    Rayman 3's most awesome attribute, as incredible as the movies, dialogue, and gameplay are, is a level of visual splendor that defies everything I've come to know about lighting effects in a video game. [Mar 2003, p.47]

    Ubi Soft gives their mascot the star treatment and it pays off in a game that captures the real fun of platform hopping, environmental puzzle solving, and boss character combat. Rayman 3 is a treat.

    It's the gameplay in Rayman 3, though, that really keeps you hooked. [Apr 2003, p.84]

    I didn't find this game particularly challenging but it's still loads of fun.

    The camera and the linear fashion of the levels didn’t make me a Rayman convert but I did have fun – especially with those drug-inspired transition sections. Far out, man!

    I hesitate to call it a nice try, because in some ways it didn't even really do that.
  7. GMR Magazine
    50
    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]

Globox's delicate body movements have given me ASMR ever since I was a little kid. In my opinion Globox was portrayed as someone who helps Rayman to find himself again after the tragic events which led him to losing his hands, but I think there's more to it. Globox is an amazing, strong and independent frog. I don't think he would want to waste a second in Rayman, since he clearly does not appreciate Globox's globoxness. The essence of Globox's soul has always been tirppas, which was completely forgotten in the process of making this game. Despite the complete failure of capturing Globox's true being, this is one of the best games in the world. Globox has always been slept on, but that has to come to an end. I will personally make sure that Globox gets all the love and appreciation that he truly deserves.
