Rayman Raving Rabbids

Rayman Raving Rabbids is the fourth major installment in the popular Rayman series, and was a launch title for Nintendo's Wii console. The game's development was led by Michel Ancel, the original creator of Rayman, at Ubisoft's Montpellier studio. The game was brainstormed while Montpellier worked on the King Kong video game, and began full development shortly after King Kong went gold.

The game consists of more than 70 'trials' which aim to make innovative and varied use of the Wii's unique controller. There are two main gameplay styles: Story Mode (which unlocks the trials) and Score Mode (which unlocks challenges and bonus material). The minigames can be replayed in Score Mode to better one's score or compete against other players either in multiplayer or through the use of a "web code" system for online standings at Ubisoft's Rayman website.

Features:

There are two different modes of play in Raving Rabbids: Story Mode and Score Mode.

In Story Mode, the game follows fifteen days of Rayman's imprisonment. Each day, Rayman must complete at least three trials, followed by one special 'boss trial', such as an FPS or a racing game. Completing trials earns Rayman plungers. When he accumulates enough of these, he can build a ladder up the edge of his jail cell and escape to freedom. Completing trials also earns Rayman different music and costumes.

In Score Mode, a player can repeat past trials in an attempt to improve one's score or as a multiplayer party game. Rayman can change his appearance to reflect those of punk, pop, rock, granny, gangster, and others.
