Hoodlum Rayman

[Melvina Kryder]

Rayman3: Hoodlum Havoc is a 2003 platform game developed and published by Ubi Soft, and the third major installment in the Rayman series. It follows Rayman in his quest to stop an evil Black Lum named Andr from taking over the world with his army of hoodlum soldiers, while trying to find a cure for his best friend Globox after he accidentally swallows Andr. It was released for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows, and on OS X by Feral Interactive in 2004. It was also released for the Game Boy Advance, N-Gage and mobile phones as a 2D platformer.

Rayman's controls are similar to that of Rayman 2: The Great Escape, albeit utilising long-ranged punches (and kicks at some opportunities), instead of throwing Energy Spheres. Rayman can restore health by picking up Red Lums. Instead of permanent upgrades to his abilities, Rayman can find special "Laser Detergent" cans (used by the Hoodlums to turn their clothes into combat fatigues) containing one of five temporary power-ups. The Vortex allows Rayman to fire mini-tornadoes instead of punching, the Heavy Metal Fist increases Rayman's strength and allows him to break down certain doors, the Lockjaw gives Rayman extendable claw weapons that can be used to latch onto and electrocute enemies or swing across gaps, the Shock Rocket allows Rayman to fire a remote controlled missile, and the Throttle Copter provides Rayman with a special helmet that allows him to fly vertically for a limited time. After a certain point in the game, Rayman gains the ability to pull a face similar to the original game, which allows him to turn Black Lums left behind from defeating Hoodlums into Red Lums.

Unlike most entries, Rayman 3 features a scoring system that tallies points based on Rayman's actions. Whenever points are scored, this system switches to a "Combo mode" that adds even more points acquired from Rayman's actions, though if the player's scoring stops after a few seconds, the Combo mode ends as well. If using a power-up acquired from a Laser Detergent, points earned are doubled. Points earned can unlock hidden content and, in some levels, allow access to hidden areas. Players could enter their final overall game scores onto the RaymanZone website.

Andr who was supposedly to have grown out of pure evil appears and transforms Red Lums into Black Lums to join him. The group eventually gains enough hair from various animals throughout the forest to dress themselves as scarecrow-like Hoodlums. In the middle of the process, Murfy, one of the residents and workers of the Fairy Council, discovers them. Andr later finds him hiding nearby, and he and his Black Lums pursue him. Murfy is chased to a small clearing, where Rayman and his friend Globox are sound asleep. Just after Murfy reaches them, Globox is awakened by the commotion. Now aware of the situation, Globox helps Murfy to try and get Rayman, who is still asleep, to safety. In the process, Globox accidentally removes Rayman's hands, forcing Murfy to pick Rayman up by his hair and fly him away from the clearing himself. In an attempt to save himself, Globox runs away to safety, taking Rayman's hands along with him.

As time passes, more Hoodlums invade the forest. After Rayman wakes up, he and Murfy reach the entrance to the Council and discover Globox hiding in a barrel. Just as Rayman gets his hands back from Globox, Andr and a few of his minions appear, following Globox as he flees into the Council. As Rayman and Murfy pursue them, they learn of Andr's evil plan: to taint the heart of the world so that he can create an army of Hoodlums. Eventually, Andr catches up with Globox, who ends up accidentally swallowing the evil creature. Afterwards, Rayman attempts to seek out a doctor that can rid Andr from Globox's insides and Murfy departs from the team, warning Rayman the Black Lum may force Globox to drink plum juice, in spite of the latter's allergy to it. Rayman meets up with three doctors: Otto Psi (a play on the word autopsy), Romeo Patti (homeopathy), and Art Rytus (arthritis). After all three doctors make independent attempts at purging Andr by using various parts of Globox's body as musical instruments, they succeed in getting rid of him after collaborating in Art Rytus' clinic room. Refusing to admit defeat, Andr teams up with Reflux, a member of the Knaaren race that Rayman had previously defeated.

