Rayman: Raving Rabbids Review

The artwork is bizarre, funny and unique, which makes things a bit more interesting for players as they beat the crap out of all those annoying rabbids. Although we didn't see anything jaw-dropping, the graphics are crisp and quite satisfying for a game of this caliber - given that we're talking about a bunch of mini-games all rolled into one product. Audio design has obviously been done with great care, since most challenges and events greatly depend on sound effects. Everything else works just fine, from the utterly whacky bunny screeches to the splendid variety of tunes on offer.

Kick the bunny! Now that's sport!

Your average Raving Rabbid, dressed as a pirate.

Rayman Raving Rabbids is apparently perfect for having fun on the Wii console in the company of your friends or family. On the PC, things are a bit different. What's more, it's hardly a satisfying single-player experience, since it doesn't take you more than one day of intense playing to go through the whole thing.

Be warned that as soon as you've finished the game, you'll have nightmares about being stalked by millions of big-toothed raving rabbids. The bright side of the spectrum is that the PC version of RRR costs 20 bucks, so at least it's not so steep a price to pay for beating the living daylights out of scores of nasty rabbits. The Wii version still costs 50 big ones, but there's a world of difference between experiencing this game with a Wii-mote and playing via the PC mouse-keyboard.
