From what I've seen, this game is a strong compeditor against the Jak & Daxter and Rachet and Clank series. It has pretty good graphics with some low frame rates, decent sound, and original gameplay which will most likely keep you addicted. Worth the money? You decide.

Eww, Rayman talks!!! (pukes on the controller)

I'm 46, just using the kid's review.

I must say that I loved Rayman 2. One of it's most endearing features was the gibberish that the characters spoke. There's just a certain charm that reading text has that "talking games" don't. All blown to bits in Rayman 3.

The characters in Rayman 3 have english voice acting. Rayman's new voice was particularly upsetting, very american and sarcastic. In fact, the whole game feels like it got it's inspiration from that nightmare from Rare, Conker's Bad Fur Day. No severe vulgarity of course, unless you count Globox being drunk. That's right, Globox gets drunk. Poor, poor taste. This is not the Rayman I remember, Ubisoft. Rayman Raving Rabbids for Wii wasn't much better either. Get back on track Ancel, you're ruining the series, even though you had little to do with this installment.

I can still remember..

(cont.) waking up that christmas when I was (can't tell, sorry) years old, and then running downstairs to the chimney, and there it was. Rayman 2: The Great Escape. I played it and when I finally beat it (in 14 days may I add) I was both overjoyed, and covered with agony. I had beaten I game, and a darn good one! but I had also put myself through the agony of reading the words: " And so we are safe, until a new enemy appears."- er something like that. And so I waited for (once again, sorry) years, hiding in my little cave-er house-er living, in my little-er I mean fairly regular sized house, hehe. And then that faithful day I saw on IGN.com: Rayman 3 announced. I after that I was so happy I (sigh, sorry). And so I will know reveal some things I know about this game

- Globox eats the Lord of the Dark lums, and the whole plot is the Hoodlums( My-er the Lord of the Dark Lums Slaves, er somethin') trying to save me-er him.

-Raymans got new moves, new costume, and english, ya heard me english over (yep ya know, sorry) years. Before he said stuff like " Ai wan de Rayman"

- Need you know more?

So, I recomend, you buy this game, BY ALL MEANS NESSASARY!

Oh yeah, as for the bad guys name, well uh, his name, is um, uh, OH, um I uh, got to feed my fish, to my cat, to my Darkl-er I mean dog, and then put him back in his uh-bowl.

with non of the due respect
Andre

hehe, they'll never guess that I'm the Lord of the DarkLums! What the, I'm typing without thinking, noooo! stupid comput

Great Game

Long time ago I played Rayman 2, great game. The ending was a little dissapointing, since i wanted more game. But don't get me wrong it was still a good game. Now rayman3 comes out, even better. It doesn't blow rayman2 away but its better. If your gonna get a gamecube game i recommend this game.

3 and a half stars

Rayman as a series rules, but this isnt one of their best. I think they took complaints about the difficulty level too seriously , because this game is way easy, and all about flinging fireballs madly like gauntlet more than adventuring and puzzle solving like the other ones. Also, the game is pretty short. That said, it has some good plusses as well. The visuals are awesome/fantasyish, the enemies are varied and fun, the bosses are fun to beat, and then there's the other thing; the tunnels, for lack of a better word, are what stand out in my mind. There's only like 2 or 3 in the game, but after beating it I found myself replaying them over and over again. They are tunnels with psychedelic backgrounds, wherein the jazzy/funk/orchestra music totally responds to your characters actions. It moves along and you must follow, by jumping from note to note, and if you fall(as it does move quite quickly), you are picked up and set back on again, accompanied by a wailing saxophone note or something similar. I wish there had been more of these in the game.

A lot of fun

its a very fun game almost matching up to dreamcasts rayman 2.It has lots of new powers like cool suits and cool bad guys and a different battle system which is cool. The graphics are cartoony but good and the music is cool and the voice of john liguazamo are sometimes really funny. Its pretty much a wacky fun game for any age so have fun.

Dark and evil graphics add up to be an insane adventure from doctor to doctor in an attempt to aid Globox. Fighting off darklums, hoodlums and various other bosses you receive points. Points acquire bonus levels and extra games. Cinamatic sequences are unlocked after you progress past them, and the game is of medium length.
The only let down is Rayman's turning ability. Sometimes he'll take a couple of steps in the turning process, but it's managable for the most part.

Wacky and fun

I've played Rayman2 and loved so I just couldn't help getting the third installment. Raymans adventure begins when a red lum scared to death by something turns into crazed blacklums, the blacklum multiplies until only blacklums are left in the core of the world. After a couple of levels Globox swallows Andre, king of blacklums and those hoodlums won't give globox any peace until Andre comes out, meanwhile you as Rayman need to beat wacked-out levels to get to doctors and free globox of his pesky blacklum. Thats all really, just one level I need to warn you about, the desert of Knaaren, those guys are creepy! First they capture globox then they chase you, not to mention they're invinsible AND say weird stuff like "brains" and "tastes better salted" they are the real meaning of depressing. Now go buy it!!!!!

Lots of Pros, but a couple cons, but its still great!

Like all Rayman games, its an instant favorite to kids and even maybe adults, but the 3rd installment of Rayman is not one of those kind of games. Rayman 3 has an excellent story line featuring pretty much all your favorite characters like little, but not so little Globox, and the wise-crackin' Murph,(your guide throughout most of the game).The controls are easy to learn, I learned them the first day I got the game!, so i'd give the controls a 4/5. The graphics are magnificent!, you know how all the games you used to buy on Nintendo 64 had characters that didnt even move their mouth or show that much expression when they were sad or mad, well now you can take the thought off your mind, Rayman 3 has the best graphics in the entire Rayman series so far, so i'd give graphics 5/5. The only thing that turned me off is Raymans moves, all of them are pretty much the same except for a couple modifications which would would make your gameplay a little better, but i'll let you find out about those little modifications yourself. I know this review is short, but I can only type a limited amount of words so bare with me. Overall i'd give Rayman 3 a 4.75/5, and that is still a VERY good rating so I hope you fellow gamers enjoy Rayman as much as I have, see ya!

This almost beats Jak 3 and Ratchet 3!!!
