Raving Rabbid Figures, Now Yours To Buy (News)

Sep 4, 2008

Kotaku writes: "Earlier this year, Crecente got hold of some delightful little Raving Rabbids figures from Ubisoft. Figures I tried to swipe, before he smacked the back of my hand and sand "no, naughty". Well fuck you, Crecente, you and your patronising hand-slapping. I'll just go buy my own, because Ubisoft have announced that the figures - made by NECA - will soon be made available to the public. What's more, there'll be five figures available: the four we've already seen (Sam Fisher, Prince, Altair and vanilla Rabbid) plus a new one, the screaming/plunger-wielding Rabbid, which you can see (along with the classy packaging) after the jump."

Raving Rabbids does 'tennis girl' (News)

Jul 4, 2008

Rafael Nadal's savaging of sole Brit Wimbledon hope Andy Murray may have disappointed the UK tennis fans somewhat (come on, we all knew it was going to happen) but we've still got a weekend of racquet sports to look forward to. Ie. the inevitable Federer/Nadal face-off that we witnessed a year ago.

And that's the only Wimbledon-related preamble you're going to get out of us - if you want sports punditry go and look at the BBC ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (Review)

Nov 19, 2007

Nov 19, 2007 Having had last Christmas ruined by a soundtrack of manic rabbid wails emitting from the family Wii, we were dreading the sequel. And by the minigame-anthology laws laid down by Mario Party, this should have been worse than the first. Only, by some small Christmas miracle, its not. Gone is the Neanderthal focus on aimless controller peddling, replaced with a whole host of game ideas. Just five minutes of play can see gesture mimicking to ride a mechanical bull, memory games to ...

Surfer Girl reveals some dirty laundry of Ubisoft and Nintendo with the stories of:

Â¿ How the marketing and executive types in Ubisoft have turned the development of Red Steel 2 into a "nightmare."

Â¿ How Nintendo tried to sabotage Rayman Raving Rabbits 2 so that the third-party title from Ubisoft would not compete with Nintendo's own Super Mario Galaxy.

Ubisoft Overhauls Rabbids 2's Shooter Stages (News)

Oct 24, 2007

Some of IGN's favorite stages from Ubisoft's surprise Wii hit, Rayman Raving Rabbids, were those which employed on-rails shooting challenges. In their review of the title, they wrote that the linear, but fun creations could probably power an entire game. Well, Ubisoft hasn't gone quite that far, but it has invested more time and effort into the presentation of these selections for the official sequel, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

The shooter stages are back and you'll still use the Wii remote to fire not-so-deadly plungers at the critters as they run, fly, dig, jump and swim through the environments. However, you'll be able to notice right off the bat that the locations in question look much more realistic. That's because they actually are real.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 - hands-on (Preview)

Sep 24, 2007

Love them or loathe them, if you were even remotely interested in Wii this time last year there was no way you could have ignored Rayman and his terrifying Rabbid chums. The original game was probably the most high profile Wii launch title except for Wii Sports and Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and although we weren't all that taken with it at the time, it proved to be a big success for Ubisoft. The sequel, we're happy to report, fixes practically everything we found annoying about the ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 to remain a Wii Exclusive (News)

Jul 25, 2007

Unlike the first game in the series Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 will not be making the hop to other consoles. The original game which was originally built for Wii had ports on the PS2 and Xbox 360 and while the first game wasn't the best, the non-Wii versions were even worse without the addition the Wii controller brings. The latest issue of Nintendo power covers the game extensively and has an interview with Ubisoft on the matter.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 - hands-on (Preview)

May 23, 2007

Outside of Nintendo, not many developers seem to understand the power of the Wii. In fact, most of the system's games last year were nothing more than greedy afterthoughts - titles clearly designed for another console, but then married clumsily to some motion sensitive controls and re-released to sell more copies. One of the rare exceptions to that trend was Rayman Raving Rabbids, a non-Nintendo party game so bizarre and so interactive that it could only work on the Wii. Indeed, when Ubisoft ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 Confirmed for Nintendo Wii, DS (News)

May 23, 2007

Video Game Generation reports that Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 will reportedly be released later this year, and focus more on Rayman's efforts to stop the Rabbid invasion of Earth. Ubisoft is also aiming to make it funnier than the first title, and will include support for up to four simultaneous players.

Rabbids Raving again (News)

May 23, 2007

Wednesday 23 May 07 They're back - the mentalist, buck toothed lunatics the Rabbids are returning to videogaming, and striking an attack on Earth, having left Rayman's world. It's for Wii, we've got the first (non game) shots right here, the first footage will be right along in no time, and it's all going to be absolutely insane when it launches later this year. Just as we like it, ...

Rayman's Rabbids Ready Their Return (News)

May 19, 2007

Rayman Raving Rabbids gets itself a sequel. The first consisted of loads of minigames, and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 looks set to give us more of the same.

Ubisoft promises that the Rabbids will be given a more detailed background than last time, with a narrative all about their training for world domination (Set in their top-secret camp, situated under a shopping centre) that Rayman infiltrates. Obviously, this will entail many more minigames, and lots of shaking and pointing.
