humor dark, and all the right elements were there for a great platformer. That and the Gameboy Advance link-up bonuses, and the ability to compare your score against people across the world online made this an awesome package. I wasn't sure what was so great about Rayman, but now I'm convinced, and I still pick it up to play a couple hours after beating the game a while ago.

A great game, worth your hard earned money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why can't all games be like this?, March 19, 2003

This review is from: Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (Video Game)

This is, possibly, the single best platform game I have played. Ever.

I know it's better than Rayman 2. And that was a five star effort.

Basically, everything about this game just oozes quality. The graphics are as beautiful as ever, infact more beautiful than ever. Some of the bosses in particular are just jaw-dropping.
The sound is that typical UbiSoft Rayman beautiful-world symphony, except with a bit of an edge to it this time. It still sounds beautiful, and fits perfectly, except it now sounds like it was composed this century. Personal highlights of the soundtrack are the first Reflux boss and The Summit Beyond The Clouds.

Gameplay is more varied than ever. You'll platform it up a la Rayman 2. You'll shoot on rails a la Panzer Dragoon. You'll snowboard a la Sonic Adventure. You'll solve the most ingenious platform puzzles you ccould think of. And you'll do other stuff. Stuff I can't even describe. Like I once said reviewing Rayman 2, you'll do things that other companies need to sit down and have explained to them by a man with a large whiteboard.
Lastability-wise, not only are there tons of mini-games to unlock, but there's also the high score challenge, complete with online world ranking at Raymanzone.com.

But the best bit? THe presentation. Rayman has lost slightly the cutesy edge he acquired in R2, largely thanks to some great dialogue and fantastic voice acting. Including Billy West (Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, etc.) as the disgruntled, manual-badmouthing tutorial host Murfy and John Leguizamo (Ice Age, etc.) as the slightly-drunken (on plum juice) Globox. There's lots of self-referential humor as well ^_^

Order it from these lovely Amazon.compeople NOW.

This review is from: Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (Video Game)

When i got this game, it seemed very easy, but its accually kinda difficult. There are cool bosses, such as The Hoodlum Stomper,Razoff the Hunter,and the Knaaren(with are very hard to persue)! This is one of the best games I've ever played. Its lots of fun getting through levels like ClearLeaf Forest,The Bog of Murk, and the Desert of the Knaaren. The whole game is about bringing your friend Globox to the doctor because he "accidentally" ate a black Lum.Whats really stupid about it is that each doctor tells you he cant fix up your friend and he send you to another doctor.Over all, this game is Great!!!
