Rayman Raving Rabbids

Rayman Raving Rabbids is the edgiest and most off-the-wall gaming experience in the history of the Rayman franchise. This new Rayman game features the funniest, zaniest, wackiest antics ever when hordes of nasty bunnies invade Rayman’s world. They enslave him, forcing Rayman to participate in a series of gladiator-like trials. In order to win his freedom, Rayman must entertain and outwit these crazed, out-of-control bunnies.

Beat the bad bunnies and become a superstar!

Welcome to a new generation of Rayman
You’d be hard-pressed to find a game with as much character as Rayman Raving Rabbids. From the creative minigames to the quirks of the bunnies, this game packs an immense amount of entertainment on one disc. It’s rare in games that failing during a competition can bring you as much joy as actually succeeding, but Rayman Raving Rabbids does an admirable job of rewarding your failure with a large dose of comic screams, flying plungers and crossed eyes.

Of course, the point is to succeed and not let the bunnies laugh at your failure. Rayman Raving Rabbids may have a lot of style but it has very little plot. Each level consists of four minigame challenges and one “boss battle,” so to speak. If you complete at least three of the minigames, the main gate opens, allowing you to take on a greater challenge. Once you play a minigame in the Story Mode, you unlock that minigame and can play it at any time and against friends.

Exercise your Wii Remote
Hand it to Ubisoft’s development crew as they really took advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers’ capabilities. Some minigames are as simple as twirling the Wii Remote like a lasso and pushing a button to launch a cow as if you were in a hammer throw competition. Some minigames really test your coordinating, asking you to swing the Nunchuk like a jump rope and flicking the Wii Remote up to make Rayman jump.

Each level has one consistant challege, however: a rhythm game. As a song plays, the bunnies approach a spot on either stage left or right. When they hit that spot, you’ll shake the Nunchuk (if the bunny is on the left) or the Wii Remote when the rabbid hits the mark.

When you take on the boss stages, you’ll find yourself, more often than not, playing a rail shooter. The Wii Remote becomes your light gun, firing plungers at the horde of oncoming rodents. When your plunger supply runs out, shake the Nunchuk to reload. In recent years, the rail shooter (where you don’t control the movement) has been forsaken for the first-person shooter and free movement. The Rayman boss experience will make rail shooter fans rejoice. If other shooters can perform as well as the plunger-fueled firing action of Rayman Raving Rabbids, the genre will come back with a vengeance.

Impressive replay value
There’s extra incentive to play the many minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids. When you complete a game in Challenge Mode, the game gives you a code that you can enter at the Rayman Web site which basically gives you access to special features on the site.

The minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids skew toward a younger audience, and at first, an above-average gamer should find the games to be pretty easy. However, once the minigames are unlocked, a big challenge awaits you to get the highest scores and blast your friends in multiplayer challenges. That’s when the real party begins! Rayman delivers exactly what the Wii promises: fun and lots of it. Here’s hoping the bunnies come back for multiple invasions!

5 Stars I’ll get you, you rascally rabbid!
This game is a crowd pleaser. It’s so much fun playing this with a group of people or by yourself. You get to be mean to rabbits and do crazy things like milk a cow or race on a bull-hog looking thing. The games seem endless and the fun is non-stop when you’re shooting crazy rabbits with plungers…

5 Stars Great Game, Great price
Got this game for an Easter gift. I heard that this is the best Rayman game.

I even got it for a better price. You can’t help, but laugh. Our friends come over, and want to play this all the time. It is a good party game.

5 Stars Love it!!
We love to play this game as a family. There are some parts that I am good at other my husband and others that only my kids can pass. Favorite game so far.

5 Stars bought it as a gift
Bought it as a gift, the kids enjoyed the game and find it very fun. Great party game for kids of all ages.

4 Stars I like the TV party better
I like the TV party better, but I got this one AFTER that game. This one is the beginning and has the variety and fun. I haven’t been able to “save” if I don’t get through an entire round of challenges so I need to figure that out. I’m partial to being a Rabbid character rather than Rayman (that is the character you are in this game) but overall, for the price, it’s a great deal!

Wii Perfect Shot Gun

Traditional one handed pistol-like grip / Aiming sight increases accuracy / Wii Remote easily slides into grip and locks into place

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Fun
These are fun put you have to look at the target on the screen instead of looking down the sites of the gun.

5 Stars Excellent!
For many years I’ve kept my Sega Dreamcast around for one reason: the awesome light guns and House of the Dead 2. Now I’m afraid that my DC is going to be gather dust on the shelf. The Wii Perfect Shot Gun has proven to be a great addition to my arsenal of controllers. The Wiimote snaps in tight, and the Nunchuk plugs firmly into the pistol grip. Unlike the Wii Zapper, this controller can be used one-handed. Since it used the Wiimote, it is compatible with all of your shooting games: Resident Evil, House of the Dead 2 and 3 Return, and House of the Dead: Overkill just to name a few. Highly recommended.

