Amazon.co.uk Review
The Wii gets a lot of stick for its abundance of mini-game compilations but that criticism would feel all the sharper if it wasn’t for the fact that most of them are still a lot of fun. Launch game Rayman Raving Rabbids was one of the best and this uses the same basic concept while greatly improving the actual individual games themselves. Instead of being captured, this time the strangely limbless Rayman has to sneak his way into a rabbid headquarters near a shopping centre as the demonic rabbit creatures plan an invasion of Earth (or wherever it is that Rayman actually lives).
Rayman’s disguises, and those of the rabbids themselves, can all be customised but involve a huge range of movie and video game parodies, from Naruto and Star Wars to Super Mario and Transformers. The actual mini-games are similarly eager to poke fun at anything and everything they can think of including a Guitar Hero spoof, twisted versions of traditional baseball and football sims and even a mini-game set in Ubisoft’s own offices which tasks you with the arduous goal of not getting any work done.
There are 60 mini-games in total, with the rhythm action stages making a comeback, in revamped form, alongside the popular first person shoot ‘em-up levels. In fact there’s overall a much greater emphasis now on multiplayer games – one of the weak spots of the original. Almost every game can be played with a friend now, allowing everyone to share the surreality.

Fun:
I really enjoyed this!
Although I've seen complaints about the game not being fun when played alone - which to an extent I do actually agree with - when they are played in a group most of them are brilliant fun! The burger balancing game mentioned in one of the reviews below is genius in it's level of chaos once you get four players involved! Plus, it certainly helps that the Rabbids themselves are hilariously funny (maybe it's the blend of deranged cartoon violence and toilet humour...)
For the simple reason that this is meant as a party game, I think it's a tad unfair marking it down for a mediocre single player mode or a lack of storyline (I wouldn't play Raving Rabbids 2 by myself but, on the other hand, I wouldn't play the absolutely fantastic Metroid Prime when my friends come round - but they are both really good at what they set out to do).
As a mini game compilation it's perfect for playing with friends round. The simplicity of the games is great for non-gamers, but the level of humour means that hardcore gamers will still have great fun. Although the Wii is a bit flooded with party games at the moment, the Rabbids and the ensuing chaos they generate make this my party game of choice.

Fun:
What alot of fun this game was. Played it over Christmas with friends and had such a great time.
Not all the mini games are brilliant, but the graphics are hysterical, making this a must have party game. I can imagine the one star reviewers are playing solo, which would be a huge mistake as this game is so much better with friends.
Best games include slapping the Rabbid kids in the car, serving burgers, running from the boulder, and
rabbid aseall...but so many of them are just too much fun.

Fun:
I'm only reviewing the multi-player aspect of this game, as it's the only part I've played, and ultimately I believe this is what the Wii is made for. If you're playing solo most of the time, then you might not agree with my views with this game, or the fact that you should get out more.
This game is great fun, whether you are with children or adults, drunk or sober. Most of my comparison of this is with other party games such as Raving Rabbids 1, Mario Party and Super Monkey Ball. The first great thing you notice is that you don't have to play for ages on your own to 'unlock' the multiplayer games. Just open the box, put it in your machine and choose the multiplayer trip with your friends.
I'm sure most people will also agree that the Rabbids characters are much funnier than the Mario characters and the Monkey Balls, and the activities and noises they get up to reflect this. However, comparing the mini games with the original Rabbids, most of them are more straight-forward, and I guess this is why some reviewers have said they lack the need for any skill. However, what they lack in skill they make up for in fun.
For example, running from the boulder game simply involves moving remote and nunchuk up and down as fast as you can - yes, no skill needed whatsoever - but the fact it leaves you and your friends with cramp in both your arms and in your stomach from laughter makes up for that.
Yes, the games aren't all perfect. There are a few games in the original Rabbids which are better, but looking at the whole package, I believe this sequel is much more playable and overall more fun.

Good fun
This game lacks the storyline of the first Raving Rabbids. It's lots of mini-games - some are silly and VERY short, whilst others are really great fun. Read more

Not a patch on the original
I am not a natural game player and find many games dull, too complicated or too repetitive. The original Rabbids was great fun, and the first game I have ever seen all the way... Read more
