Summary

Rayman Raving Rabbids marks the return of the iconic video-game hero Rayman in his funniest and zaniest adventure ever. Gamers take control of Rayman as he fights the Rabbid invasion to restore peace to the world in two brand new action adventures for GBA and DS. Each handheld console version boasts an original story exclusive to the platform. In the GBA game the player must help Rayman search for magical costumes that will grant him the powers to fight the Rabbids. In the DS game the player controls Rayman and his powerful otherworld avatars, the Guardians, and together they will battle the mischievous Rabbids. [Ubisoft]

Nintendo Power

The game is far from perfect, but it fills a niche for those wanting a fun and funny 2-D platformer on the DS. [Apr 2007, p.85]

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

It doesn't do anything so spectacularly well that you must own a copy. [June 2007, p.96]

Nintendojo

A fun and energetic game that works well as a platformer, but horribly as a showcase. The game controls well, but has many graphical problems.

NGamer UK

With rabbids like this who needs enemies? Solid but very average platformer starring a fairly unresponsive hero. Still, the music's quite cheerful when it's not driving you mental.

IGN

What saves this product is the gameplay. Sure, there are some silly touch screen intermissions, but there's a solid game hidden amongst the ugliness, from the fun traditional platforming elements to the original Yoshi's Touch 'n Go inspired touch-screen challenges.

Play.tm

A hackneyed title with a series of touch screen controls tacked-on. It feels like there's only one thing left to say: better luck next time, Rayman.

Games Radar (in-house)

The biggest let-down? Easily the graphics, which are full of chunky shapes and primitive, basic textures and colors that wouldn’t look out of place on the original PlayStation.

Pocket Gamer UK

The presentation is great and there's lots packed in, but the core platforming of Rayman Raving Rabbids is unfulfilling.

GameSpot

There's a functional, if utterly unremarkable, platformer to be found in Raving Rabbids on the DS.

Games Master UK

When it does work it's dull and when it tries something new it fails miserably. [June 2007, p.69]

GameSpy

If you have the means, then for goodness sake, stick with the Wii version of Raving Rabbids. It's a far more enjoyable (and prettier) experience.

1UP

The constant switching between three types of gameplay just means you'll never really get into any of them, and the hilariously crazy Rabbid characters of the console versions are sparse and disappointingly tame when they do pop up.

Cheat Code Central

While the Wii version is an oddly enjoyable experience, the DS version is a complete disappointment.

Bob S. gave it a2:
This is a depressingly generic platformer that provides no compelling reason to play past the first level. There is at least one between-level mini game whose sole purpose is to fill time; I had more fun doing my taxes. The single bright note: the soundtrack is actually pretty good but this is by no means a saving grace. Stay away.
