It's been a while since I've seen a franchise come from nowhere and really surprise me (the first game) and subsequently turn into a game I wouldn't recommend to anyone. The second game really has dropped the ball on many levels. There are not enough mini games. The games that are there are very hit and miss. Even the bunnies don't seem as funny this time around. And while using FMV with bunnies overlaid may have worked very well for the game trailers and marketing bumph it spectacularly fails in the context of a game. Bring back the wacky environments from the first game please.

5 is generous.

Wow, and this after all Ubi's big words on looking to match Nintendo's software quality ...

I resent the allegation that rabbit droppings are similar to maltesers :(

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. She *loved* the first one and she's not exactly a games connosiour (sp?) so I'm still optimistic.

I can't believe Ubi will make a sequel of RRR, but won't make Beyond Good & Evil 2... I can only assume this was very cheap to make...

Oh grow up you lot - or should that be grow down?

This is the funniest game you could ever wish for - Me and my friends were crying with laughter just at the intro sequence before the game even started.

The humour is purile, infantile fun - shake a (wii-remote) bottle, open it (with a button), drink it (down in one) and then burp Paris to oblivion.

Class!

Yes your arms are gonna ache to buggery after a bit, but they'll ache even more by playing mario/sonic, and every game in that you have to shake the remote.

Plus, the costumes to unlock - there's the HAZE armour, TMNT costumes, Power Rangers, and Spiderman.

Honestly 5 is a bit on the harsh side - its a 7 at the least. Yes there are loads of mini-game games out on the wii, but this (at the moment) is the one that is the most fun.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Cheapest, dullest, unfunniest christmas cash in I've ever played.

Traded it in last Friday.

The band sessions are relatively fun but everyone was crying out to do some cow tossing so RRR1 went on and it just shows up how poor the sequel is.

The intro's funny but that's about it. The games take too long and not much happens. They're mostly very similar. The shooting galleries have been broken.

It'd be worth a fiver in a bargain bin but don't be fooled, well, unless dull mini game collections are your thing, but there's not exactly a drought of those on Wii now is there?

5 is indeed generous.

Should read: "Me and the rest of the guys here at Ubisoft love it. Oops, did I say I worked for Ubisoft? I meant, er... Barclays Bank. Yes, that'll do."

Mr Ancel needs to get off his arse and make a true 3d platform game using these bunnies.

Stop with the mini game compilations please, you boring devs.

One year later, Rayman Raving Rabbids STILL doesn't work for most of the PC users that bought it. The fix is as simple as removing the Copy Protection, but Ubi can't be bothered.

I agree that shunning the distributor would be too much (although not THAT much), but while there is no patch for the PC version, DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS DEVELOPER!

They don't deserve it.

@frod: "The first game was also garbage. Strip out the joy of trying the Wii Remote for the first time from your experience of the first game and you notice that the actual gameplay was garbage, hence the generally lower reviews for the other versions."

In YOUR opinion. The first game is still funny and fun and is still played in our household once in a while (of course, newer games get more playtime but we don't think the first one was garbage at all).

The opening sequence is funny, I'll give you that. After that, it's terrible. The music games are good fun but a lot of the games seem to be traffic light games. Also, they did the one massive mistake of changing the shooting game controls. It was fine before, now it's just "ugh".

What no comments about the Jade+toilet incident?? Wow, people who have the Wii really are more mature. I must get one.

/rolls eyes

It's a shame they couldn't have built on the perfectly fine original as it was fun and funny. This seems like a backward step to me.

I'm not lying and I don't work for any company in the gaming world - I just think this is the funniest game I've played. Most games take themselves far too seriously.

What's a good (multiplayer) mini game collection for the Wii then? All the reviews that I read of minigames collection end up with "There are better minigame collections out there"... but I can't find any review ending in a different way :D

"Does anyone know if they really do wear coconut bras in Hawaii?"

Interestingly (if that's a word), the Hawaiian shirt was invented by Spanish Jesuits so Hawaiian women would cover their boobs up. True story.

I tried the first one, because it had raving reviews. I hated it. It's probably because I played it after WarioWare but I really have no idea what the fuss was about... I wasn't amused by the rabbids - I found them irritating and sometimes disturbing (because the aesthetics not the humor).
And the gameplay... It was so bad - I felt like I was constantly fighting with the remote and the nunchuck. I will never understand why people praised this one for the gameplay.
