I've had this for a few days now and really like it. I've not gotten very far, only past the first two days, but I'm a little restricted at the moment with one hand in plaster which really doesn't help. The way that you have to use the controllers really works, and makes the game a fun experience. I think this might well be one to keep in my collection. My son enjoyed it too, although he found some of the controls hard at first in time it became easier to understand. The challenges aren't really easy to do, and so I suspect this game will keep me busy for a while to come.

This is a great game for the Wii. It uses the Wiimote and Nunchuk in a multitude of ways in various mini games, which no doubt do start repeating themselves, but increase in difficulty. I actually went and bought this because it was that good. And then go ahead and try challenge mode, it's incredibly hard... I had cramps for days from some of those tasks. Great fun, also in multiplayer and you can check your ranking online, but with a code, not from within the game (damn you Nintendo).

If the Wii had failed to have the impact that it has had on the console market, I would guess a game like this might be to blame. Why ? Well the 'Wii-mote' control scheme adopted for the multitude of mini-games can be somewhat frustrating at times. The game is a perfect technical demonstration of what the Wii can do, but as a game it is somewhat shallow and even repetitive. I think that this is a 'party' game in essence and treated as such it can be deemed to be a success, but as a single player experience it falls a little short of the mark although it can provide entertainment in short doses. One to have in your collection to show what the Wii can do, but it may gather more dust than playtime !

I can't understand why this game is so acclaimed in the gaming press as it seemed to be the bare skeleton of an actual full game more than anything else. Clearly the developers, Ubisoft, ran out of time when making the game as there's not a single bit of platforming fun anywhere to be found on the disc. So it's another round of minigames then, which would be fine if it had a brilliant multiplayer, because let's face it - these games are designed to be played with friends. Unfortunately it doesn't have a good multiplayer and can only be described as dull with players often forced to take turns and none of the madcap action from, say, the Mario Party games. However, it does have surprisingly nice graphics and it will make you laugh so it is worth a rent. One thing to be aware of though is the fact that often the controls won't work, which is easily the most frustrating feeling in the world as you often feel cheated out of winning. Also - be prepared to move your furniture around as the pointer in Rayman will only work if you're at precisely the right distance.

A very surreal game with a mixture of mini-games that are either fun and original, or dull and annoying. As a game that demonstrate's what the Wii can do it works great but it probably won't hold your interest for long.
