REVIEW
Good, but I miss a few things from Rayman 1 I LOVED the first Wii Rayman game. That was probably the most fun I've had on my Wii to date and I was so happy when I finished it. Being a little Rayman'ed out, I waited several months before getting Rayman 2.
It's defintely easier to play, but I miss a few things.
Pros:
1) Much faster gameply, you don't have to finish all the games to advance to the next level like in Rayman 1.
2) WAAAY better multiplayer. This is multi-player game now. I would not even bother with single player mode.
3) The shooting games are blast with the real life video in there.
And multi-player is the way to go.
4) The dancing game is not a music game. This works well for some and not so well for others. My wife was REally good at the old dance game.
On this one, she can barely score at all. On the other hand, being able to play several instruments I pretty much score 80% or better.
CONS
1) There is little to no challenge here. The games are much easier and in my opinion are not as fun as the first Rayman. I progress through the games without any feeling of achievement in finishing a level.
2) As noted. Single player stinks. I miss playing without a partner.
3) Some of the games are REALLY bad. Some are good, and there are some classics here, but most of these are so-so. I like the cell phone one the most so far. Shoot games are amazing, though.

REVIEW
Fun Game I bought 2 copies of this game for my kids to eliminate them fighting over "who borrowed it last". This game kept an 11 and 9 year old busy and laughing for hours in the car. Not once did I hear "are we there yet?"
Silly cartoon violence and wacky fun abound.

REVIEW
How do you spell cool? Rayman Raving Rabbids!!! This game is very entertaining and funny. It's funny because the bunnies are just plain DUMB:) For example, one mini game is you have to poke a bunnies brain. It's like a memory game. The game itself isnt like the others. The other games are adventure. This is a mini-game game. It's very fun though. Also there are costumes. There are 4 minigames in a session. To move on, you need to beat 3. Beat all of them, and you get a music track or an outfit. This game is very funny. Don't listen to those bad reviews. This game rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

REVIEW
Rabbid mayhem continues Raving Rabbids TV Party has many of the same type of mini games that was present in the previous game-they have just been revamped with a new theme. There is quite a range of games available when you start and you can pick your order of games. Use of the wii board is a available in some mini games which add a new element of fun and makes some games a bit more challenging. i.e you can guide your character in a sledding game, dance, or fly through space. These games also allow you to use the wii mote instead of the wii board. Overall, a fun party game to have especially if you enjoyed Rabbid2.

They enslave him, forcing Rayman to participate in a series of gladiator-like trials. In order to win his freedom, Rayman must entertain and outwit these crazed, out-of-control bunnies.

Welcome to a new generation of Rayman You'd be hard-pressed to find a game with as much character as Rayman Raving Rabbids. From the creative minigames to the quirks of the bunnies, this game packs an immense amount of entertainment on one disc. It's rare in games that failing during a competition can bring you as much joy as actually succeeding, but Rayman Raving Rabbids does an admirable job of rewarding yourfailure with a large dose of comic screams, flying plungers and crossed eyes.
Of course, the point is to succeed and not let the bunnies laugh at your failure. Rayman Raving Rabbids may have a lot of style but it has very little plot. Each level consists of four minigame challenges and one "boss battle," so to speak. If you complete at least three of the minigames, the main gate opens, allowing you to take on a greater challenge. Once you play a minigame in the Story Mode, you unlock that minigame and can play it at any time and against friends.
Exercise your Wii Remote Hand it to Ubisoft's development crew as they really took advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers' capabilities. Some minigames are as simple as twirling the Wii Remote like a lasso and pushing a button to launch a cow as if you were in a hammer throw competition. Some minigames really test your coordinating, asking you to swing the Nunchuk like a jump rope and flicking the Wii Remote up to make Rayman jump.
Each level has one consistant challege, however: a rhythm game. As a song plays, the bunnies approach a spot on either stage left or right. When they hit that spot, you'll shake the Nunchuk (if the bunny is on the left) or the Wii Remote when the rabbid hits the mark.
When you take on the boss stages, you'll find yourself, more often than not, playing a rail shooter. The Wii Remote becomes your light gun, firing plungers at the horde of oncoming rodents. When your plunger supply runs out, shake the Nunchuk to reload. In recent years, the rail shooter (where you don't control the movement) has been forsaken for the first-person shooter and free movement. The Rayman boss experience will make rail shooter fans rejoice. If other shooters can perform as well as the plunger-fueled firing action of Rayman Raving Rabbids, the genre will come back with a vengeance.
Impressive replay value There's extra incentive to play the many minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids. When you complete a game in Challenge Mode, the game gives you a code that you can enter at the Rayman Web site which basically gives you access to special features on the site.
The minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids skew toward a younger audience, and at first, an above-average gamer should find the games to be pretty easy. However, once the minigames are unlocked, a big challenge awaits you to get the highest scores and blast your friends in multiplayer challenges. That's when the real party begins! Rayman delivers exactly what the Wii promises: fun and lots of it. Here's hoping the bunnies come back for multiple invasions!
REVIEW
Fun game full of imagination My kids LOVE this game! It is full of funny little things to do, like shooting toilet plungers, throwing cows and that kind of stuff - who comes up with this stuff (very funny). It is a game that is for any age, the younger ones get a kick out of seeing what they have to do and the older ones have a challenge trying to get through everything. I wasn't sure what I would think of this game but my girls (8 and 14) really enjoy it..

