Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for Wii Reviews by Gamers

Rabbids 2 is what a sequel should be, improvement on the original. In the game the developer listened to what people complained about with the first game and fixed it. Not enough real multiplayer games, fixed. Can’t share your scores online with other people automatically, fixed. Can’t make your own set of minigames, fixed.
The basic premise of the game is that the Rabbids have entered the human world. All of the mini games are mocking popular culture in one way or another. You have one minigame where you play an Indiana Jones type character out running a giant boulder. You have another where you are spider bunny and have to shoot webs and jump from buildings.

The two most popular minigames in the original where the shooting and dance numbers. The developers have gone back and expanded on both of them as well as put them in their own area so you can access them quickly. The dance version in rabbids 2 puts players in the place of band members. Each player plays an instrument via rock band style. There are 4 instruments total each one with a different difficulty. I was thrilled they added that because in the previous game I didn’t stand a chance against others because I suck at rhythm games.

Then there are the shooting games. As the theme of this game is the rabbids taking over the human world, the developers decided to take the real world and use it as backgrounds. The result is very convincing of the rabbids taking over the real world. My main complaint about the new shooting games is the length. Not that they are too short, but quite the opposite. They are too long. I found that after playing one round my arm would get tired.

So what is the bottom line about this game . Should you get it? Honestly if you have other people you play with on a regular basis, then yes buy it . If you aren’t a huge fan of the rabbids and like to play alone, you might just want to rent it.
