It all depends on your scores and style of play. As you step into the arena, you'll immediately notice that the stands can be jam-packed with rabbits, cheering or booing. You enter an arena, choose a sport and try out a mini-game until you emerge triumphant with a satisfying score.

But, that's just me.Įssentially, the game is quite simple. In fact, these long-eared cabbage-munching loonies creep me out, with their beady eyes and psychotic cries. Although it may sound cruel, believe me that they deserve every single punch, throb, stab or whack.

As luck would have it, most events consist of clobbering, poking or slapping tiny bunnies. Luckily, he'll get a chance to set his friends free by participating in the wackiest challenges ever conceived by man or bunny. Unfortunately, Rayman also got captured and is forced to do some porridge, so to speak. Rayman enters a world where a bizarre race of crazed rabbits is keeping a great number of his closest friends captive. This time around, the entire experience is focused on completing a series of 'challenges' (which is just a fancy term for "mini-game"), involving kicking and pushing bunnies around. So, the usual action-flavored platformesque gameplay, like the one we've witnessed in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, is just not in there. The first distinctive trait, separating this game from earlier iterations of Rayman, is the absence of classic platform-jumping elements, which were always a trademark of Ubisoft's popular series. They are sinister, mean little buggers who are out to get you if you're not quick enough. Mind you, they're not just your everyday carrot-chewing rabbits either. We are happy to welcome back our favorite limbless hero, Rayman, who embarks upon a completely new journey, which, yes, largely has to do with rabbits. Rayman's creator, Michel Ancel, reprises his role as lead designer for this offbeat installment in the successful platform game series.

Player can hitch rides atop spiders, sharks, and other animals while exploring an assortment of colorful, free-roaming environments. The character is joined by a number of creature comrades, many of which can be ridden to help traverse treacherous areas or to combat the rabbit regime. Players will control a revamped Rayman who wears outlandish outfits from different eras, including a purple afro and '70s-style threads, to further enhance his powers. Ubisoft's limbless mascot returns for his most unusual adventure yet, one that involves saving the world from a wacky warren of demonic bunnies.
