Not bad at all.

After the lackluster review gamespot gave the game I was a little worried that buying it for my family was a mistake. I wanted to pick up a few games for the past weekend and most everything else was sold out. I popped it in and played along with my 2 kids (5 and 12) and quickly found it was a nice change from the mario party series. The games are easy, quick and fair as far as the scoring system goes. In the mario party series I never liked the fact that winning the mini games does almost nothing to better your winning chances. It was still laid out as a board game with luck dice and this was not. If you enter the "trip" mode you play games that fall along that countries theme. Playing round after round until the last which is a music rythm based game to celebrate the end of the voyage. This really put the smile on my kids faces, some were hard for them and others not but it seemed to even out at the end. Another nice addition is the winning of costume parts to change up the rabbids (or single rayman) and dress them up as you see fit.
Overall the graphic style is sharp and clean, the sound is good and the game comes with a truck load of charm. In one particular mini game you beat a patient on an operating table with a sausage to sedate them. This kind of off the wall humor is really fun. Another feature that can be unlocked is a shooting mode, in which you use the Wii remote as a gun and shoot the rabbids as they terrorize a particular city. One cool thing about this is the backgrounds / world they run around is photo-realistic, and it actually makes it kind of cool to play through. Although it does get a touch boring.

I liked it, I gotta say its not something your going to play non-stop for days on end. But adding it into your rotation of family games is well worth it.
