RAYMAN M

PlayStation 2

The 'M' stands for multiplayer. The new Rayman is pretty much akin to previous incarnations except that you can split the screen up and have four players racing/fighting each other. But this time the characters are all equal in strength and agility.

It's good clean fun, with two different kinds of games: your bog-standard racing and a gem-collecting game where you 'freeze' your opponents in an attempt to beat them to the stones. Lots of characters and courses to choose from, Rayman M should have a decent lifespan on your console and it's perfectly suitable for the youngsters, bless 'em. (NP)

Syphon Filter 3

PlayStation

The gorgeous Gabe Logan and his sexy sidekick Lian Xing return in this action-adventure game featuring new weaponry, including proximity mines and new rifles, with levels based on more than 18 international environments. You assume control of Gabe, Lian, or other operatives depending on the level and gameplay situation.

Aside from single-player, Syphon Filter 3 includes an enhanced two-player mode, in which players can battle head-to-head in Deathmatch levels. The lovely Gabe has definitely improved with age, and it certainly takes an experienced player to bring out his real potential. Know what I mean? (HM)
