a few of the duller mini-games cut, an engine that pushes the Wii a bit more, and a greater focus on multiplayer might have allowed Raving Rabbids to be one of the greatest party games of all time.

One can only hope that a sequel will improve on certain issues, such as a few clunky mini-games that eat away at the fun factor, but overall, for the sense of humor, entertaining presentation, and the online scoreboards, Rayman is the winner in this...read the complete Rayman Raving Rabbids review at GameSpy
The single-player game works thusly: you start your day in a cell and you knock on the door so that you can be allowed into the arena.

The games repeat core mechanics too often, many solo games go on too long for good alternating multiplayer, and while it’s safe to say the Wii version is going to be the superior one, it doesn’t lend itself to extended play due to the repetition and...read the complete Rayman Raving Rabbids review at GameTrailers

So it's pretty obvious by now Raving Rabbids is not an ordinary game. It's not even an ordinary Rayman platformer.

Some...read the complete Rayman Raving Rabbids review at Nintendo Spin
