Where Rayman 3 succeeds, however, is in borrowing an wide assortment of proven concepts from past platform games, injecting them with a whimsical sense of humor, and creating tough but doable challenges sure to make younger gamers wince and older players smile with knowing respect.
-
Cheat Code CentralCertainly at the top of the heap of GBA games. It's not as difficult as the first one but it's still no cakewalk. It's going to keep you busy for a good long time.
-
It plays great, it looks fantastic and it delievers hours of gaming satisfaction.
-
Rayman 3 neither comes close to toppling the mighty Mario games, nor gives a compelling argument for the merits of cross console link-up gaming, but platform addicts will be well served. The more demanding gamer won’t be.
-
Game InformerBe prepared to repeat levels. Do it and you will be rewarded with beautiful graphics, great sound, and smart level design. [Mar 2003, p.92]
-
In Europe, Rayman can almost do no wrong. It is truly a European figurehead. Its style is a testament to that.
-
It's the level design that makes Rayman 3 stand out. While the early levels are mostly uninteresting, the game picks up as Rayman gains more of his trademark powers: the helicopter float, the wall climb, the super-punch, etc.
-
A very, very, very old-school platformer that doesn’t have enough standout new features to keep it fresh in this day and age.
-
Colorful, detailed, and challenging, the game evolves the series’ gameplay and style. With a ton of unlockable features, including extras available only with connection to a GameCube, Rayman 3 has plenty of playing value.
-
The level of detail is also amazing.
-
It's not wildly original or innovative, it's just fun.
-
Offers no gameplay surprises, not enough challenge, and not enough replay value, but it's certainly prettier than most GBA platformers.
-
While the game has its challenging moments, it doesn’t have the frustration factor that some GBA games have and can be played joyfully by experienced or novice game players.
-
One of those "it could have been a must-buy if..." types of games.
-
GMR MagazineThe delights are mostly in the details - and the developer has taken the time to stuff this version full of neat little extras. [Apr 2003, p.73]
-
Add in one of the most thorough attempts at multiplayer and GameCube connectivity in a GBA game, and the result is a wonderfully deep action platformer.
-
Nintendo PowerThe graphics are clear and colorful, and the play control is tight. [Apr 2003, p.135]
-
If you've ever loved a platforming game, you owe it to yourself to play Rayman 3, simple as that. This one's certain to go down as one of the biggest classics to ever hit the system.
-
A great platformer but can be beaten fairly quickly.
-
Play MagazineAs beautiful a game "Rayman" was, this sequel actually looks and plays even better. [Mar 2003, p.62]
-
Pocket GamesGorgeous graphics and airtight control. [Summer 2003, p.46]
