I first saw a pre-release box of this in a shop. I looked at the screenshots on the back and thought 'Oh good - this looks like Rayman 2'. Turns out, though, it is literally Rayman 2. You know, that game that's over a decade old and gets released on ev...
Outstanding level design rewards exploration, 3D effect makes it feel new again, Memorable music and characters...
It's virtually a straight port only 3D added, Framerate lapses are inexcusable in a game this old, It's got Rayman in it. Do you like Rayman?...

It’s not exactly the sort of launch title we were expecting for the 3DS, but now’s not the time to complain. We could point out that we would expect something more bespoke for the handheld, what with it bringing an exciting new technology to the masses...
If you’re looking for a title to showcase your new handheld, Rayman 3D isn’t it. 3D sometimes makes you coo, though not often, and the touchscreen isn’t used. Nevertheless, being a tweaked version of an already good game means what you’re left with is...

Rayman 3D is a port of Rayman 2: the Great Escape, a PlayStation, N64, and Dreamcast game. Rayman 2 is considered a minor classic in the 3D platforming genre but I confess that I missed it the first time around. This game has been re-released multiple...

Between the lack of polish and the finicky 3D visuals, there’s too many problems with Rayman 3D to make up for the solid gameplay. To give the 3DS some faint praise, it’s nice to see that it can ably handle Nintendo 64 games. While Mario 64 DS failed...
An enjoyable mix between Mariostyle platforming and Zeldastyle puzzle solving; some scenes work well in 3D; the characters are endearing; one of the longest 3DS games available.
3D “ghosting” effects happen far too often; the visuals and (especially) the sound have aged poorly; the bottom screen serves no purpose; pretty much the same game that was available in 1999.

First things first, Rayman 3D is not a new game. In an eerie parallel to the DS launch, Ubisoft ported one of their console Rayman games to Nintendo's latest dual-screen handheld. Despite the obvious pun, this isn't Rayman 3, but rather Ubisoft chose t...

If you've ever wondered what the 3D platformers of the late 1990s would look like with contemporary stereoscopic technology, then you need look no further than Rayman 3D. Unfortunately, a snazzy handling of this new technology is the only surprise it p...
Great gameplay variety, Admirable 3D effects, Loads of replay value.
It's yet another port of Rayman 2, Frame rate occasionally stutters when playing in 3D, Adjusted difficulty makes the game too easy.
Rayman 3D may be yet another port of Rayman 2, but its improved controls and capable 3D implementation breathe new life into the title...

How best to show off exciting new technology? Apparently with an 11-year-old game that's been given minimal graphical improvements and doesn't do anything interesting or new. Don't let the name fool you, Rayman 3D is not a new game made for Nintendo's...
Rayman 3D was once a brilliant game, but it's showing its age. And without any real improvements to the gameplay or the visuals, it feels old. The entire time I was playing, I felt ripped off. I'd been suckered into thinking I would be getting somethin...

In its time, Rayman 2 was a good game. Released on the Nintendo 64 when 3D platformers were at the height of their popularity, Rayman 2 had a lot of things going for it, and the way it fell in the footsteps of other 3D platformers and outright copied o...

It’s a sad but simple fact: when a videogame becomes a breakout success, there are many imitators that follow it in the hopes of achieving the same level of acclaim. This is all too apparent these days with nearly every developer trying to...

Given Mario's no-show in the 3DS' launch line-up, it's fallen to Ubisoft's one-time mascot to represent the platform genre instead. True, Rayman might not possess the same air of importance as the portly Italian plumber, but don't let that put you off...
