Rayman 3 (N-Gage)

He may appear to have no body to connecting his limbs and head, but Rayman should not be underestimated. In this cartoon-style action-platform game, Rayman must extract the Dark Lum lord, who has been swallowed by his rather dumb friend Globox. With over 50 maps spread across eight universes, plus a unique four-player Capture The Flag mode, Rayman 3 provides a feast of action-platform gameplay. [Nokia]

Critic Reviews

90 Pocket Games
Possibly the best overally N-Gage game to date. Hopefully more like this will follow. [Spring 2004, p.18]
85 IGN
One of the most enjoyable games currently available for the N-Gage, not to mention one of the most polished 2D platforming experiences we've seen in quite a while.
85 GameSpy
Better than a platformer starring a limbless Frenchman has a right to be, and is arguably the best title on N-Gage so far.
84 GameZone
The game plays really well on the N-Gage. The controls are spot on and nicely done. The only bad thing is the screen length which hampers the view of enemies at times, but this is forgivable.
80 Game Informer
Although the scrolling and character movement is a bit choppier than before, the gorgeous graphics are actually better, due mostly to the N-Gage's superior backlit screen. [Feb 2004, p.114]
80 GamerFeed
The game is actually quite fun, and is a tricky platformer that will test even the sharpest of skills with its exploration and challenge. The presentation is nice and the multiplayer aspect isn't half bad.
80 AceGamez
Rayman 3 is the best platform game available for the N-Gage.
76 GameSpot
Even though it's essentially just a clean port of a Game Boy Advance offering, Rayman 3 proves to be one of the N-Gage's best games so far, simply by virtue of the fact that it provides a fun single-player experience without too many caveats.
75 Game Power Australia
It hardly reinvents the genre, and to call it cutting edge would be stretching the truth, but Rayman 3 is genuinely good fun, something that can't be said for too many N-Gage games.
