  My son bought this game for me and my husband. My husband is 53, I’m 49 and my boys are 23 and 19. WE HAD A BALL. It’s a very active, very fun and funny experience. I was sore the next day as we played for 3 hours. This game is for all ages.

  Rayman 1 is probably my favorite wii game, and rayman 2 was very dissapointing – so if you feel similarly you might also love this 3rd edition.
  
  The games with the balance board are great fun. Not sure how fun it would be without that.

  Not all of the mini games are fun, but there are enough fun ones and you can skip the others.

  OMG! I got this game yesterday and it’s been cracking me up for the last 24 hours. It’s loads of silliness and fun, especially when you have a group of people to play it. I worked up a good sweat doing the dance routines, the fashion show, band idol-like, shooting the zombids and other fun stuff.

  Definitely recommend it for those that just want to keep silliness alive. Great for parties, rainy days or just because.

  Having played the original rabbids on a friends system, i was moved to purchase the 2nd edition. It was fun, but something was missing. With this 3rd installment they’ve gotten it absolutely right! I put it in the other night and had my friends dancing and rocking out in the living room. My wife, who is generally skeptical when i try to turn on the wii when guests are over, LOVED it! The integration of the balance board is fantastic! The main reason that i love the wii is the innovative use of control options, when the balance board is added into the mix, it exemplifies what the wii is truly capable of. Simple things like a driving game where you sit on a chair and use your right foot on the balance board as a gas pedal are wonderful. Why didn’t someone think of this sooner?

  This game was so much fun! We just got 10 games for our kids for Christmas and this was the best one! So fun to watch and even more fun to play.

  My whole family gets a kick out of this game. It does make excellent use of all the controllers including the balance board. Our favorite mini game is Shake It! TV where you “dance” on the balance board. The other games are also hilarious and fun. They are challenging enough to make the game enjoyable, but not so difficult that one gives up. This is the game I reccomend to all of my friends who have Wii. My 4 y/o is not quite ready for this, but definitely great for adults alone or in a group.

  If you are a serious gamer looking for a challenge, move on. You will complete all levels in this game in one afternoon and be terribly disappointed. If, however, you have a sense of humor and are in a family or party setting with mixed casual gamers and novices, you will find this an entertaining ice breaker that will get everyone up and moving.

  We were happy to have this game at our house over the holidays. It kept our college-aged daughter entertained over many hour-long sessions of play, and there’s still more for her to do. She enjoyed the music selections in the dance segments and got a kick out of shooting chickens and riding the slalom on her rump using the balance board. Her dad and I even had fun joining in a few times and did well enough to avoid total frustration – and for me, that’s no easy feat! For that alone it deserves high marks; it can be so difficult to find a game where all ages and skill levels can enjoy it right out of the box.

  I’d recommend this game highly to family and friends who are looking for something different and entertaining to do with their WII and get a little bit of exercise along the way, but NOT to serious gamers seeking extreme challenges that require hours of play to figure out and conquer. If you are the right audience, you will find this game just challenging enough to have fun and enjoy a few laughs and surprises along the way.

  I am a thirty-four year old mom and I bought this for my son for christmas this year. We have several Wii games, but this is by far one of the best! I didn’t think I would be interested in this game initially, but I tried it and can’t stop! The best part, our whole family can play! My favorite part of the game is dancing. What a great way to be active while playing with the kids. A must have! Worth the price, buy it today!!!

  So I received this game for Christmas with my balance board, since it is one of the few non-sports games that can be used with it. When I first got it, I thought it looked kind of stupid and didn’t think I would like it (I had never heard of the Raving Rabbids before). I put it in a few days later and LOVED it. I have played it more than Wii fit. I am not really that good at a lot of the games, to be honest. I find myself really drawn to the dancing game and the music game (how fun is it to play/sing along to Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse??). I think that this game is really creative and unique and can provide hours worth of playing time. I am in my early twenties, and could totally see myself playing this with friends. Definitely try this game out!

  Omg, I had read all of the reviews here about this game (which is why I bought it), but none fully prepared me for the experience of actually playing the game. It is hilarious and fun and campy and so weird. I love it!

  Before I describe my experience of this game, let me just say up-front that you do not have to have any special controllers for this game. You *can* use the balance board–and I’m sure that makes certain mini-games more fun–but you *do not have to*. This was not clear to me when I purchased the game. Also, let me say that this is only my third game for the Wii. The other two I have played are DJ Hero (also very fun) and the Sports game that came with my Wii. I have only had the Wii for about four days.

  Okay, so here are some random impressions about “RRR TV Party” that might tell you something about what everyone means when they say things like it’s hilarious and fun:

  1. Playing this game is like suddenly being thrust into a really clever, whacky cartoon where the joke is on you. This is not at all bad–it’s totally funny. I find it to be a total strength of the game. Someone had so much fun coming up with this stuff. Read #2 below for more about this…

  2. In spite of the fact that I read the reviews, I really had no idea what was going on when I started playing. As a result, the entry into the game is a bit random–with lots of choices but no clear sense of what any of them mean. This is not a bad thing. In fact, I ended up laughing so hard and and being totally caught up in the game immediately because I had no idea what would come next.

  3. It’s a series of clever mini-games, which I love, because I don’t have the attention span or time or energy frankly to devote to a game. If I want that kind of depth–personally, I would rather read a book.

  4. The mini-games cover almost every kind of video game experience you might want from a Wii as far as I can tell–and I haven’t even played them all yet! There’s one that’s like a driving game, one that’s a shooting game, posing/modeling (yes, you walk a red carpet in “Fashion Victim”–hilarious), one that’s a dancing game, one that’s like a rock band game, one that’s a maze, one where you sled, in another you ride a cow, etc.

  5. The graphics are awesomely cartoonish in a kind of “Simpons” style: colorful, clean, and simple–but not super flat (like South Park).

  6. It’s funky and the music is great (“ABC,” “Ladies’ Night,” etc.).

  7. The premise of each of the games is basically simple and intuitive enough, but there is always some twist that you have to figure out that makes it hard to master the game right off (at least for me). There were a few games I was like, “Wait, what? What is that about?!” For example, one mini-game directs you to collect bubbles and mid-way through these other animals come out and the game suddenly instructs, “Fight!” But I had no idea how to make my character fight in that game. Instead of finding this annoying, it seemed to fit with the over all wackiness and I found myself laughing hysterically.

  BOTTOM LINE: If you want a game that will instantly draw you in and make you laugh, if you’re willing to accept that to some extent the game is designed to keep you from knowing 100% what is going on at all times, if you want to move a lot (my heart rate got up in a few), if you like to dance and be silly, BUY THIS GAME. It may be a while before I buy another game–and then I might buy another Raving Rabbid game, lol.

  This strikes me as a game that all ages will enjoy.
