[colinp]

This is, what, fourteen hours old...? Getting desperate to cause a scene Wario?

 

[infiniteloop]

Are either worth $30? Espesh with WW round the corner.

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Good job Wario. Now soemone is going to go out and buy Red Steel.

I think both are probably worth 30 dollars. I got bored with Rayman sort of quick, though because some of the minigames weren't that well executed and the game is buggy but so is Red Steel but it took me a while to really get into it. I rented both but I end up keeping Rayman only because I lost the box to it.

 

[disappeared]

Red Steel still isn't worth a purchase. Even at $30. The game is terrible, end of story.

 

[Raw64life]

What makes the thread even funnier is that Rayman and Red Steel are the best selling games on Wii next to Zelda.

 

[VOOK]

Red Steel is a bomb yet its the second best selling Wii game in NA? No...

 

[Wario64]

Good job Wario. Now soemone is going to go out and buy Red Steel.

you should probably avoid going to circuit city the next week if you cringe at people buying bad games

That does not mean they're good

You are a genius.

 

[FlyinJ]

WE TRIED IT, IT'S NO GOOD

 

[AlternativeUlster]

All I am saying is that is a hot price for that Eragon game.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Cool I should go shopping for Rayman

 

[Belfast]

Yeah, Rayman wasn't as good as I thought it might be. After plowing through the story mode, I haven't found a cause to really go back to it. I need to trade it in or something before its trade-in value goes bomba, too.

 

[Dimmuxx]

Rayman is awesome so at 30$ you should buy it.

 

[disappeared]

Flier fixed for sanity's sake...

 

[Odysseus]

bomba? apparently they're giving 360 games away!*

I accidentally bought Red Steel at full price so I have no room to judge others. I can only teach them the error of their ways.

accidentally? did it fall into your hands while you weren't paying attention?

 

[JCX]

Is rayman worth $30?

 

[Taurus]

Is rayman worth $30?

Yes.

 

[ivysaur12]

Yeah, I thought Red Steel did very well in the NA...

Haunted Gamestop. Damnedest thing.

i keep telling yall to quit shopping there, but no one ever listens

Is rayman worth $30?

if you have friends to play with...maybe...

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Hmm, VCS dropped to, must buy for any PSP owner. And yea Rayman is a steal at 30 bucks... Especially if you have people to play it with.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Isn't VCS the bigger story here?

 

[Femmeworth]

:lol Nice. Someone hack Circuit City's site stat!

 

[Amir0x]

I got Rayman Raving Rabbids for free, so I win Circuit City! I win!

Is rayman worth $30?

I'm tempted to say no. It's a real letdown once you've played anything on the Wii with more precise controls (especially Smooth Moves, I'm betting), because some of the minigames are reduced to "shake the Wii remote and nunchuk" in a really non-immersive manner. And then it gets really annoying when it only counts certain KINDS of shakes (specific motions) as correct triggers, without really helping you to figure out what those shakes are. For example, the music minigames played a LOT better for me when I treated the Wii remote and nunchuk like drumsticks, rather than shaking them as the Rabbid graphic demonstrated.

It's agitating that Ubisoft spent so much time working on this game, and working closely with Nintendo, and it just feels unpolished and unpleasant, despite the humor saving it a bit. $20 perhaps, but $30 may be overspending.

 

[Amir0x]

Why couldn't Rayman just be a totally awesome platformer? I mean, even in that form it would have fit the Nintendo demographic fine without being reduced to a mediocre party game like half the Wii library at the moment. We could have used a good platformer

 

[Pellham]

hm I think i will pick up Rayman (since I have several friends who liked it). I already rented Red Steel and found out how much it sucked from that experience.

A question for the ages.....we'll never know what drugs Ancel was doing when he made that decision.

 

[drohne]

i played a bit of red steel at a kiosk the other day. what dismal controls. all the imprecision of a joypad, plus a queasy floaty feeling that only the waggle wand can bring you. wow.

edit: nba2k7 get

 

[Belfast]

Rayman is a classic example of rabid N-fans kidding themselves into liking something that's really rather piss-poor in execution.

 

[momolicious]

did Rayman really bomb

 

[Regret Truth]

NBA 2K7 for 39.99 is a steal.

Oh yeah, all the reviews for this game thus far agree with these sentiments, right?

BTW, for whatever its worth, Rayman is decent enough fun with other people.

I would refuse to play this game by myself. Unfortuantely all the games have to be unlucked. I'd advoacte unlocking any content with a group passing the controller between each minigame. Works well as a drinking game too.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

I'm shocked that vice city stories dropped after only 2 months. I wasn't willing to pay full price (59.99 in Canada, bleh)and thought I'd have to wait until greatest hits in 9 months or so. The price drop is everywhere here in Canada. Futureshop has it for 39.99, EB for only 34.99. For that price, it's mine this week.

 

[jgkspsx]

Well, I'd pick up Rayman for $30. The question is, will it be cheaper than that by February when I plan to get a Wii...?

 

[rkenshin]

guess they fear no-one will buy Rayman anymore when Warioware hits the scene

That's the way I've unlocked most of the stuff. Drinking and playing RRR with friends is the way to go.

Because people usually go after the inferior game.

 

[Amir0x]

Anihawk, you should have fled the Rayman sinking ship months ago. You drowned on that one for sure. :lol

So says the "HEY, RED STEEL LOOKS NEAT" guy.

All I'm saying is that RRR is the only good game in the genre, and I've been proven factually correct.
