Really Bad

Absolutely atrocious.

This game is kinda sorta fun at first, but I think I was just trying really hard to let it grow on me. 20 minutes max will prove this to be obnoxiously and utterly redundant.

Literally all the player does is repeat the simplest mini games to advance and absolutely NOTHING happens in between. I'm not kidding, the developers actually repeat cut scenes which are only replaced by slightly different ones every few "game days" (which each last 15 minutes at most of pure monotony).

Score mode is the absolute epitome of redundancy where you do the same thing over and over and over again that you originally did in story mode. There are also endless typos and some minigames seriously lack instruction (or correct instruction) and you'll find yourself wondering what the heck to do. I think the developers simultaneous smacked their heads into the keyboards as a joke and just put it out for kicks. It's that bad.

Loading screens are painstakingly annoying, and not due to waiting but the actual screen itself. Then to rub salt on the wound you see them over....and over....and over...and over.... and over again.

The game has virtully zero plot premise: Rayman is at a picnic and gets captured. He plays mini games at a colosseum, his kidnappers nicely decorate his cell as he progresses. Oh he earns plungers. That's it. Nothing ever changes then it just magically ends. It seriously should have been an xbox live arcade game at most... actually, not even that. As a matter of fact, many XBL arcade games are all over this one.

I really have a difficult time picking out the pros, there really are none. Essentially, the only challenge in this game is not falling asleep, or sometimes not throwing the controller at the system due to incredible game flaws. This game is a disgrace to the xbox hands down.

Not a party game. If you want to ruin a party . .

Then rent this game. Thoroughly disappointing. Im getting tired of these two day games with krap replay value! Do not buy!
This is the type of game that has forced my hand into renting games only. I don't buy them anymore and this game is a typical example. Although I came close to buying this game I am glad I didn't. It is so repetitious and boring that after two days of this game, especially if you beat story mode, the game is pretty much over. Score mode is so outrageously hard that the acheivements are practically unacheivable. You'll pull the 450 out of story and try for a couple hours on score mode and go, "I'm done, bye, bye, glad I didn't buy this one." Thorough waste of money. Good to rent for a weekend but two days is all you'll need to get sick of this one. Score mode would be fun but the requirements to unlock achievements is so outrageous, you might as well try and get your 10,000 kills out of Gears of War. Story mode was okay, but the repetitive game play made it feel old and tiresome real quick. I laughed a couple of times but that consisted all of but about 10 minutes worth of gameplay. Highly overrated. Don't look for anything special with this port. It is a straight port so if you played this on Wii, don't even bother picking this up.

I liked the Wii Version better just because of the feel of the Wiimote and the numchuck. So if you have the 360 and wish you had a Wii get this game it's really good.
