Rayman Esque Mario Party Mini Games.
This game is a collection of mini-games all thrown together by what you might call a story line. There really is no dialogue but basically you were caught by the Rabbids while you were out at a picnic with your frog buddies or something and now you must complete arena challenges for them. Nothing special, but I suppose a decent premise for the type of game here. This stuff doesn't really matter though, its all about the mini-games of which there are plenty.
There are I think about 50 different games that will require you to do a number of tasks involving the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Some are as simply as a first person arcade style shooter in which you are moved on a rail, but must do the shooting. Others involve you tilting things, memorizing and repeating patterns, or waving the nunchuck and remote up and down repeatedly to run or some sort of similar action.
The game definitely utilizes the Wii's capabilities very well and is executed very well most of the time. There were definitely a few mini-games that got on my nerves and I was just glad to get them over with, but 3 or 4 out of 50 isn't to shabby at all.
On top of playing through the "story" mode you unlock the games as you beat them to be played in "score" mode. In this mode you are rewarded up to 1000 points for how good you do at the games. 1000 points is basically a perfect run through a given game. Achieving scores like that will unlock for you some bonus videos that are decently humerous along with a few more games to play.
The best part about it is that score mode has multiplayer capabilities. It can do up to 4 players, but everyone must have their own remote and nunchuck. It is definitly worth playing with friends though, a lot of the games are even better when you are competing against your friends; or in some cases you can play co-op.
Rayman is a solid launch title for anyone looking for something to do on their new system that doesn't take place in Hyrule or someone who is awaiting WarioWare's arrival. Don't miss out on an oppurtunity for some long lasting fun.
