![]() ![]() Similarly, the running game basically forces you to spazz the hell out - funny for the person watching you, but besides that, it feels like a chore. The game where you slap doors shut gets old in about thirty seconds, and it took me forever to get through it. ![]() My problem with the game is that some mini-games are, straight up, not that fun. The fun mini-games would be fun if I was playing it alone (although they're considerably more fun in a group). My problem with the game isn't that the single-player game is lacking. That's how I played it, ShyGuy, and it works just fine. The single-player game is little more than an excuse to force you to play all of the mini-games so you can unlock them for multiplayer and high score modes. Rayman: Raving Rabbids is a lot of fun with a group of friends, but only after you've put the time in to unlock all the mini-games, or if you have an SD card and access to the Internet to download a completed save file. Watching these shooting levels is often as fun as playing them, as you'll catch the Rabbids at their most hilarious. A grabber-chain can also be launched with the Z button on the nunchuck, and pressed again to throw out whatever has been grabbed (including Rabbids). The Wii remote's pointer is used to aim your cross-hair, and the B-button fires, while a quick shake of the nunchuck reloads. While easy, they're also a good deal of fun. The shooting games are done in the style of those old light-gun arcade shooting games, such as Area 51, and include a lot of tongue-in-cheek references to that style of games. Plus, watching the Rabbids dance in the background is indeed hilarious. These games start out very easy but eventually work their way up to a decent level of challenge. When they hit the front of the stage, the player must shake either the nunchuck or Wii remote, depending on whether the Rabbid is on the left or right of the screen. The dancing games are based on a simple rhythm-based mechanic, in which Rabbids move to the front of a stage on either the left or the right. They are they shooting games and the dancing games. Two specific types of games require a special mention. Games are divided into multiple categories, and within each category they are displayed as a picture, so there is no quick and easy way to find a specific game. ![]() Also, the interface for selecting mini-games is terribly confusing. However, It would be nice if there was an option to only display these games. This is really nice considering that Wii owners with a single controller won't be left in the dark for multiplayer. For the multiplayer mode, some games have all the players playing the game simultaneously, while others require players to take turns. Before playing a mini-game, a Mario Party-style explanation screen will explain what you will be doing, along with an animation of a Rabbid playing the game, which actually helps quite a lot in figuring out exactly how you'll be using the Wii remote and Nunchuck. There's no need for more than one mini-game like this, as they all bring the same thing to the table.įor the most part, the games control fine, as they should considering how simple they are. In the case of some games, like the whole series of rhythm-based games (each with its own song), it's fine, but in other games you might only be shaking the controller like mad. A few games repeat the same control mechanisms as other games. These mini-games will have you doing the weirdest things you could imagine, including: pulling worms from teeth, throwing cows like a shot-put, slamming urinal doors, and shooting Rabbids dressed as Superman with your plunger-gun, just to name a few. If you haven't already seen Ubi Soft's series of viral videos, be sure to check them out for a taste of how incredibly whacky this game truly is. If there's one thing that sticks out about Raving Rabbids, it's the Rabbids themselves. They've kidnapped our hero and thrown him into an arena, forcing him to compete in crazy events for their own entertainment. Rayman's world has been invaded by a gang of crazy rabbit-like creatures called Rabbids. This mode is strung together on the thinnest of premises. The game packs a ton of zany mini-games onto the disc, and most of them are a lot of fun, once you unlock them in the single-player mode. That's the problem with Rayman: Raving Rabbids. However, imagine getting everything set up and ready to play, only to find that you can only play a paltry amount of mini-games, with the rest locked away and unplayable. With enough controllers and friends, and maybe a little alcohol (of course, only if you're of age), they can be an absolute blast.
