    Not as good as the first one. That's the first that pops to my mind. This one is frankly more PARTY oriented and isn't has fun in single player. I can see how fun it would be playing with many friends, but somewhere, the Rabbids lost their charm. Not a bad game. Just slighty inferior to the first. Most of the mini-games are longuer, the shooting games feels like never ending and Not as good as the first one. That's the first that pops to my mind.

    It's sad to see how far Rayman has fallen, this game wouldn't be so bad, if the Rayman name wasn't tracked on. How long will it take for is to get another solid 3D Rayman adventure?

    Certain aspects of this game weren't as good as the first, but it's overall fun. it's got more customization options for the characters, and the mini games are pretty fun.

    We really enjoyed the original Rayman, but the sequel is even better. It's a really fun party game with the multi-player support.

    ok, after playing the first one (like an addiction) I had to run out and buy this one as soon as possible. I started playin and started realizing....there is no challenge. No pass or fail like the first one....maybe i just didn't give it enough chance. I only played for about a half hour. haven't played since

    One of my favorite party games ever and I usually am not a fan of these kinds of games. I've played it with so many different friends and we've all laughed at the game's sense of humor.

    This game is really good . The graphics are so realistic and clear . The only promblem is that on some games it dosen't clearly tell you the instructions , but you soon become aware of them as the games continues . Me and my family all rate this game a must have.

    RABBIDS!!!1 Best game out right now for sure!! Most of the shoot 'em ups are really boring these days, RPGs take too much time, this one is just right!! Addicting and good for you and your friends when they come over, a really community based game. The graphics are also really amazing, too. Not quite cartoony, not really "CGI" looking but somewhere in between. Go get it!!

    I've been a Rayman fan for some time. When RRR came out I was very disappointed, but RRR2 has been much more delightful. With dozens of mini-games to choose from, highly improved graphics and controls, I'm pretty impressed. There is a little bit more to chew on in terms of plot and the like, as well. An overall good experience. As far as Rayman games, I have to give this one a 9/10!

    I'm sooo impressed by how they made this music and these graphics keep me and my friends engaged for hours. We just sit and giggle about the noises these stupid bunnies make all day. It's a great game, definitely check it out!

    I'm fairly astounded with what they did with this graphics engine. Very clean, smooth graphics. No screen tearing, nothing that ISN'T eye candy. of course, it's just generally a lot of FUN :D but in general you'll be amazed at how good these graphics are.

    Raving Rabbids Two has the best replay value of any party game, mostly because you can unlock so many cool levels and stuff. Most games, like Mario Party, don't have that. so this one is worth checking out if only for that. of course, there's all kinds of other cool stuff going on, good graphics, good music, etc. check it out!

    I never played the first RRR, but I had always heard good things about it. So I picked up this game yesterday and played through about 80% of it. My impression has been mostly positive so far. It doesn't do anything particularly new or exciting with the Wii controls. But it makes up for this lack of innovation with a good sense of humor.

My impression has been mostly positive so far. It doesn't do anything particularly new or exciting with the Wii controls. But it makes up for this lack of innovation with a good sense of humor. Every Wii game is going to have you shaking the controllers up and down to run. Yes, it's been done to death. But RRR2 has you running away from a 30-ton boulder ala "Indiana Jones." It's a shame that IGN gave it such a low score, because I think it sets a bad tone for the game. Personally, I believe the reviewers at IGN are facing a huge holiday rush of games, and it doesn't sound like he got much of a chance to play with other people in the office. They were probably too busy reviewing games of their own. The IGN reviewer seems to base most of his negative comments on the fact that the single-player mode is not fun (no surprises there) and the games do not have inspired controls compared to the first game. I've heard that the first game didn't have nearly as many simultaneous multiplayer minigames - people would mostly play the challenges alone, and everyone else would have to wait their turn. This sequel seems to focus more on 4-player games, so that may be the reason for the simpler controls and games. So take that review with a grain of salt. The minigames are fun. The on-rails shooting levels look nice, but they're too long and they move rather slow. The character customization is interesting, but mostly useless if you ask me. I will say that the graphics are generally good and fit the tone of the game, but they're not great by any means. Not that I care that much, but the Main Menu screens are absolutely terrible. I don't know who came up with that sparse Mall Theme, but the whole thing obviously needed a LOT more work. I would suggest a rental for most people. Others who love party games and have a bunch of friends/family available to play should buy it.… Expand

    As with most sequels this do not live up to the original. The two most popular games from Rabbids, shooting and keeping the beat, are the two main games here but the fun has been taken out and this now feels more like a gamers game. There is not as much variety as I hoped for and just making it able to be played by 4 players does not make it a good game. More fun next time please.

