 Too much fun for old farts! December 4, 2008
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.
Obnoxiously Charming and Addictive! November 19, 2008

Rayman and the Rabbids are back! We own both the first and second of this game, and you'll see much of the game's format has stayed the same. In this edition, Rabbids have taken over the television and all its channels, leaving it up to you to win the games in different timeslots on different channels with catchy titles like Trash TV and Macho TV. Win a game in each timeslot, and you earn a new day with new games to play. We have played Monday and are working on Tuesday. New for this edition is the Wii Balance Board games. Know using the board is optional, and all games can be played without. However, be ready to calibrate the board before each mini-game. As a mom of a 5 and 6 year old, I have to agree with the previous reviewer. You should preview all games before deciding whether to let your little ones in on the fun. This edition seems to be a little more edgey and obnoxious than the previous ones. For example, one of the games is called Pimp my Rabbid, and even though you just dress the Rabbids as directed, I don't want to explain or add pimp to the boys' vocabulary. :-) As in the past, you don't win by being nice to the other players, so there's no cooperative play. It's every Rabbid for him/herself. Be prepared for body humor (think fart rockets! and laxative commercials) and some comical violence. However, if it all works for you, then this is non-stop fun. The games are fun and mostly originals, and I love finding the comparisons to real life shows. There's a Cult Movie channel that's on Monday's line up that asks you to shoot chickens in a graveyard as two rabbids are being chased by zombies. I don't know why, but these simple games are addicting, and use of the balance board makes them more so. For example, in one game you mow over your opponent with a tractor on a race track. The balance board is used like the gas and brake pedals to accelerate and skid. In another game, you surf on an ironing board and the balance board really makes it feel all that more real. Another example is when you sit on the board to slide down a snow covered mountain on the stomach of a Beast in a game called Beestie Boarding. So as I said, obnoxiously charming and addictive! Just beware it may not be suitable for your kids, but that's for you to decide. Rave on!
Great Fun! November 19, 2008

I have been looking forward to this game for a while now and was not disappointed in my first night of play. I have a Wii balance board and I had a ton of fun sledding, working out, biking, surfing and dancing - and many of these on my rear!
The whole game itself is charming and well laid out. It can be quite the workout on the abs as an added bonus. My only quibble is that the Wii balance board has to be re-calibrated every time you play a game, even if you're re-playing the last game. That can get a bit cumbersome. But other than that, it's a lot of fun and will have you giggling over the absurdity of things like being in a zombie shootout and aiming for the bunny chickens instead of the zombies.
I can't wait to get some friends over to play along with me as I imagine that playing this game with a group would be hysterical.
Overall I found this game well worth the price and well designed.

RRR3 is similar to RRR2 but enhanced with the use of the wii balance board. Note that if you do not have a balance board, you can still play this game, you just have to turn off that feature.
Personally, I prefer RRR1 because of the storyline set up but RRR3 is still much fun compared to other games out there. I am close to 40 and still find the mini-games entertaining. There's a little bit of crude humor (adds to its charm) but may not be appropriate for young kids. Definitely a great party game.
Get your butt off the couch and onto the balance board! November 19, 2008

If you've never played a Rayman Raving Rabbids game you won't believe the level of goofiness and fun involved in these games. This is the third one, this time with those crazy Raving Rabbids taking over the TV airwaves and it's the first one to incorporate the use of the balance board in some of the more than 50 mini games. The games can be played alone, but they're really meant to be party games, and are hilarious with a group of up to 8 people by passing the controls or up to 4, each with their own controls. They make good use of the Wiimote and nunchuk. There are several games that use the balance board and the ones where you sit on the balance board and control the game with your butt by leaning in different directions are really funny, like the one riding a bull down a ski slope. Some of the games are a little crude, like crouching to make your surfing Rabbid pass gas, but imagine that with a group of friends (or the family after Thanksgiving dinner) and you can see how the game could liven up a party. Some of the other games are played standing on the board and leaning one way or the other. Even though only one person at a time can use the balance board, half the fun is watching the person playing.
I have the second Rabbids game but have never tried the first one. I like this one better than the second so far. The games seem a little more fun and maybe have a little more thought put into them. There are a lot of games where you get some exercise, like the dancing routines where you see these little stickmen at the top of the screen directing your moves while the crazy Rabbids and dance on the lower part of the screen or shaking the Wiimotes like crazy over your head. And all the balance board games involve moving around which is better than just sitting around on the couch. You can, by the way, play the balance board games using the handheld controls, in case you don't have the Wii Fit board yet.
I played this game with a friend who just bought it and based on that, I'm putting it on my Amazon wish list. It'll be great for the holiday parties and it's different enough from that last Rabbids game to make it worthwhile but still starring the crazy Rabbid Rabbids that I like. Wouldn't it be fun to have one as a pet?
