Rayman: Raving Rabbids - Nintendo Wii

This game is a ton of fun when you first get it - the minigames are creative and use the Wii Remote well. After a while, though, when you've played all the games over and over, it kind of leaves you wishing there were more. The other problem is that most of the multiplayer just consists of taking turns playing the minigames, and there are not very many that are true multiplayer.

My wife absolutely loves this game! As well as myself of course. This game is extremely addictive, fun and hilarious as heck. Even if you are an adult of many years, this game has funny characteristics that will bust yoru bladder! The only drawback with this game is the multiplayer games cannot be acessed until you reach or defeat the particular game in story mode. However don't let it dissuade you, this game is my personal favorite on the Wii and single-handedly made 2 of my other friends buy Wii's.

this is a great game. the graphics are good. as good as it gets on the wii. the gameplay is used in unique ways with the wii remote and the nun-chuck. sometimes you use it as a gun, other times you use it to make rayman dance in the game with certain rythums movements. the game is made up of tons of mini games for your pleasure. it is quite fun to play. but some problems is that some levels are repeated over and over again, making not much variety to the game. for example the dance sequence, you play it in every level of the game. also the length of the game can be beaten in around 5 hours, not leaving much more to do in this game. but still when the game is played with two or more players, it gets kind of fun and replayable. I recommend this game for anyone who looks for a game they can just pick up and play. it will keep you entertained for awhile, until you've played the mini game to the point of bordum.

Raving Rabbids is a hilarious collection of mini-games that will keep you and friends entertained for many hours. The games are wacky, and the Rabbids themselves really steal the show with their ridiculous stunts and antics. The motion controls for almost all of the games work very well, and while the graphics aren't photo-realistic they're still very well done thanks to the art direction and cartoony nature of the game. My one complaint is that almost none of the games allow 2 players to play simultaneously, instead you have to take turns and play hot seat style. This one omission keeps Raving Rabbids from being the party game it could have been, but it is still most fun with a friend or two next to you laughing at the crazy things that are garunteed to happen as you play.

This is the first Rayman game I have ever played. Not knowing what to expect, this game holds its place by its various and interesting mini-games that are presented right at the start. First off, there's no plot at all. You are having a picnic with some of your blue little friends, when suddenly these bunnies capture you and your friends out of nowhere. They then take you to their place, where you provide them with entertainment by playing these mini-games over and over to unlock songs, multiplayer games, and the such. Your ultimate goal is to have as many plungers clung on to the wall as you can (A reward for completing a set of 3-4 mini-games) on the wall to escape the place. Gameplay wise, this game delivers quite a bit of variety for you to work with here. Some exercise your arms out, while others require quick drawing. You may have to rush a present to a baby by madly swinging the Wiimote and Nunchuck up and down to speed up your running, or you have to put the Wiimote to your ear to listen if the pig squeals for a mine that's in front of you, while you move with the stick on the Nunchuck. There are many, many other types of games like this, which branch off to shoot'm ups, workout, dancing, and thinking games. Sound is quite unbearable if you can't stand a bunch of bunnies that continuously make various noises all the time, but for most its actually quite entertaining. The artwork and the way these bunnies act make this game feel very different from other multiplayer games in comparison. Other graphical designs include a decent background, especially on the flying and shoot'm up levels, as well as various objects such as cows, monsters with horns and boars. The songs that come with the dancing game are old-fashioned, but still provide a nice beat with your Wiimote and Nunchuck. Sometimes though, the sensor will malfunction, causing you to accidentally screw up your perfect score on those runs. You can swing through the single player mode fast if you know what to do, as during the middle they mostly recycle the same kind of mini-game, but with a harder and different twist. As you go further into the single player mode, you unlock games for multiplayer, where other people can then join the fun! But most games can require only 1 person to play at a time, which causes the game to drag on for others while they wait their turn. As for unlocking the secret videos they have put in here as well, you have to beat these pre-made scores (That are ridiculously high) in certain mini-games to actually qualify up to 1000 points of credits. So! If you like a fun twist with your usual multiplayer games, and enjoy awesome, weird bunnies at the same time, give this game a go and play with your friends! I can assure you that you guys will laugh at most times at what this game does to everyone!

I would never have thought to get this if I hadn't tried it at a friend's. It's a lot of fun to play. I would get so into it, that even though I was only supposed to be pumping my arms up and down to run, I couldn't help but to run in place, too! As for difficulty, the tracing to make the rabbid eat and the dancing were both really tough for me, for example, but I'm sure I'll get it in time!

This is a great game to really get excited about. It's one of those games that I get SO into while playing that I sometimes forget to blink!! :D haha. Lots of fun [and actually sometimes very challenging] mini games. It's a crazy little game, and I can't wait to buy the sequel.

A friend brought this as a gift for our mid teen boys...hillarious!! We had a 60 plus years old player questioning "but why would I want to chase a rabbit?", the 35-40 ish group cracking up laughing at ourselves & eachother & teens actually enjoyed playing a fairly innocent game that wasn't loaded with guns & gore, that was not rated "T" or higher!! Will probably add the 2nd to our collection for the family Easter basket!
