GC 2007: Ubisoft & Games for Everyone

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (Wii & DS, November)

The Rabbids return with a vengeance, plotting to take over the world from a shopping mall! Disguised as a Rabbid, Rayman once again attempts to put a stop to their crazy plans… Cue 60 brand new games with more emphasis on four-player events (both co-op and competitive).

In Bicycle Race one player pedals with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk while his team mate steers the bike uphill with a Wii Remote held sideways. Meanwhile, throwing water at your opponents’ bike will keep them at bay. Naturally, irreverent humour abounds. A burping contest on top of the Arc of Triumph anyone?

Music plays an even bigger part this time around, with the Wii Remote taking over guitar, drums and mic tasks. Online leaderboards and customizable Rabbids that can be shared with the world make the icing on the rabbid pie. This time around, the DS version follows its Wii brother much closer with over 36 mini-games inspired by similar events, and Touch Screen and microphone used for rocking it out with the Rabbids. -Nintendo
