Enjoyable. Generates laughter like Rayman 1.

Retiree here (retired CPA, Professor). New to gaming. Started with my Wii purchase, Dec 31, 2007). I play these games solo. Wife won't play them (other than Wii Sports-she's addicted to that one). I'm really enjoying Rayman 1, so I purchased this one. I find this game more relaxing than Rayman 1, because it's easier to progress. If I was a hard core gamer, I'd be dissapointed. I enjoy playing in the different countries.

I am 60+, have difficulty progressing in Rayman 1, and am often frustrated. Currently bogged down in the hedgehog race. I would recommend both games for seniors. They help maintain hand/eye coordination, sense of timing, and both make you burst out laughing-if you enjoy the slapstick silly stuff. I do. My wife doesn't. I think younger children will find Rayman 2, easier to play. I'm not a hunter, but there's something about shooting rabbits with plungers, that makes your troubles go away. Own: Rayman 1 and 2. 4x4 World Circuit-another Ubisoft game. Excite Truck. Endless Ocean. Links Crossbow. Wii Play. Only Wii Play has dissapointed.

Great Solo Play and Better Party Game

If you enjoyed the first Rayman Raving Rabbids game, have cheer! The second game is back with more mini-game fun that's fun for single players as well as groups.

You really don't care about the premise in these games, but here is is. You go to different parts of the globe and are trying to learn to "act like the locals". In usual quite tongue-in-cheek fashion these activities are completely non-PC. For example, while exploring the US you do things like yap incessantly on the phone in a movie theater, or whack your kids for acting up on a road trip.

What makes the game great is that every mini-game uses the Wii in a different manner - and they're all quite fun. You're "spider rabbit" soaring along a city street. Being a Rock Band fanatic, I love the rock band part where you play along on drums, brass, guitar or mic on flower power songs.

As you move along through the world, you unlock new games, new costumes, and much more. My boyfriend loves the plunger shooting games. I like the music games. If you play with young kids, you can easily find many games that are great fun to play together. If you've got a group of adults over, it's just as fun with them.

The graphics are very well done. Yes, this is a Wii and hot a high-def PS3 or 360, but even so, when you look at the detail in the leaves on the trees or the cracks in the city streets, it's really hard to complain. They do an awesome job here with the capabilities of the Wii. The sound is just as good - the right balance between cartooney fun and realistic noises.

On one hand, I'm sure every person can pick out a certain mini-game and say "I really don't like X". However, I bet you I could easily find another 10 people who adore that game.

Another caveat is that some of the games get a bit *too* silly. In one game the characters eat a lot of chili and therefore "fart" themselves along a path. If you're easily offended, you might not enjoy this.

Still, if you've got a good sense of humor, this game has a lot to offer! Highly recommended.

Very Disappointed

We were anxiously awaiting the follow on release for the original Rabbids, anticipating play similar to the first release. Instead of a story line treat, we were tricked with a bunch of mini games. While the graphics are better, the play is poor, the mini games not nearly as fun. If you like disjoint mini games, you might like this one. If you like a story line, no matter how weak, then this will definitely disappoint.

So Sad

I loved the first Raving Rabbids game, and when the 2nd came out I was chomping at the bit to buy it. Boy was that a waste of chomping.

I didnt like much of anything about this game really. The layout's completely different, the short games are extremely short and easy...there's no score to beat to move on to the next round. So even if you get 0 for your score it still progresses you in the story. Something else that was really disappointing with the short games was that if you found a one you really liked you didn't have the option to replay it right then. Instead you had to keep moving through the story line. That was just pathetic to me.

The dance portion is also completely different from the 1st one and is not nearly as much fun....not to me anyways. The shooting games are moved to the plaza section and have to be unlocked. I did think they were kind of fun at least AND you had the option of replaying them.

All-in-all I was pretty let down with this follow up game and am planning to get rid of this one to go back to playing the first game.

A review for adults buying gifts

Note: I have yet to play this game (though I intend to) and am presenting this review as a parent advising other potential buyer parents/adults. My 8.5 y.o. son LOVES this game. On the first night he played it he played for hours and laughed harder than I have ever heard him laugh while playing a game or watching most TV shows. He's a tough customer and generally loves all things Pokemon. This game seems to have similar elements to Pokemon and Animal Crossing: WW in that you collect clothing, etc. and get to customize your character. It also has some Mario Party aspects with the minigames. So, if your child (or you) like any of those games, you're bound to like this one. Also, the music minigames had great classic songs and were fun to watch.

Disappointing Compared To 1st Game -- Unless You Want Party Game

I just loved the first Rayman Raving Rabbids game and was so excited to get the second one. But everything I liked about the first one (clear goals that you had to win to move on, challenging games like "Bunnies Don't Close Doors" mixed with easy fun games, the hilarity of the rabbids and the sound effects, the dancing) were all missing from the second game--which is very heavily multiplayer-oriented to the detriment of the game, I believe. I think the games in this version are too easy and somewhat repetitive. It didn't seem so much like a challenge. Also, the dancing portion was turned into a "band jam" and it just wasn't as gratifying. Although the first game was much more "one player" oriented, my husband and I took turns trying to complete the various tasks and it worked really well that way as you truly felt a sense of accomplishment after getting through some of the games. Plus it was absurdly satisfying to get Rayman's cell all decorated as the game progressed. I was hoping for "more of the same" with this game and thought it was dumbed down.

Better Than the First!

While RRR2 has fewer mini-games, they are funnier and better designed than the first. It also features a hilarious opening sequence of the rabbid's "super secret" headquarters (a shopping mall). This game is much more fun if you have other people to play it with. You can play solo, which is still fun, but not quite as exciting. Unlike the first game, you can play new mini games with a group (instead of unlocking them in single player, then switching over to score mode). The live action camera work in the shooting games is stunning, and the rest of the game seems to have better graphics. This is my favorite Wii game (more enjoyable than Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or Sonic), and is great for parties. This game has gotten worse reviews than the first, but don't listen to anyone else! Buy this game!

The only flaw:
Rayman still doesn't run in wide-screen mode.

What a let down

This game is a total let down. After the first game which had at least some kind of point to it, this game just seems to be a gathering of mini games where you cannot lose. What is the point of that???

Boring as heck. I loved the first one. If you did, don't bother with this one. It is terrible.

VERY good game but...

This is a very good game for a lot of people, but if you are the type of person who likes a game that occupies your time for a while, this is NOT the game for you. There are only 7 trips of 6 minigames each, and then, boom, you're done. If you have many people over a lot, then get this game. The minigames are excellent, the graphics very good, and if you're a person that likes to unlock everything, this game will take you a pretty long, but manageable, time. Also, if you're a person that gets entertained easily, this is a good game, with lots of neat, little, thing to do for a bit of time. If they make a RRR3, they should put in a story mode where you're Raymond and you can still do trips, but the shooting mode has more depth.

Suffers the same as most sequels...

I loved Raving Rabbids 1 and this game is fun, but it isn't the same. The tasks you need to complete are WAY to easy. The first game at least offered a challenge...so far, we are just blowing through this game very quickly. It does as a better element of multi-player than the first so I can see it as a great party game. The rabbids themselves are still as adorable and funny as ever so it helps to save the overall playability of the game.
