===Rayman 3, for the Game Boy Adv-- wha? Why?=== | |||
The very first console I ever owned for myself was a silver Game Boy Advance SP, and the very first game I owned for myself was... well, I suppose ''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'' counts (not gonna get all elitist about what counts as a 'tru' videogame), but far more dear to my heart was my copy of the GBA 'port' of ''Rayman 3''. It was a fantastic game then, and remains so under scrutiny today. It's incredible how much love and care was put into what could have so easily been an inferior handheld port. | |||

The artistic quality of the game's assets is incredibly high. Rayman is responsive, navigating around well-designed levels with just the right level of challenge. Rayman's sprite - yes, the sprite that spawned a thousand recolours - is still a thing of beauty, smooth as a baby's bottom and graceful as an early Disney Princess. What's more, it's based mainly on ''Rayman 2'', a far superior game to its '2 kul 4 skul' sequel. Yes, I suppose there are a number of leaps of faith (I'm looking at you, [[Void of Bones]] Phase 2...), and those Go-Kart stages can lick me right where I like it, but what are these mere quibbles compared to what, by all accounts, is the rightful heir to Rayman 2's lofty throne? | |||
