Product Description:
Rayman Raving Rabbids brings you back to the world of Rayman, just as it's being threatened by demonic rabbits! With the help of magical creatures, Rayman must battle to save his world from the bunnies. It's a great way for Rayman to punch his way onto a next-gen platforms!

Amazon.com:


Rayman Raving Rabbids is the edgiest and most off-the-wall gaming experience in the history of the Rayman franchise. This new Rayman game features the funniest, zaniest, wackiest antics ever when hordes of nasty bunnies invade Rayman's world. They enslave him, forcing Rayman to participate in a series of gladiator-like trials. In order to win his freedom, Rayman must entertain and outwit these crazed, out-of-control bunnies.

Welcome to a new generation of Rayman
You'd be hard-pressed to find a game with as much character as Rayman Raving Rabbids. From the creative minigames to the quirks of the bunnies, this game packs an immense amount of entertainment on one disc. It's rare in games that failing during a competition can bring you as much joy as actually succeeding, but Rayman Raving Rabbids does an admirable job of rewarding your failure with a large dose of comic screams, flying plungers and crossed eyes.



Of course, the point is to succeed and not let the bunnies laugh at your failure. Rayman Raving Rabbids may have a lot of style but it has very little plot. Each level consists of four minigame challenges and one "boss battle," so to speak. If you complete at least three of the minigames, the main gate opens, allowing you to take on a greater challenge. Once you play a minigame in the Story Mode, you unlock that minigame and can play it at any time and against friends.



Exercise your Wii Remote
Hand it to Ubisoft's development crew as they really took advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers' capabilities. Some minigames are as simple as twirling the Wii Remote like a lasso and pushing a button to launch a cow as if you were in a hammer throw competition. Some minigames really test your coordinating, asking you to swing the Nunchuk like a jump rope and flicking the Wii Remote up to make Rayman jump.



Each level has one consistant challege, however: a rhythm game. As a song plays, the bunnies approach a spot on either stage left or right. When they hit that spot, you'll shake the Nunchuk (if the bunny is on the left) or the Wii Remote when the rabbid hits the mark.



When you take on the boss stages, you'll find yourself, more often than not, playing a rail shooter. The Wii Remote becomes your light gun, firing plungers at the horde of oncoming rodents. When your plunger supply runs out, shake the Nunchuk to reload. In recent years, the rail shooter (where you don't control the movement) has been forsaken for the first-person shooter and free movement. The Rayman boss experience will make rail shooter fans rejoice. If other shooters can perform as well as the plunger-fueled firing action of Rayman Raving Rabbids, the genre will come back with a vengeance.



Impressive replay value
There's extra incentive to play the many minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids. When you complete a game in Challenge Mode, the game gives you a code that you can enter at the Rayman Web site which basically gives you access to special features on the site.



The minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids skew toward a younger audience, and at first, an above-average gamer should find the games to be pretty easy. However, once the minigames are unlocked, a big challenge awaits you to get the highest scores and blast your friends in multiplayer challenges. That's when the real party begins! Rayman delivers exactly what the Wii promises: fun and lots of it. Here's hoping the bunnies come back for multiple invasions!

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Rayman... get out of the hole!!!
The mini-games in RRR are SOOOO funny; you can never get tired of them... but if you are getting the game just for the storymode you may want to reconsider: It took me a whopping three days to complete it. But hey, like i said, the mini-games RULE. They are SOOOOO much fun and give you a good work-out. But it is dissapointing that the plot is so skimpy. If you watched the trailer with the kids sitting on the couch, this game is nothing like it shows on there!!! But overall, it is a pretty awesome game.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Game
I picked this game up for $20, and it was definitely worth it. My girlfriend and I have a great time with it. The mini-games are a lot of fun, and very addicting. Warning: You'll find yourself getting very annoyed on the toilet seat games.

Some games do get tedious though: There are these dancing ones almost every day of the game, which get kind of annoying. And the plunger shooting games are too long, but fun otherwise.

The only other complaint I'd say I have is that you have to play single player to even unlock games for multiplayer. Not much of a problem, because you can always switch off with eachother, but everybody loves the competition aspect of it.

Those three things aside, this is a great game for the Wii.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Just plain good fun
I never play video games...and I mean Never. I am terrible at them and always just watch my husband play them, because I have no patience for them. This game though....has me captured. We just got this game yesterday and me and my husband were playing it for hours. I love this game. There are some really easy challenges (good for kids or really bad video game players like myself) and then some very challenging ones (good for all). I can't wait to buy the second one...and we're not even done with this one. The game gives you such variety that it keeps you interested AND those bunnies are freakin' hilarious!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Raving Fun
Rayman Raving Rabbids
This game is pure nonsense and I love it! It's silly, entertaining, and adictive. Where else do you get to shoot plungers at strangly dressed rabbids? And who wouldn't love to zap ANYTHING that's disco dancing? Twirling poor Daisey around and around and around is one heck of a cardio workout, too. Now that the price has dropped below $[...], I'd recommend this as a "must-own" game.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Solid Game!!!!
After reading alot of reviews on Rayman Raving Rabbids I decided to try it out. Excellent game! Challenging gameplay that keeps you coming back again and again if you do not succeed. The depth of this game was also very surprising, it was tough to beat the story mode in a day. The score mode also gives you something to look forward to when you complete the story mode. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars because the game does get quite repetitive at times but other than that this game is excellent for any age. The humor of the game surprised me as well. All in all this game is a definite buy for the Wii. Get it!!!!!!
