A couple of the racing games are mediocre, but a downhill slalom on an upturned yak – beastie boarding, as the rabbids call it – is an entertaining skit on the SSX-style stunt racer. There’s some reasonably and familiar music, and if the versions aren’t original, they’re at least performed with a certain Raving Rabbid energy. New dancing and rhythm action games also work well, the latter involving some hectic waving of remote and nunchuk to simulate the moves being shown onscreen, and being probably as much fun to watch as humiliating to play. The shooting gallery games have always been highpoints of the series, and the ones included here are probably the best the Raving Rabbids have thrown up. We get a few duffers, with a series of mini-games reliant on rapidly drawing lines and symbols on the screen being particularly irritating, but also a few crackers. Well, as with any party game, the mini-games are a bit of a mixed bunch, but generally the strike rate is much higher than your average compilation. Really, that’s all there is to it.īut then, what more do you need? As long as the mini-games come thick and fast and provide enough entertainment, that’s really all you ask for from a game in this genre.

Thirdly, it has its own distinctive style and quirky character. Secondly, it’s actually playable as a single-player game, meaning you won’t necessarily put it away as soon as January 1st rolls around. First, it’s a follow-up to one of the original Wii party games, and so has a certain amount of pedigree. Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, however, has a lot more to recommend it than most entries in the genre. Unfortunately, the vast majority just aren’t any good, being personality-free mini-game collections which play like the video-gaming equivalent of a tin of cheap Christmas chocolates: for every tasty morcel there’s another that gums up your teeth or makes you grimace with mild disgust. Well, if there’s anything the Wii has no shortage of, it’s party games. But what do you do if you’re tired of Wii Sports, bored with Wii Play and not keen on the sound of Wii Music?

Also included are first-person shooting stages inspired by the film, Night of the Living Dead. Those without a Wii Balance Board won't have to miss out, as the accessory is optional. Players will sit on the board to race on a snow-capped mountain, stand on it to mimic exercise poses, go surfing in space, and more. New to this installment is support for the Wii Balance Board in addition to the system's standard motion-driven controls. Once again Wii owners will partake in themed activities that poke fun at television, movies, and other aspects of pop culture.
