Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
A 2003 platformer that trades Rayman 2's exploration for linear action and power-up weapons, charming but uneven, best played if you remember the Dreamcast era fondly.
GamerScout Verdict
Solid weekend nostalgia play if you loved early Ubisoft platformers; skip it if you want Rayman at his best.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
I went in expecting more of the floaty platforming magic from Rayman 2, but Hoodlum Havoc pivots hard toward combat. You're collecting André's power-ups (Heavy Fist, Missile Launcher, etc.) to solve puzzles and bash enemies through bite-sized levels. It works fine in short bursts, and the art direction is crisp for 2003, the Hoodlum crew are genuinely charming villains. The problem is pacing. Levels feel disconnected, the camera can be finicky, and once you've seen the power-up loop twice, novelty evaporates. There's no real reason to replay it. If you're hunting retro platformers and nostalgia for early 2000s Ubisoft production, it's worth a weekend. Everyone else should stick with Rayman 2.
