Raving Rabbids reminds me of the Killer Bunnies in Monty Python's Holy Grail, like the movie there's a sense of irreverence about the game that makes it quite hilarious. Shooting bunnies with toilet plungers (Bunnies Don't Like to be Disturbed on Holiday), throwing cows (Bunnies Don't Know What to do with Cows), disco dancing (Bunnies Love to Dance), running with dynamite (Bunnies Don't Give Gifts) Raving Rabbids is a great party game that doesn't take itself too seriously. The game allows up to 4 players and it works pretty well for for ages 6 and up. The skill level necessary to play the games is a little difficult for any age, but particularly frustrating for the younger aged kids. Many of the games are a race against the clock, which combined with the difficulty level can be overwhelming, even as it's still funny. Raving Rabbis has a Story Mode and a Score Mode. While you can play a few of the games in the Score Mode, the majority of them are locked until they are "won" in the Story Mode, which can be frustrating. Winning can be difficult but gratifying so the game is challenging enough to make you work for it, fun enough so you want to keep trying. My kids 5 & 7 still have fun playing the few games that are available in Score Mode and now after 3 months of owning it, still like playing it. If the makers had allowed players to partake in more games in the Score Mode (only about 10% of the games are playable in Score Mode until you unlock more in the Story Mode) I would rate it excellent. As it is, my whole family still loves the game enough that we bought Raving Rabbids 2.Read full review
All of the minigames are hilarious, and most of them are also fun to play. My two qualms are a) there is too much overlap in the gameplay of the various minigames. There are about 10 levels of on-the-rails shooter, 15 DDR-esque music play, and a bunch of distinct games where you have to pump the two controllers really fast. The games that I loved and went back to were those that had something unique about them (for example, the game where you have to use the speaker in the wii-mote to listen to your pig that guides you through a maze; also the game of red light green light where you have to pump the controllers and then point at the middle of the screen to stop); and b) it takes quite a while to unlock the multiplayer challenges (where a bunch of minigames are strung together so that you can play multiplayer with a finite time-period in mind, as opposed to just playing random minis). Since I bought the game almost exclusively to play with friends, it would have been nice if they had more multiplayer challenge options to begin with. All in all though, Rayman and Wii Sports have definitely satisfied my multiplayer desires at launch.Read full review
I bought this for my son when it first came out and we had a blast. I'm old school so I don't like task/quest based games that take endless hours to complete. I just want to have some chaotic fun. This game delivers. I actually bought this used ebay copy for a friend of mine to play with his kid. It's loaded with humor, action, and you can easily play it for 10 minutes or 10 hours.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
it is what it is, a bunch of short minigames meant to show off and utilize wii controls but very little else. I bought it so as to have a group game to play with my friends and family. my family shows little interest, though i will say my gf is somewhat amused; especially with the shooting plunger minigames and racing. the story mode will take you a few hours to blast through which is good and bad; great that you wont have to spend days unlocking everything, a little disappointing that it seems over so very fast once its said and done. that aside, the minigames are entertaining. some work well, some just flat out stink and will leave you cursing the developers for making you have to do them. the plunger shooting games are fun but perhaps a bit too easy (as are most of the games). the racing is entertaining even if the controls for it aren't great; hey, its no mariokart but its fun in its own rights. the dancing/drumming game is always a kick. many more that i won't mention except to say they have some value. all in all, it was decent when i played the game the first time around. got tired of it half way through though. a bit repetitive. haven't played it since really. if you have a lot of friends over or little kids, this may be the game for you as it is certainly more fun with others but the lack of a more robust assortment of simultaneous multiplayer games (most only let you take turns playing to beat each others scores) you may find it lacking as well).Read full review
I bought this because it was on the recommended family games in the family fun mag. It is indeed great family fun. The story mode is single player but we seem to have no trouble taking turns. The turns go quickly and it is fun to do actions not just pushing thumbs. You are on your feet working. My arms we even sore. The game is against "rabbid" rabbits and some of the mini games seem cruel to my kids like hitting rabbits on the head with a shovel. But it is presented all in fun. The dance one is my personal favorite and it helps the kids with rythmn.
