The Onion (A.V. Club)
For those with a twisted sense of humor or just a serious case of attention deficit disorder, Raving Rabbids is not to be missed.
Read Full Review >AtomicGamer
Even if there aren't any kids in your household, you owe it to yourself to pick this one up if you've got a Wii.
Read Full Review >Gaming Target
A huge demo machine that manages to show gamers what the controller is capable of while providing an entertaining single-player and multiplayer mode.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
The game is almost fully realized although it suffers from some repetition, but that gives it room for improvement. I will patiently be awaiting "Rayman Raving Rabbids 2."
Read Full Review >Game Almighty
If every mini-game collection was as solid and cohesive as this one, it would be a beautiful time to be a mini-gamer.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
Lowbrow humor aside, Raving Rabbids still succeeds in being a far more compelling party game than a lot of its competition on the Wii.
Read Full Review >Deeko
I enjoyed the many mini-games I played, had a great time watching these little punk bastards suffer at my expense and loved thrusting plungers in their furry little faces. I would have like a bit more of a multiplayer challenge and some of the mini-games are less than fun, but on the whole, I rose up and took down as many Rabbids as possible.
Read Full Review >Console Gameworld
In terms of quality of minigames, Raving Rabbids is probably the best the party game genre has ever seen.
Read Full Review >Game Informer
This is one of the funniest games ever made, and a fantastic way to teach yourself the controls of the Wii while simultaneously charming friends into understanding why you just spent a few hundred dollars on this new game system.
Read Full Review >Play Magazine
Raving Rabbids is at its best as a single-player game performed solo or in front of onlookers unaware of Montpellier's twisted sense of humor or what the heck a "Wii" is. [Jan. 2007, p.66]
GameZone
Whoever thought the word “masterpiece” could ever be in the same sentence as “mini-game”?
Read Full Review >eToychest
Anyone who puts a few minutes with Rayman will have a hard time walking away without having smiled or laughed, and given that the bulk of the gameplay is so incredibly infectious simply adds up to one of the best launch offerings for the Wii.
Read Full Review >IC-Games
After countless releases Rayman has finally got a foothold in our hearts. It might become largely forgotten once we finally get our teeth into "Wario Ware: Smooth Moves" but for now it’s the party game of choice only slightly bettered by "Wii Sports" and "Super Monkey Ball" for sheer enjoyment on the Wii.
Read Full Review >IGN
The experience is still engaging and addictive and the title's sense of humor is in a league of its own. It is almost unfair to label this effort a Rayman game because the real stars of the project are the bunnies, whose blank faces and inevitable agonized screams will make you laugh over and over again.
Read Full Review >GamingExcellence
A great compilation of mini-games, some of which have actual depth, and an infectious sense of frenzy and humor make this an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a Wii title that will flaunt and justify their new hardware purchase.
Read Full Review >GamerNode
If you're looking for a game which truly showcases what the Wii is all about, or if you're looking for a game to match your own twisted sense of humor, you'd do yourself a disservice by not picking up Raving Rabbids.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
With innovative use of the Wii-mote and some pretty stylish graphics and sound, this game is definitely worth the price of admission.
Read Full Review >Gamer 2.0
If you're looking for a fun demonstration of what the Wii controller can do, a strong party game, or just a game to have a good laugh over, Rayman Raving Rabbids is a great choice.
Read Full Review >Digital Entertainment News
I know a lot of people will feel there are better uses for their new game system than a minigame collection, but I also know that many of these same people will be having a blast with their family playing Wii Sports during the holidays.
Read Full Review >PALGN
A great introduction to the Wii’s unique abilities and a party game most people will enjoy. The bunnies are the real stars of the game, and are its main source of humour and interest.
Read Full Review >G4 TV
Hitting bunnies on the heads with shovels – Yeah, it’s as awesome as it sounds. Don’t worry, they have super thick skulls.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
One can only hope that a sequel will improve on certain issues, such as a few clunky mini-games that eat away at the fun factor, but overall, for the sense of humor, entertaining presentation, and the online scoreboards, Rayman is the winner in this launch battle.
