Can someone with Insider post the Rayman 3 review?
All I know is that it got an 8.9, which isn't bad IMO. I had no intention of getting I'm just curious to what they said about it. Thank you.

Closing Comments
As a popular game series evolves over the years, it's no doubt bound to lose a few fans here and gain a few more there. Rayman has definitely earned his marks with gamers over the years and boasts a significant fan base to call his own. The anticipation for a worthy sequel has been running high for a long time now, so it may disappoint some gamers to learn that Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is not as quite the perfect platforming title that Rayman 2 embodied so many years before. The levels are now smaller and slightly more puzzle-based, and sadly, the puzzles aren't going to provide a significant challenge to experienced gamers. But that aside, they're still creative, fresh, and fun -- especially the first time around, and possibly a second.
Whether you're a Rayman fan who can't get enough of the limbless wonder, or an action-adventure-platforming gamer who enjoys sarcastic wit, gorgeous graphics, smooth framerates, and creative character abilities, Hoodlum Havoc is for you. Its biggest flaws come in the smaller levels and simplistic puzzles solved via timed character abilities. But the attention to detail and quality alone presents a polished box of software that any self-respecting gamer should be proud to include in their library.
-- Cory D. Lewis
Presentation
A few nice FMV intros -- featuring the much-hyped Groove Armada track -- combined with awesome dynamic voice-overs and real-time cutscenes that really bring the characters and story to life. 9.0
Graphics
Classic Rayman in the ''next-generation.'' Smooth framerates mixed with great color usage, entertaining animations, and brilliant effects. Sweet designs bring this game to life. 9.0
Sound
Great use of DPL II, with effects and voices coming at you from all corners of the room. And the voice-overs -- oh yes! They're a great touch. 9.0
Gameplay
The pure platforming quality has slipped just a bit at the cost of the new timed power-ups and fairly simple puzzles. Still, the new moves are fun, and the action never skips a beat. 8.0
Lasting Appeal
With the need to earn high scores, players should be tempted to give it multiple plays as they collect the hefty supply of bonus mini-games and FMV goodies. 8.0
OVERALL SCORE (not an average) 8.9