5 Stars great family fun
I really like these they keep our hands from getting sore when playing chicken shoot!

5 Stars Makes you wanting more Shooter games ! (n__n)
I purchased this gun to go with my Ghost Squad game and it totally enhances your game play. The gun is a pretty good size that you can still keep your aim steady by placing on hand on the barrel while the other works the trigger. I am looking forward to getting me some more Shooter games cuz this gun enhances them and I paid $10 bucks for mine. So price is very affordable. I’d recommend it for sure !!

4 Stars worth every penny
Great product, very easy to handle and perfect for light rail shooters. I wasn’t a wii shooters fan until I picked up this device and house of the dead. Much better than the wii zapper.

4 Stars good game, good workout
I bought this game for my wife and our grandkids. It is a big hit. In about a week we had a bunch of new records. Great game, and quite a workout.

5 Stars Super Fun
I got the wii mostly for myself, buy of course my 5 year old and 2 year old were all over it. The other games I had were too advanced for them; this, however, is perfect. It requires more physical activity than the fit, which takes away the stigma of video games. Even my 2 year old can play enough to feel like he is participating with the family. So the age range is huge and this really is fun for the whole family and makes for great family quality time.

4 Stars This game is pretty fun
This game is pretty fun. There is a lot of variety even at the expense of more depth.

3 Stars Youtube videos or trailers shows a better game than really is.
Better if it would be wireless, cables always are not easy to handle with kids; only one mat can be plugged at time (better if at least two, just to have a 4-player game). The challenges are good enough.

4 Stars Not so bad
Pros:

It gets you moving! Fun game. The kids loved it!

The mat that comes with it can be used as the remote control too, so you don’t need to hold it in your hands.

Cons:

- There is not much variety when it comes to the games. Too much repetition. It gets boring after awhile.

- I expected it to be a group game. It’s not. It’s simply a one player game. but you can have a two player challenge.

5 Stars For 10 bucks, don’t hesitate to get it.
Sorry to see that some other reviewers find this game boring. My solution: don’t just stand there, shaking your remotes — get dancing! For anyone who loves to “shake that thing”, it will get your heart rate up and put you in a great mood. (Even when the controls aren’t quite working for me, I’m having a blast, and apparently so is my Mii and all of its little friends, jumping to the beat at Carnaval in Rio.) I try to get in a half hour every morning before work, and it really starts the day off right. The graphics & the music alone are worth way more than the 10 bucks they’re asking for it now — get it, and let your inner samba dancer cut loose!

5 Stars WE LOVE THIS GAME!!! FUN AND CHEAP!!!
WE LOVE THIS GAME. DON’T LET THE PRICE FOOL YOU. THE TEEN GIRLS PLAY THIS FOR HOURS!!

4 Stars Awesome fun! Kids love it, great cheesy music!
This is really a great game, and the controls seem just fine, according to my kids. You just never know what to think of the pro reviews. It seems like sometimes they mistake not being good at the game with poor control. My kids aren’t having any problem, and I love having it on in the background. The cheesy, cheesy covers are just great and so catchy. So much fun. It looks like a really fun rhythm game that seems to be easier than guitar hero and rock band, which makes it more fun for the younger kids. At under 10 bucks, it it a fantastic deal.

4 Stars Who knew maracas could be so fun?
When I bought this game, I was a little wary because I only paid $10 for it. However, it turned out to be a sound investment in fun because my 3-1/2 year old daughter and I have a blast playing this game. It’s easy enough for my daughter to play without needing a lot of help from mom and dad and the music is fun to listen to…you really do get into it!

The only complaint I have is that sometimes the controls can be frustrating, but other than that, it is a super fun game and I’m really glad I took a chance on it.

5 Stars Just Dance a Little!!!
Samba de amigo is a really cool game. I buyed it and played it a lot with my friends, it’s really tropical and the music is really fun. For people like me that don’t dance too much, is great because you have the oportunity to shake your bootie… I have to tell you that it’s a really fun game to play with a bunch of friends and show your abilities with the maracas.

3 Stars Wii play it once in a while.
Wii play is worth the few extra dollars you would otherwise spend getting a remote you need anyway, although its hasn’t been something we play very often. It’s basically an inexpensive way to begin building your game library and provide some options.

5 Stars Nana is finally off the sofa!!
I love, love, love the Wii! It is a wonderful motivator! A truly fun way to move your body without being bored!!

3 Stars wii play–kids love it
our 5 and 8 year old play these games. the 8yr old like several of them, though not all. our 5 year old is less interested. we mainly purchased this as a more efficient way to get a second remote. it’s a no brainer way to get another remote for the wii, but i wouldn’t purchase the game if the remote didn’t come with it.

5 Stars Perfect addition
It’s a no-brainer to get this package for a 2nd controller. The set of games is really fun and a nice addition to WiiSports, especially when you have friends and family over.
