Game Overview
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 looks and plays virtually the same as it did before which means that at times the game gets quite tedious. 50 mini games have been thought up and thrown in to the game but there is something about them that doesn't quite cut it like the original.

Multiplayer is definitely the emphasis with this sequel and you'll find that some of the mini games are a lot more enjoyable when playing in multiplayer due to the fact that more happens. One mini game requires you to take some food over to the "Godfather" Rabbid, you are required to balance the tray whilst walking to the table however other characters on screen will bump in to you to put you off balance which obviously makes the game that little bit more challenging, that’s on multiplayer. On single player, those characters there to put you off, disappear! A big let down and something we can't really get our heads around. Little things like that do disappoint quite a bit.

The game is more of a carry on than a built from the ground up sequel, the storyline kind of follows on (if you can call it a storyline) and everything looks the same. Ubisoft have added some unlockable features and now makes use of the Wii's Wi-Fi so you can check the scoreboards and compare yourself against other gamers, there is no online play though. Not that it would be all that fun anyway!

The humor within the game is still apparent and will make you chuckle at times but it does get a little long in the tooth, and along with some very frequently used sound clips it won't take long for you to become a little bored whilst reaching for the remote to turn the sound down.

Our Conclusions
Rayman is still a brilliant and legendary character in gaming, the predicted "sequel" is still good fun to play and very enjoyable with mates but single player is virtually pointless and very tedious. Some of the games look a little rough and the sound is just down right annoying at times. It's not as good as the original, that's for sure but at the same time if you are looking for a couple of hour’s entertainment with some friends then there isn't many better games out there. It's a weekend hire game at best.

Overall Score: 6/10
