First look: Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc

Ubi Soft has today released the first information on the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. The game will see the limbless hero coming up against some of his most deadly enemies yet, but he will be well equipped for the job thanks to a number of new moves and powers, including the body shot and the double fist.

"Rayman 3 carries on the tradition of groundbreaking and inventive gameplay created by the Rayman team," said Christine Burgess-Quemard, managing director of international production at Ubi Soft Entertainment. "It is a testament to the skills of this team that Rayman has become such a successful franchise, and the technological leap forward that Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc makes delivers a mix of challenge and fantasy that will not disappoint fans."

The single-player adventure will consist of more than 50 different levels, while six additional maps will be available for multiplayer games for up to four people. Ubi Soft has also revealed that players with a copy of the GameCube version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc will be able to link the two games and download 11 additional maps.

Both the GameCube and GBA versions of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc are currently scheduled for release in March 2003. We'll bring you more information on the games as it becomes available.
