Sure, Wii already has tech demos, in fact, most of the launch line up (except for Zelda) is filled with tech demos. But what makes this one different? It has retarded screaming bunnies. From this already, your good instincts should tell you to stay away You play as a limbless creature named Rayman, who has been kidnapped by retarded bunnies, and you have to partake in something like 70 minigames to plunge your way to freedom. The premise is stupid, just a way to tie together all the minigames. The minis themselves range from barely playable to just plain abysmal. You will not want to play most of these games, because they are either stupid concepts or badly designed. Very few of the games are fun, but they lose their charm after playing them once or twice. Many of the minigames also share the same gimmick,, which wouldn't be a issue if the gimmicks were less simple and easy to spot. The minigames alone makes the game horrible and not worthy of anyones money. <br /> <br />There are really only two upsides to owning this game. One, the first person shooter boss battles. After every stage (composed of 4 games) there is a boss battle, and sometimes you are treated to a very fun arcade style shoot'em up game. These are some of the best use of the controller on the system, and are increadably fun, but you will have to suffer through the rest of the crap to get to it. The other upside is humor. The Bunnies are so stupid and they are so horribly exploited in some of the minigames that it becomes funny. Of course, you are lowered down do retarded humor, but if you just need a good laugh, this game will provide entertainment. <br /> <br />Otherwise, this game is just a bad minigame collection that may provide some fun in the form of a boss battle, or just retarded humor, but usually it is just frustratingly bad, not worth the time or money. Save both by giving this one a pass <br /> <br />2/5 overall Rating: 2 / 5 Rayman Raving rabbids is not really a game, but more like a tech demo.

I like the Sopranos, Tarantino flicks, and Quake 4. <br /> <br />But there is something icky about the goal of a game that has a player repeatedly hitting a rabbid on the head with a hammer. Many people on this list say it is non-violent, but hitting "animals" (yeah I know they are possessed) with shovels, hammers, pulling worms out of their teeth and watching them hit each other with spiked clubs, well it just leaves me icky. Is this what "E" for everyone means? <br /> <br />My kids don't like the game. It feels like a bunch of technical demonstration programs linked together. I don't think it's enjoyable either. It's going up for sale. <br /> <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 Ok, I’m no goody-goody. I like the Sopranos, Tarantino flicks, and Quake 4.

The first person shooter aspect of this game is all rail based. You cannot choose where to move and it is very annoying. <br />The dancing portions of this game are worthless and pointless. The gestures you make with the wii-remote are tedious. <br /> <br />If you are looking for a fun game that is worth your time and money, look somewhere else. <br /> <br />Might I also add this game now has made me feel an urge to kill every rabbit I see.

My husband bought me this game for Christmas. So far, it, frankly, SUCKS! The games are stupid and it won't let me save a game. Apparently I need to spend MORE time with this gem to advance to the next level. I'm tired of spinning the cow around AGAIN even after I've successfully done it 3 times. <br /> <br />I HATE HATE HATE this game and don't recommend it to anyone even if they love Rayman (which i do!) I wish I could give it minus stars. Rating: 1 / 5 I love Rayman, I have the games previous to this incarnation. My husband bought me this game for Christmas. So far, it, frankly, SUCKS!
