Also posted in the NGamer scores topic, but it deserves it's own topic.

The latest edition of English magazine NGamer has a preview of Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. The game is coming out this year, and will once again feature mini-games. The story: The Rabbids are attempting an rebellion from beneath a shopping mall and the mini games will be Rayman attempting to stop their training.

And now the bad news: NGamer didn't seem impressed as some mini games look like rehashes from the original.

UbiSoft will host its own mini-E3, as most companies are having this month, on monday, so perhaps then will we see more from this game.

Kinda boring! At least Wii owners have something to play....

TemplaerDude · May 18, 2007

you just wanna grab one up!

jetpacks was yes · May 18, 2007

I hope Ancel isn't working on this.

Alpha_eX · May 18, 2007

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

They better not start churning these out as often as the mario party games, at least those were fun for more than afew days.

Y2Kev · May 18, 2007

You're not tricking me into buying this this time, Ubisoft!

tanasten · May 18, 2007

Oh no! More mini.games!

WTF, I hate Raving Rabbids. Didn't like it at all!

But good news. I will keep looking forward to heard news from Ubisoft. Red Steel 2 please!

Where's my Beyond Good & Evil 2!?

Zerodoppler · May 18, 2007

So they've turned one of the only two good franchises they ever made into a mini-game crapfest? My god, ubisoft sucks.

ethelred · May 18, 2007

Stormbringer · May 18, 2007

Don't worry, one day, they will end up running out of mini-games ideas. Only then we will finally get our Rayman 4. Beeelieve.

zallaaa · May 18, 2007

noooo, I wanted some platform action.....

I was hoping that Raving Rabbids would be the game that would get them some cash to do BG&E2, or something else bold.

Taker666 · May 18, 2007

I would have dropped the minigame idea and concentrated on either a lightgun style shooter based on the gun sections of the first game or a game based on the dance section. Expand on what worked.

Saterium · May 18, 2007

I want the platform style Rayman to return =(

Raving Rabbids was kinda fun though, hopefully they have some neat minigame ideas for this one.

Morbid Angel · May 18, 2007

Give bunnies their own game dammit!

Community Forum · May 18, 2007

Dear Ubisoft,

If you are going to put in the manual how to switch the game to progressive scan, don't forget to actually enable that option in the game itself before it ships.

Love, Shoteh

Guess Ancel's waiting to play/copy Mario Galaxy before he delves full force into a waggle platformer? C'mon man, just do it!

Lo-Volt · May 18, 2007

What the ****, make a real Rayman game on the Wii!

Blimblim · May 18, 2007

Thankfully RRR2 isn' the only game being worked on at Ubi Montpellier.

Alpha_eX · May 18, 2007

Ancel said that he was planning BGE2 when quetsioned at VG Live in London, I think he said that just because he was pretty much put on the spot, was funny.

If there's a BGE2, as much as I like the Wii, I would rather it be on a next gen console, it would look amazing.

Yes, IF BGE2 ever comes to be (I doubt it), I would be EXTREMELY disappointed if they were to release it on the Wii (more than most games).

I hope he's not spending much time on this Raving Rabbids crap, though.

New IP or revisiting the awesomeness?

btw, I really enjoyed the on-rails shooting games in Raving Rabbids, the rest is forgettable though.

And soon, Mario Party will catch up with the numbered Final Fantasy series. :lol

Ramenman · May 18, 2007

As I said in the other thread, there was already 80 mini games in the first one, which came out 6 months ago, so it's obvious that another mini game fest will be rehash over rehash.

That's why it's just a cash-in.

That's why if Ancel is at it this time again I may want to break something. Seriously, you cancel a rayman platformer thus canceling my hopes for some Rayman 2 greatness + crazy storyline on my Wii, to make some party game. I can understand, benefit from the console launch cause this sort of game wont sell anymore when the blockbusters are out.

But not. I said not. Like in NOT TWO TIMES !! K ? THX.

krypt0nian · May 18, 2007

Fooled me once, Ancel. Make a real Rayman, you tool.

Avrum · May 18, 2007

As much as I like Raving Rabbids, considering how neutered the game turned out to be compared to earlier previews and the fact that they could have been spending this time to create an adventure concerning the Rabbids, I'm not exactly too thrilled about a sequel to Rabbids. This is especially considering if the minigames seem more like rehashes from the first game.

It might take years and dozen of sequels but it will happen eventually. Rayman "Waggle That" 4 NEEDS to happen... Right ?

angelfly · May 18, 2007

RRR was ok but it really doesn't need a sequel at all. I'd was see something new or at least a true Rayman game.

I agree, it was good for what it was.. a launch game. But I much rather see a normal Rayman platformer (no matter what platform) instead of this tbh.

Jaded Alyx · May 18, 2007

house · May 18, 2007

According to gamefront Rayman RR (Wii) sold more then 830.000 units worldwide. A sequel is not surprising.

Red Steel sold about 950.000 units, so I would expect e sequel of it too.

TurtleSnatcher · May 18, 2007

RRR2 is better..

I got to try it out.. They now use licensed rabbits like there was a Naruto dressed one, and a Spidey dressed one.

They also had a game where it involved eating carrots as fast as possible.. Then you spit out a drool line and dangled it and swung it into buckets below.. :lol

They really put more effort into the games this time.

Amir0x · May 18, 2007

Well there is something Wii certainly needs more of, I think.

A Link to the Past · May 18, 2007

I want them to wean people off of RR; make RR a platformer with mini-games and some mini-game elements.

CrisKre · May 18, 2007

I HATED the first game. What happened to the UbiSoft of a few years back? Rayman is going the Sonic way as far as im concerned. =[

That said, im not passing judgemnt until I see the game, but concept wise im turned off.

Cmon, it wasn't bad - it just wasn't Rayman.

Almost 900,000 reasons on the Wii is why. It had issues being a first attempt on the wii so they could potentially make the 2nd far better but I think a wait and see approach is the best bet.

Amir0x · May 18, 2007

I hope they release more videos of bunnies screaming and dancing. There needs to be more of such cutting edge humour in this world!

CrisKre · May 18, 2007

Cmon, it wasn't bad - it just wasn't Rayman

Then why does the case read RAYMAN? lol. Nah, sorry, look at my avartar. Thats me if i ever cross Ancel about RR. Lost opportunity as far as im concerned.

Was there an event or something? Any other wii games you got to try?

Do you know any other details about the game? (Nr of minigames, etc)

missed opportunity, they could have made it a parody on Dead Rising.

There were a few other mini games playable, and yes there were other games playable, but I won't go into details.