Read Full Review >AceGamez
Following through on a game plan of innovation and entertainment, they stuffed the game to the brim with personality.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
More than just Mario Party with a different mascot, Rayman Raving Rabbids makes great use of the Wii technology to create a bizarrely enjoyable minigame collection.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
What you'd expect from a Wii launch game: It gives you a sampler platter of uses for the console's new tech, with plenty of exaggerated movements and bite-sized variety that's best in small doses.
Read Full Review >Times Online
The characters are just as brilliantly executed, with a range of facial expressions, voices and movements that would do any animator proud.
Read Full Review >Game Over Online
If you are a fan of mini-games, then Rayman Raving Rabbids is easy to recommend. Though some games are repeated in different forms, and some controls problems are present, there is certainly plenty of fun to be had.
Read Full Review >Pelit (Finland)
A funny collection of mini games. Nothing more, nothing less. [Jan 2007]
Official Nintendo Magazine UK
This game is funny - and we mean genuinely laugh-out-loud hilarious at times. [Christmas 2006, p.90]
GameTrailers
The games repeat core mechanics too often, many solo games go on too long for good alternating multiplayer, and while it’s safe to say the Wii version is going to be the superior one, it doesn’t lend itself to extended play due to the repetition and possible physical strain.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
The team obviously had a blast making Raving Rabbids; I only wish they had prolonged that enjoyment to deliver a meatier game. [Jan. 2007, p.97]
WHAM! Gaming
Like "Wii Sports," it is the perfect title to show off the Wii to friends, family and an excellent game to have in your library for those times where you just want to sit back, have a little fun and some laughs.
Read Full Review >Extreme Gamer
Served with a side dish of humor, Rayman Raving Rabbids makes use of the Nintendo Wii's motion sensor and gives the next best answer to a Wario game.
Read Full Review >Electronic Gaming Monthly
But in the end, Rabbids feels more like a Wii-mote demo than a full game--not enough flesh on the bone. [Jan. 2007, p.66]
Jolt Online Gaming UK
The real downfall for the game is that there simply isn’t enough content in Rayman: Raving Rabbids to keep you interested for a great deal of time.
Read Full Review >Nintendic
A creative, hilarious game that everyone needs to play just for the experience.
Read Full Review >Worth Playing
Although the gameplay has issues and the multiplayer is weak, the variety of mini-games is a perfect way to show off exactly what the console can do.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
It doesn't have any depth to speak of, but it's unique (for the moment) and has a genuine sense of humour, a quality few games can boast. It's an apt launch title, lacking in polish but rich in character and laughs.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Enjoyable in short bursts, it screams gimmicks rather than great ideas. [January 2007, p.52]
games(TM)
Rayman Raving Rabbids is a fun-size Wii title with universal appeal. It can’t be considered a serious gamer’s game by any stretch, though it will make you laugh a lot, and even has some staying power with the multiplayer challenges and extra modes to unlock. [Jan 2007, p.108]
VideoGamer
It's also a much more entertaining single-player experience than the other party games available for the Wii, although clearly doesn't offer the depth that a Rayman platformer would have.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
It may be disappointing to some that this title isn't a new platform game featuring Ubisoft's limbless hero, but what Wii owners ended up with is a pretty worthy substitute.
Read Full Review >GamePro
It's a neat show of some of the inventive ways developers might be able to use the Wii-mote in the future, but it's not really worth the 50 dollars unless you really dig its quirky style or absolutely love minigames.
Read Full Review >1UP
Aside from the seemingly requisite handful of games that just plain suck -- including a particularly painful one that has you slamming shut doors (via a shake of the Nunchuk), which sounds simple, but is infuriating as you attempt to find the sweet spot or figure out why it just doesn't respond to your commands sometimes -- the game's biggest fault is its surprising shortage of full-on multiplayer games.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
It certainly isn’t a game you can just turn on and enjoy any time, but if you plan on throwing many shindigs, make sure and invite Rayman Raving Rabbids.
