With a hilarious new character, and some truely awesome minigames, this is one of the most memorable launch titles.
User Rating: 9 | Rayman Raving Rabbids WII
The game starts off with Rayman having a picnic on a seemingly perfect summer day when the crazed Rabbids explode out from the ground and ruin his lunch. It seems that from the start the Rabbids want to take over the world, and maybe they do, but all they do is capture Rayman and emprison him in some sort of stadium along with a bunch of funny looking frogs in different cells. Every day they force Rayman to peform a series of 5 tests, usually consisting of injuring other Rabbids. The gameplay in general was in fact pretty innovative. The premise to the game (5 minigames per day, one is always a ryhtm based dancing thingy) allows a lot of room for creative minigames and not just things to give the game a slightly better value. Some of the minigames were very well done and were extremely fun such as the rhythm game where you must swing either the nunchuck or the remote as if playing the drums as rabbids passed a certain point on the screen. However, some occasional poorly made minigames are also in this game, such as one where you must navigate a simple maze while holding a pig with rabbids in the ground. You must avoid the rabbids by listening to the pig's squeals, via the speaker on the remote. The problem is a lot of the time the sounds fails completely to come out. The sound in the game is pretty great as well. The few things that really stand out are the voices of the rabbids themselves. While they dont really speak, they hall have these hilarious yells and screams that they do. Those will keep you laughing or at least smiling throughout the entire game. Other than that the sound is just generally impressive with some cool little tunes playing while you play the minigames. The graphics in this game are amongst the best of all Wii titles to date. They are one of the few examples so far of how the Wii is indeed capable of more than the old Gamecube graphics. The rabbids look funny, a big part of that to their facial expressions. But the game just looks good overall, crisp character models, detailed backrounds and more than often a very smooth framerate. You cant complain about this graphics all, you're more likely to be pleased by them. The main story wont take you a very long time, but as you play through it, it is guaranteed that you will want to play more than half of them many more times. So you just go to score mode where you can play everygame youve cleared in the story thus far. This is also where multiplayer is played, which i must say is quite fun. Rayman is, in my opinion, one of the better launch games. Its humour is almost enough to warrant a purchase by itself. If you have two remotes and nunchucks then the multilayer can be a total blast.
