Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Rayman steps back into the limelight as he's brought in to protect the world from evil alien… rabbits? One of gaming's most beloved platform stars returns in a mini-game collection that makes Wario Ware seem sane.The lowdown:
Apart from Mario, most other attempts from platform heroes to branch out into other genres has usually ended up in abject failure. Overseen by the series' creator though this features 80 of the weirdest party games ever conceived, including hammer throwing with cows and squirting rabbids with water to keep the door shut on them while they're in the toilet. Not all of the games are as short and simple as that though as this also includes various racing missions, a fully fledge flight game and ten different first person shoot 'em-up levels. Although each mini-game is introduced with a frequently amusing cut scene there's also a fully fleshed out multiplayer mode for most of them, including the shoot 'em-up levels where you get to play as either Rayman or one of the Rabbids. Most exciting moment:
Whenever you complete a game in the story mode you can replay it any time via the replay mode. When playing the game like this you also get to dress Rayman up in an unlikely range of clothing, from afro wig to flared jeans and winged collars. It's not just for show either as it increases the likelihood you'll get a love letter from the Rabbids in the audience of each game! Since you ask:
The Rayman series was created by Michel Ancel, France's most celebrated game designer. As well as the first two Rayman games he was also responsible for Tonic Trouble, the award winning Beyond Good & Evil and celebrated movie tie-in Peter Jackson's King Kong. The bottom line:
Rayman's jump from platforms to mini-games is no misstep.-HARRISON DENT

 Forgotten gem December 11, 2006

This must surely be the most under-rated game of the Wii launch. While everyone is picking up Zelda, I fear this game is being forgotten, and it really, really shouldn't. I haven't had this much fun playing a game on my own for years, and multi-player - probably ever. It's just all-round silliness and you will find yourself constantly laughing at the daft situations, sound effects and evil bunnies (lots of them!). The mini-games all make fantastic use of the Wiimote, and each in a different way. Some require real physical effort, something unheard of for most games, but as the previous reviewer concluded, this makes beating the games even more pleasing. This is a game that everyone can play and really epitomises what the Wii is about: fun and easy for everyone to join in.
This is worth buying a Wii for on its own. If this is the future of gaming with the Wiimote, we have a bright Wii future ahead of us.

Our lastest acquisition for our Wii. This has had a big thumbs up from all the family from the grandkids to the grandparents. I cannot begin to tell you how funny it is to see my parents - late eighties - swinging a Wii remote above their heads to shotput a cow across a field - hilarious and they other half trying to zap Rabbids on the dancefloor in tune to the beat with a nunchuck in one hand and the remote in the other - priceless - especially as we've now found out he has two left hands to go with his two left feet!
The grandkids said they couldn't decide which was the most fun - playing the game or watching our antics trying to play it - cheekie little ~~~~
It's fun, it's nuts and definitely worth having in your collection.
Very funny December 27, 2006

I thought this game might have been too childish and so initially didn't consider buying it and then I had the chance to play it at a friend's house. It was so much fun I just had to buy the game.
There are so many varied mini games and if you get a group of people around it is so funny watching them play.
This game makes full use of the Wii's unique control system using both the nunchuck and Wiimote. Simple enough to play and yet still challenging for all age groups. So much fun.
The only real issue I have is that you have to play single player games first to unlock the multi-player games but it is only a minor issue.
This really is one of the must have games for the Wii.
Absolutely superb! December 11, 2006

Getting my Wii on Friday I go the package from ToysRUs. Not the best package but not too bad. Got Call of Duty 3 which was far more like it. On returning to the store I got Rayman - Raving Rabbids. Hearing good results.
Well if you have a Wii and wonder where the superb graphics and explotation of the new controllers is - well it's in Rayman! Superb graphics, awesome gameplay - this is what the Wii was about. Great fun, playable from the start - gets harder nice and steady.
Mental to the last - from cow throwing to the great disco challenges. Taking advantage of the Wii control like no othe rgame has - this is a game the whole family will love. Good party levels for up to 4 players. Simply brilliant. If you have a Wii - and you haven't got this then put it back in the box - you haven't give it a chance to show off yet!
Perfect use of Wii's abilities July 16, 2007

This is the game to get to show off what the Wii and it's innovative control system can do. You will need a remote & nunchuck for each player.
Excellent fun for a very wide age range (works for all our family from 6 year old to thirty-somethings). Not-really-violent shoot-em-up elements taking potshots at barmy rabbit with sink plungers will keep you grinning and coming back regularly to pick off those bunnies that nip off screen before you could get them. Hammer-throwing dinosaur-type animals and banging things over the head with spades will make your arms ache.
So many different mini-games to test you in many different ways - you will not be disappointed with this game.
