  1. It's pretty, it's quite a challenge, and is loaded with rewards. But you'll quickly come to the conclusion that for all its charms, it doesn't offer enough new ideas, and that its competition is just too strong.

    It’s kinda clever, but once you get the basic formula its not very challenging.

    The creators' scatterbrained ideas for ways to improve Rayman 3 over its direct predecessor has left the game shackled with a lot of half-baked, completely non-cohesive concepts and generally dull, repetitive, and tiresome gameplay.

    There's a certain amount of wit and flair evident throughout Hoodlum Havoc's cut-scenes, and there are certainly some very slick production values. The problem is that, in terms of raw enjoyment, the game is somehow underwhelming. [May 2003, p.104]

    Snide voice acting turns cutesy bit players Globox and Murfy into electronic annoyances, and Hoodlum Havoc revels in its lame humor. [Apr 2003, p.68]

    Not As Great As The First Two, But Still Worth It
    Rayman 3 Has All The Cleverness And Fun That The First Two Had.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This is a pretty solid game with a great sense of humour and some sweet level design, yet I somehow found the earlier portion of the game funner than the later portion. Not sure what it is to be honest. Possibly because Murphy disappears very early on? I'm not sure. Full Review »
