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

GameFocus

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]

GamingExcellence

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

Cheat Code Central

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.

G4 TV

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.

Games Master UK

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.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

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

GameZone

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.

Da Gameboyz

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.

Game Informer

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

VideoGamer

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.

1UP

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.

GameSpot

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

Gamervision

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.

Nintendo Power

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

Jen P gave it a10:
This is possibly my favorite wii game EVER! It's fun, it's active, and it's hilarious! the creators are absolutely genius...it's the best game evaaaaaaaa!

Shaheem E gave it an8:
Probably the best of the series so far. Majority of the 50 mini games are good, with few duds. The dancing and music games are super, with top tracks. Makes good use of the balance board. Lots of party fun to be had here, but the rabbids are not as funny as they were in the RRR I&II.

Lisa G gave it a9:
This game was very entertaining to watch as it was to play. You could lose some serious poundage from the dancing portion!

Anthony O gave it a9:
Great game for anyone who does not already own the other Raving Rabbids games. There are plenty of folks who did not jump in on the Wii in the first 12 months, so when you think about it, any of these critics who act like the entire audience lives and breathes videogames 24/7 is retarded and off-base. As a party game, TV Party rocks. Not a solo game, but when you have 2 or more people, the competitive elements in the game make for real social fun. Raving Rabbids TV Party is the kind of game that has put the Wii on top of the pile because it makes it fun not only for the players themselves, but injects social interactions back into games, which the Playstation and Xbox approaches had been so great at taking out of our living rooms and putting online.

Alejandro D gave it a9:
This game is one of the best entertainment for the family and friends

Tom P gave it an8:
It is a very fun game and should be recommended for many family and friends.
