rayman 2 called
It alright!
Honestly the story about the making of the game is more interesting than the game itself. Originally being made as a GBA version of Rayman 2, they instead shoehorned in some Rayman 3 stuff (like the bare minimum) so they could tie it into 3’s console release.
And since it plays more like Rayman 1, it DOES kinda feel like a melting pot of the first three Rayman games, which is interesting.
The story is an absolute mess. Like, Globox swallows a black Lum, that makes sense, but Razorbeard and the robo pirates are back?? What
But other than that? It’s a solid 2D platformer. Not always super interesting, but it works, looks alright, sounds alright, it’s fun enough! Gameplay mixes it up every now and then with minigames, kinda a standard GBA 2D platformer. But it does it well enough, and I always have a great time with my boy Rayman.

every day we fall further and further from the lord's grace
the sounds of this game are forever ingrained in my memory
A Sequel we didn't need
It would be a fun 2d platformer, if the controls were acceptable
Rayman 3 on GBA is a little odd. It's a decent game nonetheless, but still odd. It seems to combine aspects of both Rayman 2 & 3 on console without realizing the full potential of either of them. Still plays solidly as a 2D platformer, though & has strong visuals & audio for a handheld game of its time period. I don't think I ever played it enough to finish it, but it was still alright for what it was.

One of the first games ever emulated. I remember being a nice platform until I got stuck in some bullshit and deleted the ROM by frustration.
This game was not necessary and felt vastly different than every game before it. That said, a lot of the world you move through is pretty cool and has a lot of the swirly rayman charm. The soundtrack for this one is VERY good.
This game is such a tragedy. I cant believe the greatness of Rayman 2 came before it. Its like a completely different team made this game with zero research done on the previous games. All the characters act differently. The setting feels different. Rayman's abilities are different. The dialogue of this game is ATROCIOUS. Its just a bunch of "lol im so random, rawr tacos XD" ass dialogue. Its like if they made Uncle Grandpa into a shitty platformer. The story is constantly sidetracked by random ass encounters. They shoehorned a bunch of adult humor into the game (Im fine with adult humor, it just felt out of place for a rayman game). Every fucking character is annoying and doesnt shut up. The combat is bad. Lock-on doesnt work and you NEED it to fight. Most of the actual platforming was OK. Some good, some ok, some bad. I felt that the enemies of the game, black lums with guns called Hoodlums, is a weird racist allegory and I cant think of it any other way. Just dont play this game man.
No sé cuantas veces me habré podido pasar este juego. Es nostálgico, buen gameplay y su música hermosa. No suelo rejugar juegos, este ha sido de los pocos que han tenido ese privilegio y dudo que sea la última vez que lo termine
