Rayman 3 is cool! (And the PC demo is here...)

[A Black Falcon]

And its like Rayman 2, but with even better graphics (Rayman 2 was a very good looking game, on PC anyway) and better gameplay. And now I can actually play a Rayman game with analog control (thanks to my new gamepad)... it is a lot better than digital... there were some frusterating parts of playing Rayman 2 on a d-pad, I will admit. Analog is nice... and the graphics on PC are even nicer. :) Bottom line? If you like Rayman games you'll like it... I really, really liked Rayman 2, so I'm definitely looking forward to this one. When I get it eventually I'll probably get the PC one because it will be cheaper (PC games don't stay at $50 long unless they are REALLY big, and many start lower than that...) and have the best graphics.

Oh... they've got the demo at Fileplanet ( http://www.fileplanet.com ) . Try it... if you have a good PC. The game needs one... :)

There is only one problem with the demo, really-- you can't change the controls. At least its set up for keyboard and gamepad... but the gamepad controls aren't mentioned in the game. You've got to just guess. Also, the camera control axis (mapped to the mouse) isn't by default on the second analog stick, and you can't change it, so with a gamepad you can't change the camera without using the mouse... I expect the full version will fix this problem, but its here in the demo.