As a counterpart to the 3D PC and console versions of the game, the Game Boy Advance and N-Gage versions of the game were 2D sidescrolling platformers, controlling similarly to the original Rayman game and it has bunch of content and characters taken from Rayman 2: The Great Escape which it was initially planned to be based on during early in development.

The GameCube version of the game features exclusive content compared to the other releases of the game, which include several minigames. Additional content could be unlocked by connecting the Game Boy Advance version of the game to it.

A high definition version of Rayman 3, titled Rayman 3 HD, was announced by Ubisoft in November 2011 and was released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in March 2012, nine years after the original version. The game runs at 60 frames per second, in up to 720p. This version includes the original game content, and features newly introduced leaderboards and Trophies/Achievements. However, it lacks the original intro which featured the Groove Armada song "Madder", and also lacks the "Wanna Kick Rayman" bonus videos, which are replaced with the pages from the art book that came with the collector's edition of Rayman Origins. This game also has a different ESRB rating than its non-HD counterpart, which is E for Everyone, whereas the HD version is rated E10+.

Review aggregator websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the Game Boy Advance version 82% and 83/100,[10][16] the PlayStation 2 version 80% and 76/100,[12][18] the PC version 78% and 74/100,[13][20] the GameCube version 78% and 77/100,[14][17] the Xbox version 77% and 75/100,[15][19] the Xbox 360 version 69/100,[22] and the PlayStation 3 version 72/100.[21]

i was at cex to buy some ps2 games, while i was walking into the shop, i got some games like, the simpsons hit and run, mortal kombat deadly alliance, crash twinsanity, star wars battlefront 2, and i was at the last one that is... Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

when i was looking at the cover of this game, but the game was rated m and it have THX Certified Game, i was shocked to see a rayman game having a rated m and i think the THX Certified Game will have tex killing rayman in it.

So I took the GAMES HOME AND I PLAY THESE GAMES, AFTER THAT, I WAS GOING TO PLAY Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, I inserted the game into my ps2. i was hoping for no blood in RAYMAN'S GAME, I BEAT THE The Fairy Council OF THE GAME AND I WAS AT THE Clearleaf Forest, I SAW THE HOODLUM AND I pressed the square button to hit an enemie, the good news that there was no blood on a enemie for this game.

the whole game was seen normal and the Boss fights are seen normal as well, after fighting the final boss of this game, it showed a cutscene, all of the Black Lums turning back into Red Lums. Shortly thereafter, Rayman and Globox return to the clearing that they were in before, rayman says.

What i saw in This Cutscene is a Lot a Dead Teensies That Made Rayman and Globox Screamed in Horror as Tex was laughing evilly, Rayman says "Why did you do That Tex! You Just Killed The Teensies! i had to Fight You and save The World!"

While The Screen Cuts To Black, it Showed a Loading Screen and it cut to The Game, The Gameplay is Now Ready and i am Fighting a New Boss is Tex, He His Holding His Chainsaw While Flying around, His first attack was The Chainsaw, i had to Dodge The Attack by Jumping, and for His 2nd attack was The Moo Can, He Pulls out His Moo Can That He made a portal to a fiery place, i had to Run away from it to Not Get Killed, i Had to pressed square to Punch The Moo Can off Him, and for His Last one is Summon Hoodlums, He Summoned The Hoodlums with His Moo Can so i can Fight Them all Easy.

after that, Tex Got So Angry and Pulls out Two Chainsaws That Made it Hard, His New Fighting Move, He Would Spin around with Two Chainsaws, i had to avoid getting attacked by Tex, after That, Tex was getting dizzy and the Heavy Metal Fist Can appears, i Run To it and increases Rayman's strength and it allows Rayman to Attack Tex.

He Runs to Globox's Dead Body and then falls to His knees, picks up His dead Best Friend and started crying softly with Sad Music Playing in The Background, i was Surprised to see Rayman Crying for The 1st Time.
