Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge...... December 1, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I didn't really know there was a third game in the Rayman series for the Gameboy Advance, until recently. Being a big Rayman fan, I decided to pick it up as I have all the other games in the series for the system. What surprises me about the third installment is Developer Digital Eclipse's decision to bring the series into a more 3-D design. Much like the Spyro games that Digital Eclipse made for the GBA(which are my most favorite games for the system), Rayman has been brought into a more isometric environment. This time, a completely original experience that's meant as an official sequel to Rayman 2 or Rayman DS(if you have that version). This one picks up right after the end of that story and sets the limbless hero on another quest to save his gigantic frog-like friend Globox. This time, though, players will be able to control both Rayman and Globox in different situations, and each character has a distinctly different style of gameplay in the same environment even though they're separated. br /br /While Hoodlum's Revenge is a challenging platformer and is a worthy addition to the series' Gameboy Advance library; there are several things that bring down the game. First and foremost, having Rayman in an isometric environment. Though the game fits well in this environment, it feels too much like the Spyro games. You'll recognize the exact same token and gem collection like in those games, as well as other gameplay mechanics. Second, Whereas the Spyro games had minigames and challenges that added variety to those games, Rayman severely lacks in this area. Basically, the only 'variety' you get in the game is the two distinctly different styles of gameplay with Globox and Rayman. Thirdly, the environments look way too much like those in Spyro than those in the other Rayman games to give it that distinct Rayman 'feel'. The only difference is that there are characters that exist in the Rayman games there instead of those of the Spyro type. I will, however, give props to Digital Eclipse for following the style of a Rayman game in presentation. It definitely hits the mark there. br /br /Sadly, out of all the Rayman games released for the Gameboy Advance, this is the least liked one for me. You'd think, since the Spyro games for the system were my favorites, I'd be eating this game up...but it doesn't measure up to those games. Don't get me wrong, Hoodlums Revenge is not an awful game. It's quite a challenging game, much like those Spyro games, which means it'll take awhile to beat. It's also a beautiful game, graphically. It's just something about it doesn't click with me. Because of that alone, that is why I rated this game 4 stars instead of 5. br / br /If you can get past that 'me too' feel of the game and the three things that spoil some of that Rayman fun, Hoodlums Revenge is a challenging platformer that is worth the time.
