![]() ![]() Rayman’s portly purple friend Globox is back as well, and while you’d half expect him to start belting out children’s songs, instead he accidentally swallows the evil leader of the lums a Black Lum named Andre who desperately wants to escape Globox’s tummy and constantly makes his desire for freedom painfully clear by thrashing around in his stomach and demanding prune juice. Murfy, also known as “The Flying Encyclopedia”, is back in fine form, dishing out tips, hints, and a heaping serving of sarcasm. Many characters from the last Rayman outing resurface in this game, some of which play considerably larger roles this time around. Though no less dependant on outlandish fantastical environments, Hoodlum Havoc is distinctly more mature, in both look and demeanor. The first thing that jumps out at you about Rayman 3 is its dark and moody motif. Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc has been unleashed on all three 128-bit platforms and while some may be disappointed to discover that it isn’t the revolutionary step forward from part two that part two was from the original, it does manage to further improve and refine the formula the made the series such a blockbuster hit to begin with. But the time is finally upon us, fellow gamers. ![]() It’s been over three years since that excellent sequel to the original Rayman was released and fans of the series have received little in the way of new Rayman action since (save for a 2D GBA side-scroller, countless Rayman 2 remakes, and the woefully disappointing Rayman Arena). But it wasn’t until Rayman 2: The Great Escape came out that gamers perked up their ears and really started to take notice. Rayman has worked his way up in the videogame industry, making his rounds on nearly every imaginable platform (PC, GBC, Jaguar, Sega Saturn, PlayStation, N64, Dreamcast, GBA). His modest beginnings gave no indication that he’d eventually evolve into the 3D platforming mega-superstar that he is today. Rayman has come a long way since the days he spent tooling around as the unofficial mascot for Atari’s ill-fated Jaguar console. ![]()
