Rayman Raving Rabbids Sequel Brings Bunnies to Your Holiday Season!

If you played Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii, or on the DS, you will love this sequel. This sequel really shines with the ds touch screen features, and is just as fun as the first version for the Wii. And it's light years better than then original for the DS.

Starting off with 3 country locations on your map of the world, you go through 6 mini games per location. You have to achieve enough points through either getting excellent scores or multiple replay of games, to unlock the other locations. If you played the Wii version, you will recognize some of your favorite games, such as bunnies stuck in bathrooms.

There are also great (but gross) new additions, like spitting carrots into another bunny's drink while he's not looking, and the several challenges that involve your bunny having a great sense of balance. You really do need to be sharp with your hand/eye coordination to play this game. If you aren't, you will definitely get some great practice towards it!

You can also unlock cool clothes, backdrops, and interactive toys for your traveling bunny. One of the interactive toys uses the microphone features, while others just engage the touch screen. The backdrops are just blank to color in, but nothing really fun. The clothes and accessories are probably the best of the three things, since these travel with your bunny throughout all the challenges, making him (or her) your true creation.

For those of you who loved doing the music games on the Wii, there is a mini version for the DS! You will not be disappointed, but you still may be tempted to tap your feet in time to the music while you play!

Once you get through all the challenges in each country and the credits roll, you will have a chance to play all the games for top scores instead of just hitting a time limit. There are bronze, silver, and gold medals to earn. This is perfect for the gamer who wants to know what scores are considered highest by the makers of the game.

The only downside to this is that it's highly addictive. I spent almost 4 hours playing it the first day. I had a crink in my neck, and my hands were sore, but it was worth it.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is a great holiday buy if you loved the original, or you know someone who does. Put it on your holiday list or get it for someone else!
