Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 Nintendo-exclusive

Next outing of Ubisoft's loony lagomorphs will only be released on the Wii and DS this fall.
By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot
Posted May 23, 2007 9:47 am PT

While it technically starred Ubisoft's limbless mascot Rayman, the featured performers in the publisher's Rayman Raving Rabbids were without a doubt the cute-yet-criminally-insane bunnies of the title. Those with a soft spot for the freaky fuzzy critters need fret not. Yesterday, Ubisoft revealed it was working on Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Today, the French publisher unveiled the first details about the game--which will arrive exclusively on the Wii and Nintendo DS this fall.

After holding Rayman captive in his own world in the first game, the Rabbids' plans will hit a little close to home in the sequel. That's because they set their warped little minds on ruling the Earth, and at the game's outset they've established a beachhead for their interdimensional invasion in a simple shopping mall. Not one to let the Rabbids have their way, Rayman disguises himself as one of the Rabbids and attempts to thwart their plan from the inside.

Gameplay in Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 will center on 60 minigames, which will see players go around the world foiling the obnoxious-yet-adorable invaders. For more information, check out GameSpot's hands-on preview of the game's multiplayer demo.

Rayman Raving Rabbids was a moneymaker for Ubisoft on the Wii (I don't really know about the other platforms), so it's not surprising that they would follow it up quickly with another game before somebody else comes along and steals their thunder. Strike while the iron is hot, and all.

I'd like to ask ubisoft why there creating a 2nd rayman raving rabbids game. don't you think it would be better to create a platform game starring rayman like rayman 2 and 3. although i liked the first one I dont want a whole series about rabbids.

While I love the original, and I mean love, I fear that this will turn into another mario party like series.... God I hate those games.

No surprise. The original was clearly made with the Wii in mind, and was Ubi's only success on the system (thus far), so it only makes sense.

1. Why are minigames becoming so popular?
2. The Raving Rabbids series should have been a Wii exclusive from the start. When the first came out, it was only talked about on the Wii. I was surprised to find out they made other console versions.... which nobody cared about.

The first game only sold well on the Wii. No wonder why it's not going on any other platform...

Ubisoft has completely forgotten about the original concept for Rabbids.

The 1st RRR was a blast in the multiplayer department but seriously lacked single player. But was an all around fun game. Now that Ubisoft's focussing on the 1 player mode the game should be better than the 1st one. Go RRR2!

It's not too surprising. RRR seems like it's more in line with Nintendo's style. It'll be more profitable on their platforms anyways. I doubt too many 360 owners used the first to show off their systems. It's not really an "analog stick" sort of game.

Sound like it should be a lot of fun. Not really sure how many party, 4 player or more games one can own. I never bought or rented the first one, but this hopefully will have better graphics, play and maybe online. Cause I have to say I love the Bunny concept.

Well the Rabbids are the real stars of the show, the funny thing is, Rayman is a huge gaming figure, and he plays second fiddle to the rabbids!! The rabbids are fantastic but Rayman really needs a Rayman game in the same vein of old.

Awesome! Yeah, a game like this could only really be successful on the Wii, just because the motion controls are more fun than standard controls. Looking forward to this one!

Good. Something designed from the ground up for the Wii.

That's exactly what Wii needs.

Nintendo is securing some nice exclusives. It's great to see that, in heading in a new direction, they are ever drawing away from Sony and Microsoft.

Munsoned: Did you ever think perhaps that you were too close to the TV?

As a general rule, problems with Wii remotes seem to be from being too close to the TV, as you can get pretty far away and they still work fine. I don't know why the game told you to move closer though. Never done that to me.

@Hater3000

The scores given to games don't matter. They're just general numbers to go by. You need to play the games and make your own opinions about them. If PsychoDantis liked RR for the DS, then it was worth the money spent, no matter what anyone else thinks about it.
