Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2

I didn't really like the first one - the multiplayer wasn't particularly strong and there was seldom support for four players.

In this one, the ballance has been redressed. It's more of a part game than a minigame collection as the minigames are in groups of six, each themed around a continent (Europe, America, Aisia etc.) After each minigame, the players are placed first, second etc. and given scores accodingly. The winner is the one at the end of the trip with the most points.

This makes the game feel larger and more engaging than the minigame collections like Wii Sports because you are engaging in a tournament with your friends rather than just playing single game after single game with no one really keeping score. This does leave the players who are a bit rubbish out in the cold somewhat though...

The games are less inventive than they were the first time round though. The use of the wiimote is less exciting but then again, I think the games are of generally a higher quality. There are only 60 this time so there are fewer duds (although there are definitely some dodgy games in there). The humour has been stepped up a notch thanks to Rayman being sidelined by the Rabbids.

The single player game is pretty terrible however. It doesnt have any of the charm of Wario Ware and the only reason you'd ever play them is to unlock new costumes (of which there are almost a hundred). Actually, I'm being unfair. The minigames are still fun by yourself, they're just not as fun as they are when you're with friends.

It beats Mario Party 8 as a party game because, joy of joys, you can skip the cutscenes. The games are all slightly longer as well, which increases the sense of competition.

Overall, Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 is a brilliant game if you have several friends who all love the Wii. The games are polished and often hillarious. The only things that let it down are a disapointing singleplayer and a few dud games. Because of the quality of the rest of the game, this really doesnt matter.

It's a fantastic game which will have you laughing hard at the bunnies as you swing your arms wildly, phone using your wiimote, wash clothes and make fun of the boss at work! The mini games are really innovative and the music games are much more interesting this time round. The shooting games are good too having much more realistic backgrounds and the game still works smoothly. It doesn't get stuck as is said in another comment left by someone else - mine doesn't and I play it loads. It's also very rewarding since you get lots of costumes to dress up the bunnies as you get the best highscore in each game - much more incentive to complete them all this time around!

This simply is a must-have game! You're really missing out on something special if you don't get this game. Let the bunnies invade the world again and again! Hmm, they should try invading the solar system in the third installment :P or maybe they should invade movies and anime!!! I can't wait to see what the bunnies will do next, but this game is more than enough to keep you playing for hours on end just for the sheer pleasure of eating butterflies :).

What seemed like a weird and uncomfortable looking game has turned into a really enjoyable party game.
Mad humour, enjoyable mini-games and the satisfaction of destroying rabbids.
Okay most people would prefer blood and proper guns to the plunger gun but you don't need it.
Raving Rabbids is a good reminder of how games should be seen as. FUN! Games shouldn't be a second job or so realistic that it lacks imagination. So take a few lessons from Ubisoft all you big game makers, and make a fun game.

Stop reading this and buy it now! If you use your Wii for multiplayer action then this is a quick fix game ideal for all levels. Don't think for one second its a gamer's-game, its not.
It simpley is a whole-lotta fun! Loads of mini games and 2 minute games making it a great party game.
Rabbids, Sonic and Mario, and a few friends and it'll be 4am before you know it.

Piffle to those who disrespect the Rabbids! It rocks.

I was bought the game as a present having only seen the TV advert but I love it!! I've played it in a group and on my own and those Rabbids never fail to put a stupid smile on my face! It may not be the biggest game but I think some of the reviewers are being a bit harsh. If you just like mad things and having a laugh with you Wii then you can't lose!
