Great fun, and ideal party fodder, the latest Rayman Rabbids is top-notch entertainment for friends and family.

Rabbids is still the best minigame compilation in town, hands down. If you liked the previous versions even a little, you definitely need to pick this one up. Just be warned, the game really shines with the balance board, so if you don’t have one, borrow one. You’ll see what I mean.

Humour, good minigames and all the Wii complements: The best Rabbids have returned.

NGamer UK
Easily the best Rabbids have been, making TV Party the minigame compilation to get. Wobbly and very, very silly. What more can we say? [Christmas 2008, p.44]

In summary, TV Party is an Ubisoft Rabbid game. If you liked the first two, you'll love this one.

If you're in the market for a fun party title that will get all your friends and family involved, you have to give this one a try! The game is really fun in small doses, and it's very easy to pick-up-and-play. No one should feel left out of this party, as the title ensures everyone's included, for good or for bad.

While TV Party doesn’t have the most amazing or original selection of mini-games, the inherent charm of the Rabbids make it unique and hilarious.

Minigames really aren't for everyone, but Rayman does them very well indeed. [Christmas 2008, p.79]

Game Over Online
It’s cute, funny, clever, and the controls are all very responsive and tight for a collection like this with so many different games to build. So, if you’ve got the itch for some light-hearted minigame fun, go out and pick this one up.

It's a classy package and certainly the best Raving Rabbids game yet but please, we don't need any more.

As with the almost limitless number of mini-game collections coming out for the Wii, the overall goal is to have fun. If you can’t find something fun with TV Party then I don’t know what game you’re playing.

GameTrailers
Whether it’s the TV parodies or inventive balance board support, Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is a fresh successor to the original. Yes, Wii mini-game collections have been done to death, but TV Party does it right, and does it differently.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is yet another solid entry into the very populated mini-game genre market.

IGN
Rabbids TV Party doesn't rewrite the mini-game genre. It's a tried and true third installment in the series that I feel shares more in common with the original than its boring sequel.

The dancing game has that perfect mix of embarrassment and fun that makes it just as entertaining to watch as it is to play.

The mini-games here are far better than those in last year's disappointing sequel and the Balance Board support gives it some unique novelty value.

PALGN
Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party breathes new life in the franchise thanks to the inclusion of Wii Balance Board support and a more appealing set of mini-games. However, it’s time Ubisoft took it up a notch as the Rabbids humour and style is starting to wear thin.

You probably won't put too much alone time into the game, but TV Party's an enjoyable pick-up-and-play option if you can get few friends or family members on board.

Meristation
The idea of using all the Wii complements is a nice one for those who have them but it may be a high entry fee for the rest of players. TV Party keeps the whacky humour of the series, but the game mechanics are getting old and the repetition of minigames from past entries show there is a lack of ideas.

GamePro
The series' trademark quirky sense of humor is in full effect, but with monotonous gameplay hampered by unresponsive controls, TV Party never really stands out in a sea of mini-game compilations.

The crazy sense of humor remains intact, but hackneyed and rudimentary motion controls have lost almost all of their luster.

With an overwhelming number of party games already on the Wii, including the two previous Raving Rabbids titles, it’s hard to justify spending fifty bucks on this game.

With its third installment in three years, the Raving Rabbids series is quickly growing stale. [Holiday 2008, p.86]
