    Working through story mode, logging points for everything in score mode, then trying to unlock all the bonuses (naff though they mainly are) by getting even _more_ points for everything in score mode, gives this a lot more longevity than we imagined. Not all the games are great, but enough are to be worth the twenty quid. The 3/5/10 event challenges will make ideal party games.

    Even the not so fun minigames are made better by those crazy rabbits!

    1) There isn't enough split screen multiplayer games. Like the racing games, you can't actually race your friends, you have to race, then they race after you.
    2) This game is indeed designed for righties, but if you're a lefty like me, you just need to remember to switch hands on the nessicary levels.
    But over all, iu highly recomend the game, and I hope Unisoft, comes out with another soon, and they fix at least the multiplater complaint that I have    … Expand

    Games are fun but the story mode lacks depth and unlocking stuff seems easy but then becomes confusing and for those of you who like to make sense of a plot then don't pay attention to this story mode because the ending is confusing, mini games however, are undiniable fun

    Definitely to be played in story mode with a few friends. It's a total blast to take turns beating the individual challenges because it's almost as much fun to watch somebody play as it is to play yourself.

I know that there are a few out there that might not be interested due to thier unmarried and no kids status, but that's not what this game is about!!! THIS game was made for kids and family play. Not for those who regularly bust out Gears of War or Dead Space in an afternoon. So please, if you don't have kids try to refrain from posting on this title. It's not for you...it's for them!… Expand

    A great start for the Wii; hopefully Ubisoft continues cranking them out. The controls on this one (and Red Steel in fact) are mind-blowing. The level of interactivity is high, and highly enjoyable. And the array of mini-games makes it insanely addicting and fun to play with friends. One of the best games I've ever encountered as far as launch titles go.

    I was very skeptical about this game. I haven't liked any of the other rayman games, so i expected it to be more of the same. however when I got my hands on the wii controller I found myself intriqued by the fact that I could bonk stupid, screaming little rabbits on the face and make them wail by moving the controller.

The games that I loved and went back to were those that had something unique about them (for example, the game where you have to use the speaker in the wii-mote to listen to your pig that guides you through a maze; also the game of red light green light where you have to pump the controllers and then point at the middle of the screen to stop); and b) it takes quite a while to unlock the multiplayer challenges (where a bunch of minigames are strung together so that you can play multiplayer with a finite time-period in mind, as opposed to just playing random minis). Since I bought the game almost exclusively to play with friends, it would have been nice if they had more multiplayer challenge options to begin with.

    Rayman Raving Rabbids is funny. It is full of stupid cartoon-like jokes where everyone can't help but laugh. The minigames themselves work okay, and it is absolutely hilarious at a party, but they feel a little gimmicky. Also there simply not enough of them and some of them, like the dancing game, get boring quickly. Get it if your willing to play through some mediocre minigames for a good laugh.

    Many interesting minigame types with several levels of each type. Crazy art. Overall great game if it weren't for the numerous bugs which make certain levels unplayable. Such bugs and their quantity cannot be excused in a console game priced at ~50 EUR.

    The experience is still engaging and addictive and the title's sense of humor is in a league of its own. It is almost unfair to label this effort a Rayman game because the real stars of the project are the bunnies, whose blank faces and inevitable agonized screams will make you laugh over and over again.

    I enjoyed the many mini-games I played, had a great time watching these little punk bastards suffer at my expense and loved thrusting plungers in their furry little faces. I would have like a bit more of a multiplayer challenge and some of the mini-games are less than fun, but on the whole, I rose up and took down as many Rabbids as possible.

    Aside from the seemingly requisite handful of games that just plain suck -- including a particularly painful one that has you slamming shut doors (via a shake of the Nunchuk), which sounds simple, but is infuriating as you attempt to find the sweet spot or figure out why it just doesn't respond to your commands sometimes -- the game's biggest fault is its surprising shortage of full-on multiplayer games.
