Rayman 3 HD Review

There was a time when Rayman was Ubisoft’s top franchise, and was thus heavily relied upon. A high-end marketing budget was poured into each new release in the franchise, with a lot of hype generated around new releases as a result. The gaming industry has seemingly moved on from many of the big name platformers, with only the likes of Mario and Sonic surviving. Rayman has proved to be an exception to that rule following the release of Rayman Origins last November though. It was a game that was up against all the odds, and, despite a slow start to sales, Rayman Origins has ended up as a real earner for publisher Ubisoft following widespread critical acclaim from publications across the world. It’s because of that success that a high-definition re-make of Rayman’s third major outing has been made. And upon re-visiting the game in its new graphical glory, the industry should give thanks that it did.
