This game is a blast at first however the more you play it the less you will enjoy it. I believe the reason for this dislike stems from the fact that the controls are buggy in many of the games or just too touchy. The dancing game is almost unplayable in the later levels without the balance board and IS unplayable with the balance board. The one game I did not get bored of is the music game, I thought that the controls were the best in the game and i did not feel bored while playing that mini game. Overall great rental but save the 39.99 and make it just a rental.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party continues the party-game series with a new twist: television parodies. The rabbids are back in action and just as manic as ever. They send up reality television, classic movies, gameshows and extreme sports with the trademark humor of the series. It's entertaining, but it's also very familiar.
The mini-games require you to move your Wiimote and nunchuk in various ways, utilizing the analog stick, motion sensor controls and IR sensor depending on the game. From sledding on an elk down a snow-covered slalom to shooting at rabbids in chicken hats to bouncing around a side-scrolling course picking up coins, the Wii's unique controls are utilized to the fullest. And if you have a balance board, you can use that as well. Each of these games play quickly and have fun moments, making the overall experience very enjoyable.
Unfortunately, that quick pace equals a short game in single-player and a limited amount of replay value. Getting high scores will unlock accessories for your rabbids, but considering they are used for exactly one game (Pimp My Rabbid), this reward is of little use.
And sometimes, the motion sensors get in the way. The rhythm games (playing musical parts and dancing to licensed music) seem to misread some of your actions when you'd swear you're doing everything right.
The real value in this game is the multi-player. And if you have a party of four around the TV, you'll probably find the game more enjoyable.
If you've played the other raving rabbid games, you know what to expect here. It lives up to the series history, but doesn't really do anything new.

On the television this looks so fun. The first Raving rabbits was awesome. Two and Three are thrown together just to make a game. You have the same game types over and over trying to fill time slots for television. The activities are really basic and slow..but they do make a awesome use of the wii remotes with all the motions. I would have been really upset if I had to actually buy this game to see how it works.. Ok to rent but it was a waste of my week (that's how long it takes me to get a game, return it and get another one)
