Video game reviews: Rayman Raving Rabbids

Yes, I know it's quite old, but hey, I want to review it.

So, the newest game from Ubisoft studios has been given both praise and haze in the media. This game stars Rayman, our Limbless french hero. So it starts off with Rayman and his friends, Globox babies (Globox is a friend of rayman in the past games.) when the Globoxes suddenly fall into the ground, only to be replaced by some bunnies. Although Rayman offers them some food, that doesn't save him from being carried off by a Giant Muzzled Rabbit. So that's when the game starts here. Rayman is taken to an arena, where he will have to take challenges to progress. When you win, you get a plunger. Yes it sounds crazy, but you soon discover how important it is later.

The minigames mostly involve torturing the rabbids various ways. One way is bashing a bandaged bunnies head as much as you can so that you will make his bump go really high.

My personal favorite mini games are the On-Rail first person shooter games. You see, throughout the game, after you beat three Minigames you will unlock the boss minigames. These boss minigames are either racing or first person shooters. In the first person shooters, you shoot plungers a bunnies who run up to attack you. Sometimes, they'll act really stupid and laugh at you, or they'll just stand there doing nothing for a few seconds. As for the racing games, you race rabbids and strange elephant monsters (Possibly enemies from the original platformer version?) on giant pigs around a course. It's pretty straight forward.

I thought that this game is a blast when you have some time to kill. But if you are a die hard Rayman fan, then this game may not be for you.

Kinda strange that a Rayman game may actually not be that appealing to a Rayman fan, but unfortunately, it's true. Rayman plays a small part in the game. Many Rayman fans were angry about this and refused to buy the sequel.

The bunnies steal the spotlight throughout the entire game, and leave very little spotlight for Rayman. So I repeat, If you absolutely love Rayman, Then don't buy this game! However, If you're a casual gamer or like a good party game, then I highly recommend it.

Final score: **** out of five stars
