  I had been reading up on this title since they first announced it so I knew that it wasnt going to be another minigame-filled waste of time (lord knows the Wii has enough of those!!) what I ended up getting was a great adventure title that I’m happy I purchased! Good graphics, catchy music, hilarious hijinks, and co-op play made this one a no-brainer for me. I hope they plan on extending this franchise. Hey, we don’t even need Rayman… well, unless they plan on taking him back to his roots hehe

  First off, if you are going into Rabbids Go Home expecting the mini-game fests of the other titles in the series, you will be disappointed. That’s obviously what happened with the other reviewers did. I can honestly say that they should have read up on the title before their purchase. Rabbids never intended to be yet another sequel in the Rayman series. In fact, it doesn’t even star Rayman! Ubisoft decided to take their crazy rabbit characters and move in a new direction and I feel they mostly succeeded. The graphics are detailed and stylized, the slapstick humor is nonsensical but funny as hell, and Rabbids IS a collect-a-thon, but rather than it being an excuse to extend gameplay (like with other games where you collect X amount of coins, tokens or what-have you) it actually has purpose in this title as it’s the focus of the story and integral to the Rabbids goal of getting home. If you are open-minded and not expecting more of the same as before, you will really like Rabbids!!

  I agree with the person who said that the first 2 reviewers gave this a 1 because it wasn’t the mini game based thing that they expected. This game should be reviewed based on what it IS, not what someone expected it to be. A bit of research to know what you were buying would have saved you the trouble and would have saved this EXCELLENT adventure game from bad scores it doesn’t deserve. As an adventure game, Rabbids Go Home is completely original. I’ve never heard of a game where you build a huge junk pile to get to the moon and thus go home. Or anything even close to that plotline. And you get there in the most crazed, fun, weird and wonderful ways you can hope for. One similarity there IS to the previous titles is the humor. The writing is once again clever and witty, with a lot of “What the….? YES!!!!!!!!” moments. The Rabbids are manic as usual, thank goodness! I’ve always thought their zaniness was the best part of the mini games. The game looks great too, they are really squeezing the Wii for all the graphical juice they can get out of it. The controls are much improved over previous Rabbids games, things are very fine tuned now and feels much more natural. All in all this game was amazing, I can’t think of one single reason to dock any points.

  This game is the most fun I have had playing Wii. This is my first Rabbid game so I don’t know what what offered in the past by this series. All I know is I haven’t been able to put this game down. The intuitive use of the Wii remote and nunchuck is the best of any game I have owned thus far. It’s a blast

  My whole family laughed their heads off through this game–by far the wackiest, most hilarious experience on the Wii this year!

  (And, as a bonus, the game even delivers a cool message to our kids with its comedic treatment of materialism and our consumeristic society via archetypical characters and genuinely funny dialogues).

  There’s a Rabbid inside the Wii Remote, which you can mess with and customize at will to create your own Rabbids to play with in-game. Ingenious! (It’s also probably the most creative baby rattle ever invented–Yes, there are videos on [...] that proove it ;D)

  Skeptical, don’t just take my word for it: Check out any of these reviews via [...], where the game averages 8+ (and the trade press usually trash this kind of game for everyone!). It also won an IGN Editor’s Award and IGN’s award for Best Sound. Here’s an excerpt of a review that I found particularly spot-on from the A.V. Club online:

  “…Rabbids Go Home doesn’t go by the book. No, the snobs at Ubisoft Montpellier commissioned an original brass-band soundtrack, hired witty writers, and obsessed over the details of their character animations. Some nerve. Rabbids Go Home makes everyone else look bad…” etc

  A super game without the word “dead” in the title is a nice change of pace, no?

  first, let me admit that it was nothing like the first games, except that the rabbids are as silly and stupid as always. There aren’t The minigames like the first 3, and Rayman has completely been dropped out of the game. Not that i’m complaining: this game has had me laughing so hard while presenting me with such fun levels, crazy missions, and lovable characters.

  The story is, as you would expect with the rabbids, as crazy as always: the bunnies want to go to the moon so that they can sleep in peace, so, in order to get there, they decide to build a pile of junk so high that they will touch to moon. And where to get this stuff? The human’s city, of course! You take control of your bunnies and your shopping cart, and drive of through different places: malls, banks, hospitals… and steal as much stuff as possible to get to your destination. But the humans are slowly learning to fight back…

  Unlike the other Rabbids, this is not a 4 player game. Basically, one person is doing all the steering, but a second player can connect at anytime to help him pick up junk you can’t reach. The bosses aren’t too hard, the levels are easy enough to play, while the whole time you and your family are laughing your heads off while watching rabbids attack humans, pick up the most random stuff, breaking airplanes, chasing cows, tubing down a mountain. It was the fun and laughs i’ve had at the same time for a very, long time.

  It took us about ten hours to finish the game, but there are still some levels to go. My family was hooked to every minute of it until we added the last peace of junk to the pile. It is, without a doubt, one of the best video game of all time!

  pros and cons:
  
  pros:
  
  + The levels are are easy to understand.
  
  + the controls are easy to get used to
  
  + the Rabbids are the most lovable and stupid video game characters of all time.
  
  + You don’t get stuck on in the same spot for a long time. You figure out how to get out easily.

  cons:
  
  - you have to strip the humans and steal their clothes. Don’t worry, they are still wearing their undies, but for some that may cause a problem. Not to mention that your main character as a bunny in a thong…oopsies.
  
  - If you’re expecting a game like the first three Rabbids, you’ll be disappointed.
  
  -It’s not 4 players like the others.

  Ok, have the folks that panned this game actually played it? I’m a huge Rabbids fan. I have all the Rabbid games and I was not disappointed in this at all. It is different. If they made the same kind of game, those same people would be complaining because it is the same old, same old. This is more of an adventure game. It is still hilarious and fun and quirky. I love it and so does my 6 year old, although he doesn’t get the humor (thank goodness) and he is often asking me why I am ROFLMAO! The only Rabbids game I like as much as this one is TV party, another Ubisoft masterpiece. If you like this game, you will probably also like the Munchables, btw. Quit your whining and try playing it, BWAAAAAAAAAAAH!

  This is probably the best game an adult can get for their kid, because its very entertaining to watch and listen to as the kid runs their Rabbids through the various levels, loading up the shopping cart with any kind of junk they can get their grubby little paws on. Its actually a lot better than most of the TV programs on, once the kid is going around full blast trying to load cows, beds and even an airplane into their cart to flush down the sewers and on to their freaking huge pile of stuff.

  The music is unusually catchy (and yes, available to purchase separately) and in the background there are random announcements making fun of how absurd modern life has gotten (to understand them, there is a subtitles caption you can turn on).

  So, overall, get it for the kid, then lean back and enjoy the silly show.

  We had just gotten the Wii and asked for this game for Christmas. We knew nothing of Rayman or the other games. Rabbids Go Home is GREAT! Our seven year old can play it, I (video game challenged) can play it, and my husband loves it! He has chronic severe pain, and playing Rabbids is pretty much the only thing we’ve found that lets him forget his pain for a while. Nothing else engages him enough. It is also the first thing to make him laugh in quite some time. I don’t see how anyone who enjoys video games can NOT like this game. If you have a Wii, you should own this game.

  This was a gift for my grand daughter, she loves it and plays it almost every day with my younger grand son who enjoys watching the game being played, gives mom a break. It is well worth the money.
