Keyboards are a liability in everything but strategy games, or anything with lots of hotkeys.
However, I think mice are pretty great, so I tend to end up using one anyway. There are alternatives; blocks of plastic with knobs and buttons that sit under your left hand, but I've never heard anything good about them.

I had no problems with the end of the game, and really, if you actually use all of the skills that you acquired throughout the game, The Meat Circus is a lot easier. You just don't absolutely have to use those powers to get through it.

No, I mean the
end end.
The final boss that's just hammering the "punch" button alternated with running in circles.
It wouldn't seem like such a bum note if it weren't for the previous forms of that boss being so well thought-out, making necessary use of almost every power you've collected, like all the actors in a play taking a bow. It wraps up the game nicely... and then
that happens.
I also think it's fair to say that exploring Whispering Rock is one of the most enjoyable elements of the game, and in an ideal world they would've let you wander around again for tea and epilogue after you completed Meat Circus.
And this isn't a fault, but it would've been really great if there'd been some kind of climactic assault on the camp that required you to exercise your accumulated knowledge of shortcuts and platforms to get around fast enough. But that would've been a different game, really.

I'll try to give Rayman 3 a try at some point, but I hardly ever play games anymore, and I doubt I own anything that I could actually play that game on.

Fair enough on the former,
doubtful on the latter.
Failing that, let's see how this Steam Box PC thing turns out; It's on GOG.com
(like Steam, better service but with fewer games). Or I could send you the discs in the post.