Read Full Review >NintendoWorldReport
A lot of fun with a group of friends, but only after you've put the time in to unlock all the mini-games, or if you have an SD card and access to the Internet to download a completed save file.
Read Full Review >netjak
This game is available for multiple systems, but if you happen to have a Wii, then that is the system on which you need to play this game.
Read Full Review >Games Master UK
It uses the Wii controller well, but it's samey and multi-player isn't as good as expected. [Christmas 2006, p.84]
Edge Magazine
A party game collection for which you have to work far too hard to get much of a chance to party. [Jan 2007, p.82]
NTSC-uk
Sheer enthusiasm is what carries this product though and, when played in the right environment, it’s absolutely hilarious.

Even though it's all mini-games, and as much as you may hate the association of Wii and kiddy-esque mini-games, the humour is something that everyone can enjoy.

David G. gave it an8:
Working through story mode, logging points for everything in score mode, then trying to unlock all the bonuses (naff though they mainly are) by getting even _more_ points for everything in score mode, gives this a lot more longevity than we imagined. Not all the games are great, but enough are to be worth the twenty quid. The 3/5/10 event challenges will make ideal party games.
Chris A. gave it a10:
This game is my #1 game.The people who hate this game probable wake up having nothing to do and have no idea what fun is or means and probable like boring games so I hope you people that rated this game will agree with me.
Brenda V. gave it a9:
Pretty warped game, lots of fun though. Alot of wrist action using the remotes. Lots of games
Tee S. gave it a9:
This is one of the most fun games I have ever played and made me glad I'd bought a Wii. With highly addictive games and generally good controls, graphics and sound effects, it'll have you itching to hurt those rabbids. There are a few drawbacks such as a couple of mini-games that really aren't that responsive to the controls and end up being frustrating rather than fun as well as the multiplayer function being somewhat boring - my advice would be to play the story mode with your friends and just take games in turns. My friends and I played this game for about 5 hours solid when we first unwrapped it and I went out and bought it the next day. Enough said - go and buy it - the smile on your face will be worth the money spent.
Jeff Z. gave it an8:
Very fun game. The rabbits are funny, and the missions are varied and enjoyable. My favorite is the dancing mini game where you have to keep the beat with the songs.
[Anonymous] gave it a7:
Good-easy to control in most mini games, very funny, some of the gams are very fun over and over, good music and sound effects, good game legnth, graphics are also pretty good Bad-story doesn't make much sense, no online play but it dosn't really apply to this type of game, overall-a fun game with good control.
Simon G. gave it a7:
These rabbids are without a shadow of a doubt the most annoying characters ever created. I know some are more annoying then them, but in most cases it's not intentionally (take the fairy in Sonic and the Secret Ring for example). I really enjoy beating the crap out of them (the chorus game anyone?). Their clueless look in their eyes is always an instant laugh and their screams makes you want to hit them so hard. I'd say that maybe 80% of the 75 or so mini-games are really well done and enjoyable; where the controls make sense and work great. I'd pick this game over Wario Ware Smooth Moves or Mario Party 8 at any time, simply for the novelty and I'm pretty bored with Wario anyway. Rayman is just an accessory in this game, but that's fine with me. The reason I only gave it a 7 is that it's a compilation of party games; meaning no party, no games. It's fun with friends, but alone, once the "storyline" is over, it kinda loses its replayability. I'm gonna grab the sequel for sure as soon as it's comes out. If you want to have fun with the family over the week-end rent it, you won't be wrong; however, you might want to download a save file because only 5 games are available at the start and you have to go thru the story mode to unlock the others and that's kinda sad because party games should really be fully enjoyed right out the box.
