Rayman Raving Rabbids is a game that was released on the Wii in 2006. The game is a spin-off in the Rayman series. The game consists of 75 minigames. The game received a Nintendo Select release in Europe in 2011 and got rereleased on the Wii U eShop.
Gameplay[]
The game is a huge compilation of mini-games that use the Wii's remote control in unique and interesting ways. In the game, Rayman must escape from the Rabbids who recently captured him, by completing multiple mini-games. Each time you complete a mini-game, the Rabbids give you a plunger that you will stick on the wall. Each time you get a plunger, you stick it right above the other one so that eventually you'll be able to climb out of your dungeon.
Plot[]
The game begins with a cut-scene showing Rayman having a picnic with the local Globox kids. Their picnic is interrupted when an earthquake erupts and the Globox kids sink into the ground while 3 Rabbids appear in their place. Their commander Sergueï kidnaps Rayman and throws him in an arena with angry Rabbids, several of whom are armed. Rayman must complete his first trials now, and afterwards Sergueï takes him to his cell and gives him a plunger. Initially the Rabbids jeer him, but as Rayman completes more trials, they grow bored, and eventually he even becomes popular among the Rabbids and they cheer him on, in addition to making his jail cell more hospitable. Eventually, Rayman amasses a collection of plungers as rewards for completing the trials. By building a ladder out of all his plungers to reach the window (and settling with an annoying bird who keeps defecating on him), Rayman manages to escape and free himself. Once liberated, he remembers the Globox kids and attempts to return through one of the Rabbid holes to rescue them, but winds up getting stuck in the hole. In a post-credits scene, Rayman is still stuck in the hole through the night, and sheep come to eat the leftovers of his picnic.

Reception[]
The game has received positive reviews. IGN and GameSpot complimented the game's "sick sense of humor" and a heavy emphasis on fun, as well as the design of the bunnies and the game in general. Reviews highlighted the story, music and sound, and said that gameplay is addictive and optimized for the Wii. A few critics claimed that other developers of Wii launch titles had simply ported their games and "tacked on" Wii controls. It is one of the highest-selling third party games for the Wii.
