Rayman Raving Rabbids


France's biggest hero is imprisoned, and that's not even the funniest part

What if the hero didn't save the day? What if, instead, he was hoodwinked and mocked by his captors? If Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii is any indication, the resulting forecast would be partly innovative with a 95% chance of hilarity. However, the PC version - while the same game - ditches all innovation and plays like a mediocre mini-game-a-thon on your rig.

Rayman is a prisoner of the insane Rabbids - evil animals that are one part Bugs Bunny, and one part Sloth from The Goonies. He's made to compete in twisted, gladiator-style minigames that demonstrates the humor of Ubisoft's designers.

Using the mouse to move the reticule is a no-brainer, but whether you're tapping keys on a keyboard or buttons on a joystick, you're still left without the Wii version's more natural scheme.

The percentage of crummy games is low, but a Labyrinth-style marble maze and a bathroom door-slamming marathon are among them. Thankfully, the ones you see most often - on-rails shooting with a plunger gun and rhythmic disco dancing - are among the best.
