I like the Rabbids. The original Rabbids game on the Wii was filled with charm, humour and a passable mini-collection. Sure alot of the mini-games were just altered vesions of the same idea, but I laughed while executing them, thanks to the energetic cast of bunny-lings tripping, screaming, singing and exploding in their own special way.
Rabbids Travel in Time 3D is just as passable as its heritage, but purely devoid of charm and originality. If i had to make an analogy, its like drinking a glass of your favorite soda gone flat. Its still Dr.Pepper, but where's the fizz? Answer, not in this glass.
Foregoing the usual mini-game formula, RTiT 3D makes a stab at platforming. And this is classic platforming. You run right, leap gaps, collect coins and avoid obstacles. Everything functions as promised. You won't swear at the controls or blame the game design for any foul-ups, and thats a good thing, because its the only leg this game is standing on.
The concept involvs our Rabbid friends performing their usual grace upon a generic museum exibit when a washing machine or dryer appears unnanounced from the air. Being the curious rodents they are, our Rabbid friends fight thier way inside the bottom loader. When your screaming nutball climbs in the door shuts and your spirited off into pre-history for said platforming.
And here lies the biggest complaint. Through all four historical periods, you never feel as though your playing in the time periods. There are shaky floating platforms in each timeline, the same killer green smog, the same pendulum spike, same enemies (raabbids dressed up). And you never feel like your behind the wheel of one of the titular rabbids. No screaming, no antics, no fun
It is painfully boring. A test of humility to see the credits role. And while I finished the game, I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone.
