    Raving Rabbids Impressions

    Rayman. Can't stand him. Not ever. Not anyone of his 50 bazillion games. Not on any system. Not once. Not till now.

    I love, really, truly love Rayman's introduction to the Wii.

    Essentially, it's a WarioWare take off, where Rayman, trapped by a heard of angry, very mouthy rabbits, has to perform a series of challenges as he tries to free himself from their furry, adorable clutches.

    I've only played through a dozen or so of the game so far, but I like all of them. Sure, some are a little eh, but for the most part they're quite fun.

    My favorite, by far, is bunny hunting, a tight first-person shooter that has you packing plungers as you take on a pack of similarly-armed rabbits. While the hunting game is really just a rail shooter, it's still a ton of fun and you can do headshots. Seriously, every time you thwap a bunny perfectly in the face with your plunger gun it actually says headshot. How can it get any better than that?

    Other games like the variety of races, cow tossing and dancing are equally fun. I do have to point out that this is the title that features a first-person game that has you pumping carrot juice at approaching bunnies. Stop and think about that for a second. All you see in this game is a bunch of bunnies and you spraying a thick orange stream on them. Nuff said.

    The worst of the games, so far, is probably one that has you tracing images of food using the remote. Sorta boring, but it's so short it's not a big deal.

    If you're up for a fun collection of motion-heavy games on the Wii, this is the title for you. If you are looking for any depth or a bunny-less plot, than steer clear.
