Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is a 2003 platform game developed and published by Ubisoft, and the third major installment in the Rayman series. It tells the story of how Rayman stops André, an evil black lum, from taking over the world with his army of sack-like "Hoodlum" soldiers. Unlike the game's predecessor Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Rayman 3 took a more light-hearted turn, utilizing sarcastic self-referential undertones while also poking fun at the platforming video game genre. It was released for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows, and on OS X by Feral Interactive in 2004. 2D versions of the game were developed for the Game Boy Advance, N-Gage and mobile phones since the beta version and the prototype versions were made in 2002.
