![]() Attempting to employ some form of strategy here is pointless - far more success comes from simply hammering away at the key until the whole of the screen is full of floating pink bubbles, capturing literally everything they come across. To do so, all you have to do is hit the '5' key as your own Rabbid skirts from side to side at the bottom, launching the bubbles when targets are in line - and that's literally it. Initially, only one game is available, where the focus (aside from carrot collecting) is on releasing pink bubbles that capture rabbids falling through the sky before they plummet off the bottom of the screen. In each of them, golden carrots are on offer, and it's your job to collect as many as you can, enabling you to unlock all of the games and Rabbids that make the line-up. Mini-games that, rather than being entertaining in their own right, only serve to open up other mini-games. However, even lavish decoration such as this can't hide the fact that Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is a collection of largely uninspired and derivative mini-games. The anthropomorphic fluffy bunnies certainly don't lack character, and everything from the menu screens to the games themselves (which total twelve) are lifted by their manic presence. No doubt aware of this, the Raving Rabbids - who star here in what is supposedly a spin-off to Ubisoft's ever-popular Rayman series - are actually in danger of overshadowing Rayman, who for so long has been the publisher's de facto mascot. They certainly have their own merit - wouldn't we all have tuned in week after week to see Robin dressed up in spandex without Batman? And why on earth haven't Luigi and Tails ever teamed up to take down Mario and Sonic? The licensing deals they could have picked up would have bulged their bank accounts no end. Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is expected to include more than 50 minigames and is scheduled to be released on November 18.You have to wonder why the sidekicks of some of the world's biggest icons never make a break for fame in their own right. Next week we will unveil the final three minigames that Ubisoft has been able to share with us. The Wii Remote and Nunchuk icons will fly down the screen on the left-hand side, and when it hits the bottom is when you swing those arms as if you're drumming. The instrumental choice doesn't do much except change the way the song sounds, and if you're not a Britney fan, it's not going to sound any better. Britney is back in Top of the Flops, where you pick an instrument (violin, drums, keyboard, vocals) and then proceed to flick the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to the song Toxic. It's easier to control with the Wii Remote but the balance board makes it feel like you're surfing, so it's a matter of preference. You'll navigate through golden rings for points, collecting bonuses along the way. You can use the Wii Balance Board or the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to control your flying rabbid. Incredible but Stupid! has you surfing through outerspace that is littered with garbage. This is pretty much the same game we've seen in previous Raving Rabbids, but it's still entertaining and the setting is quite fitting. Using the Wii Remote, you aim at the rabbids, B button is to shoot and shake the Nunchuk to reload. If you can nab more chickens than are required, you'll gain some extra points. The scene will change after a limited amount of time and you need to hit the minimum amount of chickens indicated at the bottom of the screen. However, chickens have infested the set so it's your duty to take them out with your trusty plunger gun. There are zombie rabbids who are part of the shoot, as well as a pair of young lovers who are just trying to make it out of the cemetery alive. You're taken to an old-school Hollywood movie set where they're filming a cheesy horror movie. Night of the Zombidz is one of my favorites, since you get to shoot rabbids in a chicken outfit. So this week we have: Night of the Zombidz, Incredible but Stupid! And Top of the Flops. The build that we received didn't include the solo mode or any other modes for that matter, so don't fret if you're worried about a lack of a single-player option. If you haven't been paying attention, there have been regular updates to the bundle of minigames that we have been able to try out. In the spirit of Halloween, this week we got to fight zombies and dance to Britney Spears' Toxic-scary stuff. No tushy-controlled minigames this week however, that's scheduled to come next week. It's a brand new week, and we have another set of minigames from Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party to share with you.