While it's clear that the studio has put more time into the cut scenes, animations and full-video plunger-shooting sections, it seems like they did it at the expense of game play. The mini-games are simply not as much fun as they were in the first game, the wide variety of controls previously used have been thrown out in favour of a small collection of generic gestures and the shooting sections feel slow, unresponsive, and sadly lacking in personality. I think it's clear that the developers were focused on multiplayer so I won't even waste your time by going into detail on how inadequate the single player experience feels. The bottom line is that the only people who should consider buying this game are those who regularly have 3 or 4 people over, have a few drinks and inevitably find themselves playing the first game. Everyone else, just stick with the Rabbid's initial outing.… Expand

There are 50 minigames in this collection from calling a friend while watching a movie to hitting a Rabbid like a baseball. Rabbids 2 has minigames for categories based on real world countries like America, Europe, China, South America, and Hawaii which the minigames are appropriately themed on thankfully. The minigame variety is alot more original than Rabbids 1 since Rabbids 2 has only 2 types of minigames they reuse other than the original's 4 and multiple part minigames but they went more for quantity than quality in this game because a lot of minigames are lacking in terms of depth like Burp, Baseball, Plumber Rabbids, Rolling Stone, Snail Racing and the biggest offender for me is Chess, where you literally "concentrate to score", though some are good but they don't hit as hard as the original. Music minigames are back and have more songs such as Teenager in Love and Funky Town and you instead play the instruments but for some reason they don't feel as fast paced as the original and Rabbids 2 lacks different tempos which means every song plays at the same speed unlike the original where every song had a different tempo. There are also the shooting minigames that are back from Rabbids 1 but the twist is that the Ubisoft team decided to film real life footage of the areas of New York, France, and China but the thing about these minigames is that they havent aged well, you can tell the Rabbid isn't in the footage and slapped a few Rabbids in the background of a video and called it a day, but they are fun and they have new bosses like the Rabbidnator which is a parody of the Terminator and you even get to fight a transformer esque submarine which is better than the original just having meh bosses that repeat and don't really distinguish each other. The problem with Rabbids 2's minigames are that they feel more party oriented and aren't as fun while playing by yourself, which leads us to the topic of multiplayer. Rabbids 2's multiplayer is way more enjoyable than Rabbids 1's because the minigames feel more multiplayer oriented than the original but they still have some minigames and has a Trips mode where you choose a country and go through 6 randomly chose minigames from each respectful country and whoever gets the most points wins. The graphics look mixed to me, the environments look like they're taken straight from a Nintendo 64 game such as the city, the football field, and the china shop. The animations look good but kind of off, especially on Rayman, which uses the Rabbid player's animations which makes him move in a pretty strange way, but the game still uses the outdated Rabbid models from the original but you can tell that the models don't fit the lighting and art styles which isn't good, but the lighting does look good but the fog looks a bit too heavy in some places, but I guess it's fine. The controls work but the Wii mote movements aren't as creative as the original and some control movements are reused so many times throughout the game, but they do work and I've never had big control problems. The lasting appeal is big but not huge, if you play by yourself then you have some minigames that aren't gonna impress you as much as the first game but you do get to go for the high scores on the minigames to win costumes for Rayman and the Rabbids and thats where the lasting appeal really shines, customizing Rayman or the Rabbids are entertaining such as making a Rabbid wear a ninja turtle suit or make him a gingerbread man, it's really cool to see some costumes referencing pop culture, you an also make your own trips and put all your favorite minigames in there for party sakes but the biggest gap for me is that there isn't really a true Solo Mode, even when you play Trips by yourself you don't progress through a story so that's dissapointing. To keep it simple, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is a somewhat disappointing sequel that features minigames that have minimal depth and have a more party vibe to them which can disappoint some others that play by themselves, the multiplayer however is a big improvement to the original though with more modes and more multiplayer type of minigames. The visuals are lacking and are mixed in general. The controls work but they overuse movements and aren't that creative. The game has more content than the original but the depth-less minigames kind of weighs it down and even after unlocking everything there's nothing else to do other than more multiplayer which would get more stale after an hour. Gameplay: 7/10 Graphics: 5/10 Controls: 8/10 Lasting appeal: 7/10 Overall: 6/10… Expand

    While Ubisoft has added 50 new minis and colored the experience with unlockable costumes and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection support (for high score tracking), the core games are less enjoyable than those in the first, which is very disappointing.

    A sequel that's good but not great. It's got mini-games that will hook you immediately, a stronger emphasis on group play, and some genuinely hilarious moments. It's also got some bad mini-game mechanics that are recycled throughout the experience that drag it down.

    The graphics are cheery and hilarious, with the Rabbids stealing the show from Rayman. The Wi-Fi Connection function is a nice touch, though it lacks online multiplayer. Invite these Rabbids to your next holiday party.
