Customer Reviews:

Good, but I miss a few things from Rayman 1 [Posted on 2008-08-26]
I LOVED the first Wii Rayman game. That was probably the most fun I've had on my Wii to date and I was so happy when I finished it. Being a little Rayman'ed out, I waited several months before getting Rayman 2.
It's defintely easier to play, but I miss a few things.

Pros:

1) Much faster gameply, you don't have to finish all the games to advance to the next level like in Rayman 1.

2) WAAAY better multiplayer. This is multi-player game now. I would not even bother with single player mode.

3) The shooting games are blast with the real life video in there.
And multi-player is the way to go.

4) The dancing game is not a music game. This works well for some and not so well for others. My wife was REally good at the old dance game.
On this one, she can barely score at all. On the other hand, being able to play several instruments I pretty much score 80% or better.


CONS

1) There is little to no challenge here. The games are much easier and in my opinion are not as fun as the first Rayman. I progress through the games without any feeling of achievement in finishing a level.

2) As noted. Single player stinks. I miss playing without a partner.

3) Some of the games are REALLY bad. Some are good, and there are some classics here, but most of these are so-so. I like the cell phone one the most so far. Shoot games are amazing, though.

Good Game [Posted on 2008-09-06]
I bought this for my family. It is a funny game for the family. Some of the games are a little questionable for my 2 young kids ( burping, farting games). We have fun playing it but I'm not sure I would buy it again.

Very Fun and Funny [Posted on 2008-09-08]
I am a total novice to say the least. My adult son introduced this game to me and I laughed so much playing this game. It is easy enough for me to play and still a challenge for my advanced playing son. I liked it so much , I bought it. The creativity and imagination that went into this game is fantastic and will not disappoint. It was a great buy for my husband and I. It is out and out fun.

Fun for everyone [Posted on 2008-09-11]
If you are a casual gamer, and if you like multiplayer game, this one is for you. Probably the best casual game in stores.

A goofy and fun party game [Posted on 2008-10-17]
I haven't played the original Rayman Raving Rabbids so I can't compare it to that, but this one is definitely a lot of fun. It's a great party game or game played with a group of people. It's not one of those games I would pick up and play alone, just because of the nature of it. It's meant to be enjoyed by two, three or four players. The sheer silliness of the games with things like shooting at the Rabbids with plungers makes it fun. All the mini games in it are different, some requiring little skill and some that you get better at with practice. It doesn't take a lot of deep thinking or time to just pick it up and play. I also like that some of the games get you up off the couch and moving. The music is good and I like the jukebox feature. The band games got a good laugh when we played with friends.

Based on this game I'll probably buy the original.
