Rayman 3D

You're kidding me, another Rayman 2 port? I guess Ubisoft will never stop milking a game some call one of the "greatest games of all time". Despite my little rant, I think Rayman 3D is a great game for people who haven't played any version of Rayman 2. But if you have, I would not suggest this title due to it being a rather poor port because of framerate issues and a somewhat bad use of 3D.

One of the things I like about Rayman 3D is the gameplay is never too challenging, but never too easy. For example, the levels aren't extremely hard for kids, yet the game still provides challenge for the more experienced gamers.

There are quite a few features that I wish were in the game. One of them is the lack of touchscreen use. The lack of touchscreen use is evidence that Ubisoft had a quick cash-in planned (I actually think they have that in mind for every game). Also, I think StreetPass should have been used. You could exchange the amount of lums you have with people, so you could see how far others are in their game.

The graphics for Rayman 3D are pretty similar to the original's graphics, but I have 2 major complaints. The 3D is useless and bad looking, and there are framerate drops when you are playing in 3D. So what I have to say is "Thank god Nintendo made 3D optional". Otherwise, no complaints here.

I honestly do not like the music for Rayman 3D. I rarely have the sound off, and when I do, it's on for a very short period of time. So if you have an iPod or an MP3 player, listen to it while playing this game. If only Nintendo enabled the 3DS to play music while playing games.... Sorry for going off-topic.

The controls are pretty similar to those of other platformers. A is jump, Y is shoot, Circle Pad is move, blah blah blah.

Sound: I usually don't have it on: 5/10

Controls: Similar to those of other platformers: 9/10

Lasting Appeal: With 20 worlds, the game will last for a decent amount of time: 8.5/10

Graphics: Framerate issues while playing in 3D plague this game: 5/10

Random Category: Bugs! Yep, lums are bugs. Pass

Overall: 8/10

Super Monkey Ball 3D (3DS) Review

What is better than rolling a suffocating monkey to a goal? Let's just say a few of the other of the 3DS Launch Titles. Super Monkey Ball 3D is fun, but the easy gameplay and boring minigames are what make me like other 3DS launch titles better.

Pilotwings Resort (3DS) - Another Review

When the Nintendo 64 was released in 1996, one of the system’s launch titles was Pilotwings 64. Fifteen years later, the Nintendo 3DS is released along with Pilotwings Resort. So how does this flight simulator sequel score as one of Nintendo’s launch games for the 3DS?

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition (THE REVIEW)

SUPER STREET FIGHT IV 3D Edition (THE REVIEW)

by Andrew "Chowder" Velasco

Ah, it has been a long time since a new Street Fighter has made an appearance on a Nintendo Console. Whether you're new to this franchise, or a hardcore pro this title offers a little something for everyone. This game has got to be one of, if not the best title released on the 3DS..... so far.

Pilotwings Resort (3DS) Review - A Short Flight To The Moon (Metaphorically)

Pilotwings Resort is one of my favourite launch games (if not my favourite) for the 3DS. True, it may not be one of the longest games, and there isn't much variation in the gameplay itself, but the first 10 hours are great - and trying to hurt your jetpacking mii in the funniest way possible never gets old!