REVIEW
Disappointing One of the launch titles for Nintendo's Wii, Rayman Raving Rabbids helped prove just how fun Nintendo's new console can be. Now that it's made it's way to other systems, the game seemed like a nice fit for the DS considering it's touch screen use. Sadly though, unlike what is basically a fun collection of mini-games like we got for the Wii, Rayman Raving Rabbids for the DS is a basic platformer that doesn't have enough steam to make it anything really special. Playing as the Ubi Soft mascot, you traverse your way in a 2-D side scroller with some 3-D backgrounds as you avoid the insane Rabbids and other hazzards. While the Rabbids are still deliriously funny and Rayman himself has a nice set of moves and abilities, the game at it's core is a generic side scrolling platformer with touchy controls, shoddy looking graphics, and the game's short length doesn't help either. Now and then between levels, you'll get to partake in mini-games that offer the nice amounts of fun you'd hope to find here, but it doesn't last long. That being said, Rayman Raving Rabbids isn't a bad game at all, but there's nothing about it that sets it apart from other platformers either, and it's nowhere near as fun as the Wii version.
Best of the Best for allPinball formats Not only is this the best of the best for every single Pinball variety game that I have played, this is also my favorite game for the Wii. Endless hours of fun and entertainment.
Mercury Meltdown Revolution lets you guide a mercury "blob" trough dangerous obstacle courses with your Wii Remote. Take control of a liquid mercury blob, guiding it around traps, door switches, spikes, moving floors and other hazardous elements in order to complete the level. Use your Wiimote to explore 150 levels and hidden labs, as you get used to the state of the art blob physics.
REVIEW
pretty fun, worth $20 i've played this game for a couple hours now and it is pretty fun. reminds me of the old "marble madness" game, but with an updated feel and technology. it gets pretty difficult, so it isn't a super easy game that you'll blow thru in minutes. it's a good level of challenge.
You are Travis Touchdown, a normal guy (with an otaku geek streak) who wins a Beam Katana through an online auction and uses the weapon to start a new career as a professional killer. One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle. Travis emerges victorious and finds himself in the presence of Silvia Christel, a mysterious French woman who claims to be an agent with the UAA. Silvia gives Travis official rank of 11 in the organization. Now, it's up to you to become #1. No More Heroes takes place in the city of Santa Destroy, and you are free to explore the town to your liking, taking on missions large and small to collect money and purchase new weapons as you work up towards the 10 main killing contracts. Gameplay is all about using your Beam Katana (via Wii remote) to defeat enemies.
REVIEW
Bogus This game looks really cool. Unique idea. But really bad attempt.
The load screens are way way too often. And you have to ride on your bike from mission to mission - Really pointless as there is nothing to collect or kill along the way.
The music sucks.
And while you're constantly watching the tiny radar map to find your destination you end up running into a building and flying off your bike. This game is not a fast paced game at all.
The fight sequences are just button mashers and lack any element of control. Not to mention camera angles are way too close.
Customization: You get to collect clothing. Wow, if i wanted to play dress up I'd go to the mall. You get different light sabers. But you can't switch between them any time you want, and they don't even seem different.
Saving: You can only save at your motel, what a pain.
