    The game is far from perfect, but it fills a niche for those wanting a fun and funny 2-D platformer on the DS. [Apr 2007, p.85]

    It doesn't do anything so spectacularly well that you must own a copy. [June 2007, p.96]

    A fun and energetic game that works well as a platformer, but horribly as a showcase. The game controls well, but has many graphical problems.

    With rabbids like this who needs enemies? Solid but very average platformer starring a fairly unresponsive hero. Still, the music's quite cheerful when it's not driving you mental.

    What saves this product is the gameplay. Sure, there are some silly touch screen intermissions, but there's a solid game hidden amongst the ugliness, from the fun traditional platforming elements to the original Yoshi's Touch 'n Go inspired touch-screen challenges.

    A hackneyed title with a series of touch screen controls tacked-on. It feels like there's only one thing left to say: better luck next time, Rayman.

    The presentation is great and there's lots packed in, but the core platforming of Rayman Raving Rabbids is unfulfilling.

    The biggest let-down? Easily the graphics, which are full of chunky shapes and primitive, basic textures and colors that wouldn’t look out of place on the original PlayStation.

    There's a functional, if utterly unremarkable, platformer to be found in Raving Rabbids on the DS.

    Better than Assassin's Creed Unity and For Honor, at least this game actually works. Rayman Raving Rabbids, while different from it's consoleBetter than Assassin's Creed Unity and For Honor, at least this game actually works. Rayman Raving Rabbids, while different from it's console counterparts, is a very fun and challenging platformer, offering many exciting abilities and fun gameplay. Music is also very well produced, consisting of Rabbids covers of popular tracks that some people have probably heard. Check this game out if you want, even though it's been long forgotten by this point. Easily a hidden gem in my books.… Full Review »

While it may not quite be able to match the console and PC counterparts, it is still an incredibly fun game in it's own right. The platforming is simplistic and the graphics are pretty underwhelming, but the joyful music, varied gameplay mechanics that spice up the platforming and intteresting puzzles make for one of the most underrated gems I have ever played. Please pick this beauty up for the DS, you won't regret it!… Full Review »

    This is a depressingly generic platformer that provides no compelling reason to play past the first level. There is at least one This is a depressingly generic platformer that provides no compelling reason to play past the first level. There is at least one between-level mini game whose sole purpose is to fill time; I had more fun doing my taxes. The single bright note: the soundtrack is actually pretty good but this is by no means a saving grace. Stay away.… Full Review »
