A great sequel to the first Raving Rabbids

This is a fun game following in the footsteps of the first Raving Rabbids, using the same crude but funny humor appropriate for all ages to enjoy. The basic concept of the game is that the Rabbids are using a shopping mall as a base to launch trips to find out about the world in preparation of an invasion which Rayman must try to stop. The variety of choices in how you can play, the character you can be, and the ability to change how the character looks helps prevent boredom and redundancy. Frustration is minimized by allowing you to choose Accessibility Modes - Easy helps you to get used to how the remote and nunchuck are used, with simple use of controls and instructions (high score are not saved); and Normal for when you can use your controllers well (high scores can be beaten and recorded). Training allows you to choose a mode for each mini-game. It has great replay value in that it is not like the games with a "defeat-it-then-it's-over" storyline. There are 3 options to play the game:
1) Trips - You can choose normal or customized trips around the world in which you play a series of games in a row (Single player is Rayman, Multiplayers choose a character). Before starting, you choose one Accessibility Mode for the entire trip. You also name your trip, choose the duration (by choosing a length of time either in minutes or until all the games you selected are played) and the type of ranking (which affects how points are given to each place at the end of each mini-game - the player with the most points at the end of the trip wins!). You make mini-games available by unlocking them at your destinations. You may later customize trips by modifying a trip you created before or creating a new one.
2) Free Play - You have to play at least one trip before you can do this. You can go back and replay the mini-games you have unlocked on trips, and try to beat your record. You can play as Rayman or a Rabbid.
3) Plaza - This takes you to the main area of the Shopping Mall, where you can choose Character Customization (changing your Rayman or Rabbid's styles of clothing, hair, and accessories which are unlocked when you beat a previous record score in a mini-game); the Shooting Games Arcade, where you play various shooting mini-games unlocked on trips (play alone or challenge another player); or the Jukebox, where you play mini-games of coordination and rhythm and you can showcase your character's singing talent(or lack thereof)using songs you have unlocked during trips.
You can Pause the game at any time then you choose whether to Resume, Quit, or Retry (you can't retry when playing a Trip). Your progress is saved automatically in a data file after each game/trip.
We all enjoy this game. In fact, out of all of the games we have this one has been played the most so far. I feel this game is well-worth the price. (Don't miss the first Raving Rabbids game, too!)
