    Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time is the best game in the series, and probably the best party game for people familiarized with videogames, as it is more complex than the rest.

    It's a cohesive party experience with a plethora of activities tied together in a fantastic hub world. While there's not a whole lot of depth to it, it does what it does very well.

    Rabbids: Travel in Time is a solid party game, packed with a bunch of good laughs and some original mechanics: however, it's kinda short on minigames and not every one of them is properly polished. Still, it's one of the best entries in the genre.

    The loading issues may plague the experience somewhat, but Raving Rabbids Travel in Time stands out on Wii in a crowded mini-game compilation field. The game works best as a family experience, aiming toward a younger demographic, but boasts some impressive online integration that even the most hardcore gamer will enjoy.

    The Rabbids have established themselves as veritable gaming icons in the casual sphere. Their frenzied faces, catchphrases, and ridiculous adventures may grate on the nerves for some, but for a formidable collection of simple-to-learn and difficult to mater mini-games, you could do a lot worse.

    It's not the best party game and it hasn't the deeper and inspired minigames in the Rabbids series, but it's still funny, mainly for fans.

    Raving Rabbids Travel in Time is another solid mini-game compilation offering funny flights of four-player fancy. Single-player is lacking and multiplayer is hampered by unnecessary toilet roll tethering, but get some agreeable people in the same room and this game can be fun for all the family.

    Ultimately if you are looking for a mini-game to entertain the kids or provide a distraction over the festive period, Travel in Time is a worthy candidate. Attractively priced, this makes up for its shortcomings and what might have been.

    Rabbids games are built to fit one quality and one quality only: funny.

    Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time is just another Rabbids mini-game collection, so don't expect an adventure game like Rabbids Go Home.

    Raving Rabbids Travel in Time is like a shirt with some wrinkles in it. It looks good to the common man but the more experienced eye shall see its flaws. Still the game offers hours of fun for you and your friends.

    Travel in Time is another silly, idiot… but very funny compilation of mini-games starring the craziest rabbits on Earth. If you liked the previous entries, this will takes you to another level of stupidity!

    The manic rabbids are at it again, providing a solid helping of simplistic, good-natured fun.

    It's always been more fun playing with friends than spending time alone with the rabbids – diluting their shouty impact makes them a little more palatable – that seems to be underlined with this collection.

    Raving Rabbids Travel in Time lacks in innovation and variety and it's mainly supported by Rabbid's charisma.

    No matter how many minigame collections Ubisoft cranks out, Rabbids will still remain charming and enduringly funny. [Issue#104, p.127]

    The greatest folly of the Rabbids comes with online modes and play with Wii MotionPlus. However, this quest to change the past does not change the most important thing: gameplay we've seen many times and it starts to fade.

    It's funny and has some new things like multiplayer, but it's lacking where it should excel: in the minigame designs.

    The Rabbids are engagingly repulsive as ever but the games fall flat. [Feb 2011, p.83]

    Travel In Time doesn't so much scrape the barrel as suck dirt from the barrel with a bendy straw. There are almost no ideas and, as a result, almost no fun.

    For a kids' game, Travel In Time is horrible at guiding the player. It's all over the place.

    A return to the mini-game collection formula proves predictability disappointing, with slightly more complex games but even less variety.

    Despite the promise of renewed fun through this time travel idea, Raving Rabbids : Travel in Time doesn't offer anything new compared to the previous ones. It's slow, there's but a few mini-games really fun, and in the end, it's more boring than not.

    Raving Rabids: Dogfight simulator. The game is alright, but the dogfights you can do in the airplane area are a ton of fun with a friend.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Raving Rabbids 4, what an uncomfortable game. I dare say it’s one of the worst party games on the Wii. It’s sad to say that such a simple and wacky series has devolved into such an ugly experience. This time you control a group of Rabbids to wreak havoc throughout the timeline…without Rayman. It was bad enough that he wasn’t playable in the TV Party, but now he’s not even in the game. It’s a shame, because I would be more than happy to see blast the hell out of those damn rabbits like in Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 and 2. At least I can grasp a sense of identity with costumes again. I'm glad that feature wasn’t limited to a single mini game like in TV party. But looks aren’t everything and I’ll get to that in a moment. This time we have a hub world to explore before activating the mini games. It has a nice ambient sound track, it gives me some “Night at the Museum '' vibes, and it’s full of fun objects to interact with for quick laughs. To this day I still love that dinosaur fish who sings “YMCA”. There’s one tiny problem with multiplayer though…ITS OUTRIGHT ATROCIOUS. Instead of having one player being in control of the mini game selection or having the ability for players to take turns after each round…they're all chained together by a thing of toilet paper. Run all at once in opposite directions and the lack of order creates a bunch pissed kids about to unload some temper tantrums. Seriously, this game was designed for bratty kids. Every control hint tells you the opposite of what you're supposed to do. Things don’t get better when the game restricts you from playing most of the mini games until you’ve completed all the tutorials and first levels. Bad call, if I’m having a fun time with the Bouncing mini games, why can’t I keep playing more of the Bouncing mini games? This time, mini games are separated into different control styles in different museum halls. The following includes, Running, Bouncing, Shooter, god-awful Flying, and the optional Fishing games with Wii motion plus. I fairly enjoyed the Running, Bouncing, and Shooting. Even with a half-broken disk they’re pretty fun and have good control. The pyramid mini game has you pick up blocks from running Rabbids and cut off your opponents. It’s probably my favorite one in the game right next to the Titanic maze runner. The cartoon art style, while I prefer the blend between live action and cartoons like in Rabbids 2…it still gives me a chuckle here and there seeing all of the wacky stuff the Rabbids brought with them during their temporal quest. Sadly, the bad parts outweigh the good in this game. The Flying mini games are a strong example of that. I swear, the motion control physics are so bad…that I now have a thirst for Rabbid blood. In each flying game, you control the wings placed on your Rabbid with the Wiimote and nunchuck…SEPARATELY. You have to so freaking precise with the position of your controllers that it makes your arms sore. Instead of feeling free flying through the air, it instead feels like I’m in a ballet cult constantly jerking and turning an uncomfortable position while trying to stay in the center. The battle mini games are just acceptable while the races are freaking impossible. The AI is incredibly difficult and you’ll have to rely on simple luck in order to catch up. Even the reading area is uncomfortable. It looks pretty with all of the stars, but it's crowded with all of these massive planets in the way. And the Fishing mini games, the less said the better. I still managed to beat them, but thank goodness that they’re not required for game completion. It’s control isn’t as bad as the Flying games, but it still feels awkward to have to constantly recollect your Rabbid with the Wiimote. In order to obtain completion you need to clear all of the mini games excluding the Fishing games, the choir games, the insult to intelligence quizzes, and the half asked Just Dance games. But in order to clear them like Rabbid you need always choose to be on the purple team in order to completely change history. Purple=Progress. So if you’ve already beaten the mini games with an orange ending, tough luck. Do it again! It’s easier to clear them with multiplayer, but I decided to test my mettle and play things solo instead. In the ending you head to the future and accidentally destroy all of the evil Rabbid’s time machines and save the day…I guess? Honestly I rather pelt some more Rabbids with plungers than play as them after playing this collection of junk. These Rabbid games may not be great, but they can be entertaining as long as the game gives you a sense of freedom. In Raving Rabbids 2 there were even hilarious ways to lose mini games. But here, the smallest blockade can make someone rage quit the game. Players will feel confined instead of feeling released. Like a bad Nickelodeon cartoon, this game is just obnoxious to play through. It's a mindless experience.… Full Review »
