   Collect lums to free electoons to progress in the game. Collect all lums to fully complete game and get gold medals. Doing this is extremely hard even in the first stages. The player is able to switch their playable character. The 3DS game has achievements to unlock.

   Well i be honest i cant see why everyone is hating on this game? possibly because there comparing it to HD console versions or the fact gameWell i be honest i cant see why everyone is hating on this game? possibly because there comparing it to HD console versions or the fact game doesn't have local 4 player co-op which to me is no big deal. i bought it the other day for £18 pound and Ive got nothing but praise for it. Am not comparing this to any other version as am taking it on its own merits and what Ive played Ive enjoyed alot. Yes it has few faults no 4 player option which for me is not big draw. And you cant play as teenise's on 3DS version which is shame. Other than that i personal thought gameplay was great and really enjoyed it. Graphics specially in underwater levels look beautiful and while character aren't as detailed or crisp they do there job just as well. All 60 levels are present plus the huge boss battles, string of chest challenges, time attack levels and few unlockable costumes for two playable characters - Rayman and Globlox are present. There are few really cool flying levels and very tricky platforming treats around every corner. Ive notices 4 drops of slowdown in some of later levels but nothing game breaking. 3D while not "SUPER POP OUT" makes levels feel very pretty and gives them nice sense of depth which i really liked. Other reviews mention blurry textures which are there but again doesn't make the game ugly or unpleasing to eye. Personal this best 2D plaftformer Ive picked up in ages and if you enjoy this type of game then ill think you'll get kick out of it! BTW this game also has 32 achievements and use's streetpass function on 3DS.… Expand

   The 3DS version seems like it's almost directly taken from the home console versions, which isn't surprising, but other than being 3D, andThe 3DS version seems like it's almost directly taken from the home console versions, which isn't surprising, but other than being 3D, and having a bottom screen, there's really no difference. I'm still going to give it an 8 because it's a great game in it's own right, they just could 've added a few extra things for the 3DS. On the PlayStation Vita they added the feature of being able to touch enemies to pop them once they have been bubbleized. This may sound like a small feature, but it's things like this that define it for the console you're playing it on.… Expand

   Overall, it was a good game. But there were a lot of glitches. Sometimes, whole parts of the soundtrack were removed, and it just kept playingOverall, it was a good game. But there were a lot of glitches. Sometimes, whole parts of the soundtrack were removed, and it just kept playing at a different point in the song. Also, part of Raymans head was missing. And to top it all off, the loading took FOREVER. The game was OK, but you'd be better off buying the console version instead.… Expand

   Ladies and gentlemen, the boys and the girls, this game is not suit for your grandma to play, unless your grandma is really an expert.Ladies and gentlemen, the boys and the girls, this game is not suit for your grandma to play, unless your grandma is really an expert. However! Don't misunderstand what i say, the game is not so difficult for us, the young generation. I know someone may say 'Oh my guard! Wat is wrong With The SizE!" What do you expect from a 3.5 inches screen brother and sister -_- I play this game on my nokia old phone N-Gage , in this more smaller screen maybe you guys can search for nokia n-gage screen size... You may feel terrible rayman size , but i feel 'Oh DEER! OH MY GUARD !!! THIS GAME IS GOD! FREAKING GOOD!" I even play worm on that smaller screen phone than 3ds , but i never complain , your eyes will used to it within a few minutes.... We human sensory system mostly used to compare the differences , so when you zoom out the gameplay on your big big monitor screen find the game terrible tiny , but when you play on 3ds ... HEHEHEHE YOU NOE WAT I MEAN! Nothing bad in the game.. Really good for me, but ps1 is best, because ps1 bring the first surprise to me.....… Expand

   Yeah its the same game as on the home consoles. No, it's not as good as all the other versions.

   Ultimately this version of the game runs well, plays well, and isn't a complete waste of money (if you get it cheaper than full price anyway). If you have no other options for playing it, then this is a passable effort that you may well enjoy.
   
   Where it fails completely is in the graphics. The 3D effect is nice, and adds a subtle depth to the game. The graphics though are so poor it's hard to imagine the previous generation DS consoles struggling to reproduce it. For a game produced by "UbiArt" that on home consoles had some gorgeous hand-drawn images, this is a massive disappointment. Blockly, blurry, ill-defined.
   
   It's a terrible shame, because otherwise this game is solid and deserves to be played - but compared to the high resolution and crisp quality of all home versions, this one just needed some more work to live up to the quality of the other versions.… Expand

   A pathetic port. My g*****n cell phone can probably run this game, why did Ubisoft have to port a halved frame rate and tons of lag into thisA pathetic port. My g*****n cell phone can probably run this game, why did Ubisoft have to port a halved frame rate and tons of lag into this game? Personally I thought the graphics were fine, but the fact that the game crawls and stutters, a 2D PLATFORMER crawling and stuttering when the original plays at 60 fps, is pathetic. Along with Rayman 3D's atrocious frame rate, I'm just not sure Ubisoft knows what they're doing anymore. And why did it take so long to release?… Expand
