Dance, bounce, shoot and bonk your way to freedom. Rayman: Raving Rabbids puts you in the shoes of Rayman, the captured gladiator of the insane bunnies that have taken over the world.
As Rayman, players have to complete over 50 mini-games ranging from dancing to "Girls Just Wanna have Fun" to shooting bunnies dressed as cowboys with a plunger gun. With the new Nintendo Wii, the interactive game system has players shaking their arms wildly making Rayman run to deliver flaming packages, swinging their arms above their heads trying to throw cows in a hammer throwing contest or dancing around in a Dance Dance Revolution style mini-game.
The graphics are good for what they are, there isn't a need for high definition graphics for a collection of mini-games. The music will have players dancing until early in the morning in an attempt to defeat bunnies in the club while dancing to "La Bamba."
The story line is a small cover for a large collection of mini-games, but it is decent enough. Rayman has been captured and competes day after day in the coliseum. Each day he earns a new plunger as a prize and then uses it to build a ladder to escape to a world free from screaming bunnies.
I personally found the game to be one of the most enjoyable of the year. I stayed up until three in the morning the night I got it just trying to get one step further. A definite smash hit for groups, but not an adventurous epic for the die hard gaming crowd.
