As a game, Rayman Raving Rabbids was an entertaining though somewhat inconsistent collection of great (anything with Disco) and not-so-great (e.g., "Bunnies don't like open bathroom doors") minigames. As a character, however, the rabbids and their hilarious videos have touched us like no other adorable conquistadors ever have. We'll never forget their battle cry: gaaaaaaaahhhh!
It's currently unknown whether Sony or Microsoft will see rabbid love, as the Nintendo-centric magazine only mentioned DS and Wii as consoles the game will appear on. A book in the Xbox 360 version's case hinted at a sequel as well, and we expect Ubisoft to ultimately release this on every platform available. No release date has been announced.
A collection of hilarious rabbid advertisements after the break.

And yay for more Rabbids! Although for some reason I was hoping for Ed from Tonic Trouble to be in the sequel. I do not know why, and I will slap myself.

Mini-games = downfall of Wii

As far as "Bunnies don't like open bathroom doors" goes, I hated it. Not because the minigame was bad, but they didnt explain how to play it the right way. I though that in order to close the door you had to do the closing motion with the pointer on top of the actual door, but after about a half hour of struggling I found out all I had to do was center the pointer relative to the sides of the bathroom. I didn't even need to be touching the doors! That really pissed me off.

The mini-games for the Wii thus far have sold fairly well. I don't really see how they will be a downfall. The Wii isn't selling to the same crowd that the 360 and PS3 are.

^ After seeing this vid, I actually made the 'DAA!' a ringtone on my phone! Used it for incoming messages, and got lots of weird looks.

1: Minigames are cool for a while.
2: Minigames stop being cool after a while for the majority of people.
I hope metroid is a huge game, I also hope Nintendo spreads its nets wide and try to get some new IP in epic blockbuster form.
In short, I bought RaymanRR , would I buy Rayman RR 2? No. Would I buy Halo Wii? Fuck yes.
Thanx for listening.

There was a plot, sorta, but the repeatition of the same scenes becomes a little annoying after a while. And the load screens are interesting once. Too bad you have to watch them over and over and over again. I kept thinking to myself, is that all there is to this game? Just a bunch of mini games, some of which that repeat?
On the Wii, I guess it makes more sense with the motion controls.

Take the bathroom door thing for instance, once I figured out that between each close attempt (shake of the nunchuck) I had to stop shaking before I could attempt again it was cake. And I felt really stupid that it took me so long to figure that out, with that said they should have told me that was how it worked.
One game I really have to give credit to is SSX Blur, while people complain about how hard it is to do ubers at least they have the option to practice them and then there is feedback to tell you if you're doing it right.
