Game Review: Rayman Raging Rabbits

The Wii game Rayman - Raging Rabbits is an interesting title. It's not what you expect from other rayman titles and on the Wii you can tell instantly it is a release title as they paid lots of attention to the controls. Basically as rayman you have to play a series of minigames beating a goal on each one until you earn enough plungers to escape your prison. Many of the minigames are fun, shooting rabbits with a plunger gun is a blast, but others have bugs/quirks that make them not as fun... the DDR type keep the beat games that you have to zap rabbits to the tune of a song by shaking the remote and nunchuk have some bugs as in sensing double strikes and actually reducing your score when you hit it dead on ruins the fun. Throwing cows, drowning bunnies in carrot juice and other minigames are an absolute hoot and are actually more fun outside the single player game when you unlock them.

I give Rayman raging Rabbits a 4 out of 5. Losing a point only for the minor control bug.

Gah, I've noticed that about the music minigame myself. Glad it's not me. I've found it much more prevalent on the nunchuck controller than the wiimote, and I've found that very gentle action largely cures it. Still, an annoying quirk to an otherwise absolutely outstanding game.
